San Jose and Silicon Valley Courier Service
Same-day courier, white glove delivery, laboratory transport and freight across San Jose and the South Bay. Campus dock appointments, hardware and prototype moves, SJC air cargo runs and lab routes, dispatched 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
How San Jose actually runs
Most San Jose deliveries fail at the dock, not on the road. Corporate campuses in North San Jose, Santa Clara and along the 237 corridor run appointment based receiving, badge controlled entrances and shipping departments that close hours before the building does. A driver who arrives without an appointment reference is turned away, and the job becomes a second job. We book the slot and carry the reference.
The freight itself is unusual. A large share of what moves here is high value and physically fragile at the same time: prototype hardware, test equipment, server and network gear, lab instruments. Value per pallet in the South Bay routinely exceeds what a standard courier carries insurance for. Our cargo liability is $1,000,000, and we will confirm coverage against your declared value before the pickup rather than after a claim.
Traffic here is directional and predictable, which helps. The 101 and 880 north in the morning and south in the evening are where the time goes, and the 280 is usually the better trade even with the extra miles. The exception is any run touching the 237 or the Dumbarton in the afternoon, which is worth avoiding entirely if the delivery window allows.
The life sciences side of San Jose and Santa Clara is growing faster than the courier market serving it. Specimen and reagent moves out of North San Jose and Milpitas labs need real temperature control and real chain of custody, not a cooler and a signature. We run validated refrigerated units and document the handoff at every leg.

What we carry most in the South Bay
Frequently asked questions
Can you deliver into a corporate campus with appointment receiving?
Yes, and it is routine for us. Most South Bay campuses control the window and the badge list through their shipping department. Give us the appointment reference or let us book it, and the driver arrives inside the window with the paperwork the dock expects.
How fast is a STAT pickup in San Jose?
Ninety minutes from the call to the delivery inside the San Jose core. Out to Palo Alto, Fremont or Gilroy, add drive time. Dispatch quotes the real number on the phone rather than a hopeful window.
What is your cargo insurance limit for high value equipment?
$1,000,000 cargo liability, on top of $1,000,000 auto liability, $1,000,000 general liability with a $2,000,000 aggregate and $1,000,000 workers compensation. Declare the value before pickup and we will confirm coverage in writing rather than leaving it to a claim.
Do you handle confidential or unreleased hardware?
Yes. Those moves run direct, without consolidation, with one driver from pickup to delivery and no intermediate handling. We sign customer nondisclosure agreements when the shipper requires one.
Can you do inside delivery and uncrating?
Yes. Two person white glove crews handle inside placement, uncrating, positioning and debris removal. Tell us the floor, the door width and whether the freight elevator needs booking, and we will handle the booking.
Do you run to San Jose airport for air cargo?
Yes. Our drivers hold TSA Security Threat Assessment clearance, which is the driver level requirement for handling airline cargo. We are not an Indirect Air Carrier and we do not hold Known Shipper status, so a shipment needing an IAC tender needs an IAC.
Can you transport laboratory specimens under temperature control?
Yes. Validated refrigerated units from minus 20F to plus 65F, with $100,000 refrigeration breakdown coverage. Ambient, refrigerated and frozen are handled separately, so tell dispatch which the sample needs.
Do you offer a dedicated vehicle rather than a shared route?
Yes. Dedicated fleet means a vehicle and driver assigned to your operation, which is what most shippers with daily campus or lab moves end up on. It prices per period rather than per delivery.
