The service will be provided under contract by Henry Industries Courier Networks, a professional courier delivery company with an extensive statewide courier network.

- Courier zipper bags are on order and will be delivered as soon as possible.
- Please keep track of the following information about the numbers of packages that you ship in the following four categories for reporting monthly use statistics:
- Small envelopes or courier bags (11″x14″ or smaller)
- Large envelopes or bags
