I have been using RDS Delivery Service for a while now, and they are hands down the best delivery service in NYC. Their team is incredibly reliable, professional, and always on time. Communication is a breeze, and they are consistently respectful and courteous. On top of all this, their pricing is fair and competitive. If you're looking for a top-notch delivery service in New York City, I highly recommend RDS Delivery Service!

Dominique Caputo from RDS helped me pick up today. He was patient and professional even though the front desk at the pick up location went out of their way to be unhelpful and extremely rude. Dominique kept cool and collected. RDS is an amazing service and we have used them for over 10 years now. They just keep getting better.

This is probably the third or fourth time that Phillip has come to my office for pickups/deliveries. He is just the most kind, gentle man. He is always very professional and very sweet.

My first experience with RDS was this week and I am very happy that I hired them to help me with my business’s logistics. Sofia and Karen in the office, as well as all others involved, gave the best customer service with quick replies, patient with all of my questions, and excellent coordination of my round trip deliveries and pick ups. They also provided an insurance certificate so that they could deliver directly to my client’s office on the 34th floor, taking a ton of labor and stress off of my shoulders, literally. I would love to work with RDS again.

RDS is the most efficient messenger service I have used. I have been using various different services in NYC for the last 20 years. I found RDS in 2021 and have been a loyal customer since. By far, RDS is the best. My pick ups are timely and there is never a mistake. Dealing with the company is painless as they are all very nice, professional. They are always quick to respond and set up my deliveries as my business depends on it.

Will never use another courier or messenger service in NYC. It took me 7 minutes with Joselyn to place a same day rush pick up. Professional, knowledgeable, efficient, reasonable pricing and exceptional customer service. I highly recommend!

Joe Doyle

1695876687

I tried for several months to find a company that would handle my delivery needs and was about to give up when i chanced upon Karen Bracamontes of RDS Delivery Service.Karen is an amazing professional. She is focused on finding a way to accomplish what her customers want. Others take the easy path and say "we can't do that".My need was to have 18 suitcases picked-up at an active military base then delivered to a hotel in Manhattan. sounds simple, but lots of other companies said "we can't do that".I've managed thousands of customer service colleagues in my career and recognize a great one when i see them. Karen is a great one and a testament to the culture at RDS.Sincerely,Joe Doyle
