Our History: NYC Messenger Service Since 1986

The Story Behind RDS Same Day Delivery

New York City is often referred to as The City of Dreams. But, in 1986, as the city continued to move ahead and grow, local delivery companies were falling behind.

When time was tight, courier companies couldn’t provide both accuracy and speed. Despite everything that the city offered, it lacked a messenger service that thrived in urgent situations.

Specializing in time-critical medical deliveries, the company quickly grew to become NYC’s most trusted delivery company. In a constant race against time, RDS Same Day Delivery continued to win for its customers.

Today, the company maintains the same values that it held years ago. Although the courier industry has changed tremendously, our company continues to adopt the latest technology and practices for our clients’ benefit. Expanding our reach, we now serve a wide range of industries, from retail and fashion to advertising and medical.

Proud to Serve as An Industry Leader

RDS Same Day Delivery is honored to provide not only a service, but an experience. Our expertise, commitment and integrity all work hand in hand to provide a positive experience for our customers and employees.

Over time, RDS Same Day Delivery has become a leader in the messenger industry. Television, radio and cable personalities reach out to our management and staff for professional input, endorsements and industry insight. It has been a privilege to represent our field and remain a courier company that businesses can trust.

RDS has been a fantastic delivery partner in New York and surrounding areas for my video production company. They’ve been very helpful with complex consolidation of airline and FedEx shipments for local delivery. Sofia, Vanessa, and ops team are always responsive and helpful with communication. Will continue to use for all my New York based projects.

Just came upon RDS Same Day Delivery the other day when I urgently needed a package delivered the same day. Their customer service is great; and Sofia is super helpful and responsive! Their service was fast, and the delivery person I met was pleasant. The email alerts include the name & picture of the person who is handling the delivery, and I received notifications when the package was delivered as well. I will definitely be using this service again.
