Red Runner

Red Runner courier service can pick up, drop off, or deliver just about anything on campus and throughout the area. Along with package deliveries, Red Runner supplies transportation to internal and external VIP.

Most packages are delivered a short time after pickup, however, to meet the needs of customers requiring faster delivery, we offer Red Sprinter Rush Services. Rush (guaranteed delivery within three hours) and Super Rush (guaranteed delivery in one hour) are available upon request.

All package deliveries can be confirmed by e-mail at no charge, and Signature Service (confirmation showing date, time, and the signature of the designated recipient) is available for a fee.
