# Courier Transport Courier transport is the standard transport method for smaller shipments. It is usually used for shipments up to around 30 kg and is common across B2C, D2C, and smaller B2B orders.
### What courier transport means Courier transport is the parcel-based method used when shipments are small enough and light enough to move efficiently through courier networks. It is often the right fit when speed, flexibility, and parcel handling are more appropriate than pallet movement. ### How it works in practice Goods are packed into courier-ready parcels and handed over to the selected courier. Depending on the service and market, courier transport often includes tracking visibility and recipient-facing coordination options. ### What makes courier transport useful Courier transport is useful because it is well suited to smaller shipments and offers a practical way to move goods quickly through parcel networks. It is especially relevant when the shipment does not justify pallet movement and when parcel handling is the most efficient transport format. ### How Lexir enables it Lexir works with couriers defined for each market and uses the option that best fits the weight, destination, and shipment type. ### Why it matters Courier transport matters because it supports a large share of smaller outbound shipments across consumer and smaller business delivery flows. ### Courier Transport with Lexir Courier transport with Lexir means routing parcel-sized shipments through the courier network best suited to the weight, destination, and transport context. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
