What’s nice about traveling to New York City is that you can get everything delivered. There are couriers everywhere.

Well, there have been many times when I’ve been on the road in a city where I wished I could find a courier.

Surprisingly, it’s not that easy to find one. And if you happen to find one, they usually charge a ridiculous fee.

Well, fast-forward to the Internet age and in steps LicketyShip.com.

This is another Web site that I wish I had thought of! LicketyShip.com’s search engine is brilliant!

Simply enter in the zip codes of your pick-up and drop-off destinations, along with the estimated weight of your package and presto! You’ve got a quote.

I entered in pick-up and drop-off points of Manhattan Beach, California to San Pedro, California and received a quote for $22.49. Not bad considering it’s a 20-mile drive.
