Same-city deliveries are always by car and cost less. Going farther? Choose car or plane when you request your quote — travel and lodging are billed at cost, never marked up.

The core difference

From Hand to Hand. Never Out of Sight.

A single, vetted courier maintains physical, unbroken possession of your card from pickup to delivery, anywhere the journey takes us.

Why shipping falls short

Fewer Hands. More Accountability.

Traditional carriers move your card through a network built for millions of packages, changing hands again and again along the way. Custos was built to move one card, hand to hand, without letting go.

How it works

Simple. Secure. Personal.

01

Request

Tell us the card, origin, destination, and timeline.

02

Pickup

Your courier takes personal possession, hand to hand.

03

In Transit

Live tracking, plus direct contact with your courier.

04

Delivery

Handed to the authorized recipient, confirmed on the spot.

Exactly how it works

Every Step, In Plain Sight.

From the moment your courier arrives to the moment your card is in the recipient's hands, here's exactly what happens — and exactly when you'll hear from us.

01

Pickup

  • Your courier verifies ID before accepting the card.
  • The certification number is confirmed against your request.
  • The card is photographed and filmed, documenting its condition.
  • It's sealed into a locked, protective case carried inside an ordinary bag.
  • You receive confirmation the moment pickup is complete.
02

Transit

The case never leaves your courier's hands or sight — in a car, on a plane, or overnight. You'll get a live update at every milestone:

Pickup confirmed
En route
Arrived at the airport
Through security
Wheels up
Wheels down
Through arrivals
En route to delivery
Delivered

Airport milestones apply to flight routes. Ground-only deliveries get pickup, en route, and delivered updates.

Weather or airline delays happen. If they do, your courier stays with the card and you're updated the moment we are — never left guessing. Any extra cost that comes with it, like an overnight hotel, is on us, not you.

03

Delivery

  • Your courier verifies the recipient's ID.
  • The unique verification code set up at booking is confirmed before handoff.
  • The card is photographed and filmed once more, on arrival.
  • It's handed over in person, and you're notified it's complete.
