Courier costs for orders placed through a partner office
A courier charge is not determined solely by where an order is placed. It depends on the route, any originals and the chosen collection method, so it is confirmed in the specific quotation before work begins.

Placing an order at a partner office does not automatically make every courier movement free of charge. Some orders require no delivery, while others involve moving originals, certified copies or completed documents. Before the order is accepted, La Fit Trans clarifies what must be sent, between which points and which collection method is convenient for the customer.
## Is a courier charge always added?
No. If documents are handed in and collected at the agreed office, or the result can be supplied electronically, a separate delivery may not be needed. When physical shipment is part of the order, any cost is confirmed in advance for the actual route and consignment.
## What determines the courier cost?
The starting point, destination, number and format of documents, originals, required speed and any visit to an external authority all matter. Delivery to an address, return of originals and transport within an administrative procedure are different actions and are assessed separately.
## What will the quotation show?
The quotation separates translation, certification or administrative preparation from the handover and collection method. If a paid courier service is planned, its applicable route and conditions are stated with it. This lets the customer understand the agreed price before the work starts.
## Does using a partner office always require shipment?
No. The office can serve as the point for enquiry, handover or collection, while part of the work is coordinated without any extra action by the customer. A courier shipment is planned only when the document, procedure or chosen collection method requires it.
## What happens when an original is required?
The team first confirms whether the original must be presented, where it will be used and how it should be returned safely. Customers do not send a valuable document before receiving specific instructions. The quotation includes a suitable handover, tracking and collection method for the case.
## Can I choose how to receive the documents?
Where the service format allows, you can choose collection from an agreed office, delivery or electronic transfer. If a certified copy or original must remain on paper, the team will present the applicable options and confirm the cost of the preferred method.
## What should I send for an accurate quotation?
Customers send legible images of every page and state the languages, country and receiving institution, required date, available originals and preferred collection method. An address is added only when delivery is requested. This lets translation, certifications, administrative work and courier service be priced clearly.
## Can I start the order online?
Yes. The initial assessment can begin with files and a description of the case through the online order form. You will be told whether an original, office visit or delivery is required and how this affects price and timing, so you can choose before handing over the documents.
