How to Start a Courier & Delivery Business in Jamaica

Online shopping has made courier and delivery one of the fastest-growing businesses in Jamaica. Here's how to start.

1. Register and sort insurance

Register the business, and get vehicle and goods-in-transit cover — you're responsible for what you carry.

2. Pick your zones and pricing

Start with the areas you know. Price clearly by zone or weight so customers know the cost up front — confusion loses jobs.

3. One rider is enough to start

Prove the demand with yourself or one rider before you add bikes and vans.

4. Make it easy to book and track

This is where couriers win or lose. Customers want to request a pickup online and know where their parcel is. A simple booking site and fast WhatsApp replies beat a competitor who only takes calls. (We build courier and delivery sites for exactly this.)
