DFS Courier · Firm to firm
Interoffice and Firm-to-Firm Legal Deliveries
DFS Courier transports legal materials between law firms, between a firm's own offices, and to court reporters or co-counsel, with each pickup and drop-off recorded.
Materials that change hands between counsel
Original settlement documents with wet signatures, certified deposition transcripts and discovery productions on drives or in boxes all travel between firms during a case.
Each handoff is a point where something can be misplaced. A recorded handoff tells both sides when the materials moved and who accepted them.
How firm deliveries run
- Package and labelThe sending firm seals and labels the materials and names the recipient.
- Pickup recordedThe DFS agent notes the pickup time and who released the package.
- Delivery recordedThe agent delivers and records who accepted it, and DFS sends the confirmation.

Questions about law firm deliveries
Can I get a signature from the receiving firm?
Ask for it in your request. The agent records who accepted the delivery, and DFS can note a recipient signature when one is provided.
Can DFS index the discovery before delivering it?
Organizing and indexing discovery is a separate legal support service. See DFS discovery support if you need more than transport.
Do you handle recurring runs between our offices?
Yes. Contact DFS to set up a regular schedule, priced per county under the Filing/Courier tier.
