I am so glad I opened an account with them. I cannot believe how professional they are in comparison to another carrier who I had been using for years. I am so much happier with U.S. Messenger. Clean drivers, on time, great pricing.

I routinely send things between my Highland Park office and my Chicago office. I’ve used every messenger service there is — until I found U.S. Messenger. They’re reliable and detail oriented. I can’t say enough good things. Good value! I love it.

I used U.S. Messenger & Logistics, Inc. for the first time this week. I cannot say enough about their service! My package was in my hands within two hours of calling them. Friendly, polite and efficient. I will use them again, for sure.

It’s great to have U.S. Messenger in our toolbox when STAT requests come across our desk. We used them yesterday and were very impressed with the service and customer service follow up. In my book, they are the top courier company.
John G., Healthcare IndustryChicago, IL
I work with a financial organization with thousands of employees in the metro area. The customer care and satisfaction provided by U.S. Messenger, as well as their reasonable costs, make them my #1 carrier. Their reliability, even during the COVID-19 crisis has been exceptional.
N. ColemanChicago, IL
No other messenger service matches your team. Timely delivery and open communication are critical in the printing industry, and it’s great to know we have a reliable team like yours to lean on. This year on average, your car and bike messengers completed deliveries 30-50% faster than advertised. Thank you for the incredibly efficient and reliable service.
Andy E., Printing IndustryChicago, IL
Since COVID-19, we’ve had some people working from home and others in the office. Despite our team being separated, U.S. Messenger made it feel like we were still connected. It is imperative for our teams to continue to send materials and samples between architects and subcontractors, and this process continued seamlessly with the help of U.S. Messenger. When it felt like everything was changing, they were always there when we needed them!
Cait M., Construction IndustryChicago, IL
I just wanted to say THANK YOU to you and your drivers for braving the elements last night and coming through for us. I know first-hand, we were going to have a problem closing out our Westmont center and it’s extremely important to get the blood products out of there and back to Aurora for processing. And you guys came through. We sincerely appreciate and respect the work you do for us!
