Service Details

When delivery needs to happen fast but flexibility is still an option, our Expedited service delivers with typical turnaround between three to six hours from the time your order is placed. It’s often used in areas outside our core Critical zones, providing an excellent regional solution with high reliability.

As soon as your shipment is entered into our system, it’s routed to a regional team dedicated to your service area. They assign the most appropriate driver, manage the entire process, and communicate any issues directly—keeping you informed from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to the most common shipping and delivery questions.

  • What is your fastest delivery service?

    For local shipments, our fastest option is White Glove courier service. We guarantee delivery within 2 hours for up to 50 miles. For longer distances, we continue to offer same-day service by adding 1.6 minutes per mile between 50 and 100 miles, and 1 minute per mile beyond that. Our courier fleet includes everything from cars and cargo vans up to 26-foot bobtails and flatbeds, depending on the size and nature of the shipment.

    For urgent long-distance deliveries, our Next Flight Out service uses the next available commercial flight, with same-day pickup and delivery on both ends. This service is ideal for shipments up to 70 pounds and no larger than 90 inches total (length + width + height), with no one side exceeding 48 inches. Exceptions may be possible depending on the airline.

    For larger dock-to-dock freight moves, our freight brokerage division can typically dispatch a truck within 2 to 4 hours and go direct to destination using 48' or 53' trailers.

  • Does Jet Delivery operate beyond California?

    Jet Delivery was founded in Los Angeles in 1950 and built its reputation by serving businesses throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. While those remain key markets for us, we’ve since expanded into a multi-region logistics provider supporting customers across the U.S. Today, we offer courier delivery, freight brokerage, and warehousing nationwide—backed by dedicated teams, proven drivers, and real-time technology. Whether it’s a local job in Southern California or a time-critical delivery across the country, we’re built to deliver with speed, reliability, and care.

  • What’s the easiest way to track my delivery?

    You can track shipments in real time through our mobile-friendly website or by using the Jet Delivery app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. You’ll also receive automatic updates by SMS or email as your shipment progresses. For businesses that need deeper visibility, we offer integration options—our systems can talk directly to yours via API, making it easy to quote, book, and track without ever leaving your platform.

  • Is my package insured?

    Yes. Every shipment includes limited liability coverage up to $100 at no additional cost. If you're shipping high-value items, you can request additional coverage at the time of booking for an added charge. Jet Delivery also maintains broader insurance policies to protect our operations and customers, including cargo insurance up to $300,000 and umbrella liability coverage of $4 million. For high-value, regulated, or complex shipments, we recommend discussing insurance needs with your sales representative. You can also review our terms of service for full details.

  • Can I be notified at each stage of my shipment?

    Yes. Jet Delivery provides real-time notifications throughout every key stage of your shipment—from pickup confirmation to in-transit updates, delays (if any), and final delivery. Notifications can be sent by email or SMS, and include important details like time stamps, signatures, and any special handling notes. For high-volume or recurring shipments, we also offer customizable reporting and system integrations through our Shipment Status Notification tools.
