Do You Charge Extra for Courier Coordination?

What the $15 Courier Coordination Fee Covers

The coordination fee applies when you choose upgraded courier services such as overnight, 2‑day, or international delivery for your apostilled documents. It is not a markup on postage; it is a separate service charge for managing the logistics on your behalf.

• Preparing the packet: Packaging your apostille securely and labeling the envelope with the correct recipient details.
• Creating or applying labels: Using a label Lake Mead Mobile Notary generates or a prepaid label you provide.
• Arranging pickup or drop‑off: Coordinating with the carrier so the shipment enters the network on time.
• Sharing tracking updates: Providing the tracking number and basic delivery expectations to you or your designated contact.

Using Your Own Courier Account or Label

If you prefer to use your own FedEx, UPS, DHL, or similar account, you can supply a prepaid label and still request coordination. In that case, the carrier charges you directly, and the $15 fee only covers the handling and logistics work.

• You provide the label: Lake Mead Mobile Notary applies it, prepares the packet, and arranges the handoff to the carrier.
• Carrier bills you: Shipping charges go to your account, not added to your apostille invoice.
• Coordination still included: The $15 fee covers packaging, label handling, and basic tracking support.

Seeing Courier Coordination on Your Quote

Courier coordination appears as its own line item so you can distinguish between professional handling and the carrier’s base rate. You will see:

• The carrier and service level: For example, overnight, 2‑day, or international express.
• Estimated carrier cost: Based on destination, weight, and speed.
• Courier coordination fee: A flat $15 per managed shipment.

This breakdown makes it easy to compare standard shipping against expedited courier options and decide whether the extra speed and coordination are worth the added cost for your situation.
