Urgent document and legal deliveries throughout New York
It’s 2:15 p.m. on a Friday. A litigation attorney at an Albany firm receives a surprise call from opposing counsel: a settlement agreement must be signed and filed with the New York State Court of Appeals before 5:00 p.m.
Knowing traffic on I-787 is already backing up for the weekend, the paralegal calls A1 Xpress for same-day legal courier service. Within twenty minutes, one of our couriers arrives, logs the handoff with a timestamp, and navigates through downtown Albany.
The firm stays in close contact with A1 Xpress and receives confirmation of delivery with a photo and signature at 4:32 p.m., just in time to avoid a costly legal delay.
Fully compliant, secure document delivery
Chain-of-custody tracking available for legal documents.

Same-day medical
courier services you can trust
We move more than documents, and sometimes speed isn’t a luxury. It’s crucial. The healthcare system relies on our expert couriers to get items like pharmaceuticals and test results from point A to point B:
- Same-day delivery across New York for doctor’s offices
- Patient care center rush courier services
- Pharmacies rushing prescriptions between locations or care facilities
Fast local delivery for retailers and small businesses
Say it’s peak fall foliage season in the Adirondacks. A popular travel blogger just featured a local artisan’s handcrafted goods from a small shop in Lake Placid, and orders are pouring in from across the state.
But all the inventory is stuck in the artist’s workshop in the mountains, and there’s no way to distribute it to customers in Rochester and Syracuse who need their orders before the weekend. That doesn’t mean missing out on this seasonal surge of sales, though.
That’s where we step in. Whether it’s a single drop-off point or a multi-stop route, we move the goods that keep your business running smoothly. New York State retailers and small businesses of all sizes trust us with their last-minute deliveries:
- Clothing boutiques
- E-commerce businesses
- Marketing and graphic design firms
- Print shops
- Tailors and alteration shops
- Wedding planners
- Personal shoppers

Have Questions about
Same-Day Delivery in New York?
We’ve Got Answers
Does rush delivery from A1 Xpress offer secure delivery for sensitive legal documents?
Yes. We use chain-of-custody tracking so you can feel confident your documents remain secure from pickup to delivery. Every hand off is logged with time stamps, location data, and personnel identification, to guarantee a clear, fully auditable trail.
How quickly can you pick up my delivery?
Once you book your order, we will be at the pick-up location within an hour.
How do I know I can trust A1 Xpress drivers with my confidential materials?
Our drivers are fully licensed, our fleet insured US DOT #3013849. We’ve completed over one million deliveries, including sealed-court documents, privileged attorney-client communications, HIPAA-protected medical records, and sensitive boardroom materials, without fail.
Is it seriously a flat-rate fee?
Yes. Same-day doesn’t automatically equal an exorbitant upcharge. While you might have used services in the past that bill you later for wait times, fuel, or distance—we provide a flat-rate quote that won’t change after delivery.
How will I know my package made it to the right door?
You provide the instructions and we follow them to the T. We’ll send a photo as proof of delivery. Our team is just a call away if you require any further verification.
