** ''Manga/CellsAtWork'' entirely revolves around a large city, representing a body, filled with workers, all representing different cells. The main characters are a [[CuteClumsyGirl clumsy Red Blood Cell]], one of the many responsible for delivering nutrients and oxygen around the body as {{courier}}s, and a [[SeekerWhiteBloodCells White Blood Cell]], who works alongside a team of ruthless assassins that target and [[{{Gorn}} (quite violently)]] kill pathogens infecting the body. -- '''An excerpt of a longer example'''
# HandsomeLech: Alec/X5-494 on '''Series/DarkAngel''', is attractive (he's Creator/JensenAckles) and flirty but isn't seen to have much success. Asha is hung up on Logan, Mia is manipulating him to help her boyfriend and bring down a mob boss, and it's a matter of fan interpretation whether he's interested in Max that way. One time we see that he has been dating two of his '''[[{{Courier}} Jam Pony]]''' co-workers at the same time, they found out about it and quit.
# MailAndDeliveryTropes: Mercantile message/cargo delivery person.
# ObviousCrossoverMethod: '''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''': The Big Mountain Transportalponder from [[DownloadableContent Old World Blues]] malfunctioning because the Think Tank from Big MT are incompetent seems to be a popular option to get the {{Courier}} into whatever universe you want him/her to be.
# SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: '''VideoGame/DeathStranding''': [[PlayerCharacter Sam]] and [[HeroWithBadPublicity Fragile]]. Sam is more stoic, withdrawn, and pragmatic about his job as a [[{{Courier}} porter]] due to being essentially a normal man with no supernatural abilities that let him traverse the terrain more easily. Fragile is more energetic and preppy, and enjoys [[TheGadfly pushing Sam's buttons]] from time to time. She can also [[WarpWhistle teleport]], which adds to her more energetic image, allowing her to zip around and deliver her cargo much faster and with less physical effort than Sam.

# DeliveryGuy: If you thought this was about some other type of delivery guy, you should look up the guy who visited nine months prior under PizzaBoySpecialDelivery or {{Courier}} if the deliveries typically arrive in boxes and aren't infants.

# SpyShip: '''Literature/HonorHarrington''' presented many variations on this: Fast [[{{Courier}} Courier Boats]], either [[DiplomaticImpunity operating in an official diplomatic capacity]] or simply under the employ of a merchant or journalist agency that would have legitimate need to send messages quickly. -- '''Misuse since the trope is about a character, not an inanimate object'''
# UnstoppableMailman: See also: {{Courier}}.
# VenturousSmuggler: May also overlap with {{Courier}}.

Added DiffLines:
This wick check will examine the tropeworthiness of {{Courier}}, which is highly suspected to be about nothing but "a mercantile mailman/woman, delivering messages through cities and towns on foot or other single-person conveyance," which is chairs.
