A courier in Guadalupe is called because of the road, not the postcode. Aguascalientes International is 138 km away and reaches 11 airports nonstop, so a consignment that has to leave Zacatecas today has a real chance of leaving today. The desk works the list by drive time, and yours is 1 hour 59 minutes.
On Board Courier, Guadalupe
A courier list for Guadalupe and the Zacatecas area. Your departure gate is AGU, 138 km by road, and every ticket on it is bought by the desk rather than by you.
OnBoard Courier is a United Arab Emirates company, contracted by ICSL FZE and run from Dubai. A city named on this site is a place we cover and route through, not a separate company in that city. Assignments are contracted under UAE law, and the terms are published in full under legal and policies.
What the work pays
The fee for an assignment is agreed with you in writing before you accept it. These are the figures the site publishes, and what the desk covers on top of them.
Fees vary with the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate, so the desk quotes each assignment individually rather than pretending one number fits every trip. You are self-employed and there is no minimum: accept or decline whatever you like, and declining costs you nothing. Earnings are paid per delivery by bank transfer, they appear in your courier portal, and you can request a payout once the balance reaches AED 200. Apply and see the flight board.
How to start, in four steps
Apply once
One application covers every country desk. Tell us which passports you hold and where you can travel.
Verification and the Academy
Identity and background check, then a short course on customs, handovers and chain of custody.
Your first offer
The desk sends the routing, the dates and the fee in writing. You accept or decline, nothing is automatic.
Fly, hand over, get paid
Collect, board, clear customs in person, hand over against signature, and the fee is paid to your account.
The assignment
The shape of a trip out of Guadalupe is short and defined. Collection, 1 hour 59 minutes on the road, check in at Aguascalientes International, and a seat you did not pay for. Where the routing runs through the Emirates it goes by way of IAH, on one ticket, with the connection booked long enough to be real. You do not open the consignment, you do not check it into the hold, and you do not leave it anywhere.
Getting to the aircraft from Guadalupe
1 hour 59 minutes is the drive from Guadalupe to AGU, 138 km by road. It is the single most useful fact on this page, because it decides which departures from AGU you can realistically be offered.
At 138 km the drive is the part most likely to go wrong, so the desk over allows for it: an earlier start from Guadalupe, or a hotel by AGU the night before, paid by us. The desk will send you to SLP when the routing is better from there. It is 2 hours 59 minutes from Guadalupe and carries 11 nonstop destinations, and the offer always names the airport before you accept.
| IATA | Airport | By road | Driving time | Nonstop |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AGU | Aguascalientes International | 138 km | 1 hour 59 minutes | 11 |
| SLP | San Luis Potosí Ponciano Arriaga | 190 km | 2 hours 59 minutes | 11 |
| BJX | Silao Del Bajío | 259 km | 3 hours 20 minutes | 21 |
Guadalupe is a city of 170,000 people in Zacatecas, and the clock there runs 10 hours behind the Emirates all year. Road distances are measured driving routes rather than straight lines, and nonstop counts come from the scheduled route data this site publishes. Only airports this site publishes a scheduled nonstop board for are listed, so a smaller field nearer Guadalupe may exist and still not appear in the table above.
What AGU reaches without a change
From AGU a consignment can be in 11 other airports without touching a second aircraft. 2 countries are covered, and the heaviest routes are these.

What moves out of Guadalupe
No industrial register exists here for Guadalupe and none is going to be improvised. Hand carry demand in a city of 170,000 people is the ordinary kind, driven by a clock rather than by any single factory.
Why a courier in Guadalupe is useful to the desk
The value of a Guadalupe address is timing. When a consignment has to leave Zacatecas today, the desk needs a name that is 1 hour 59 minutes from a working gate, not a name in the nearest capital who is four hours away in traffic.
AGU does not fly to the Emirates directly. From Guadalupe the best single change is Houston (IAH), and IAH to DXB is flown by Emirates, about one departure a day. Counting a normal connection that is around 19h 22m gate to gate, so an assignment between Guadalupe and the Emirates is planned as a connecting itinerary and the desk books the whole thing on one ticket.

The engagement, and who we are looking for
The engagement
- Type: freelance, self-employed. You are an independent courier accepting individual assignments, not an employee, and you decide which ones you take.
- Where it runs: assignments are flown out of AGU and the other airports listed above, between Mexico and wherever the consignment is going, with the return leg agreed per mission.
- Hours: variable. An assignment is a single trip, not a shift or a roster.
- How you are paid: a fee per completed assignment, agreed in writing before you accept it. The fees published on this site run from AED 1,200 for a document pouch to AED 2,000 for a cooled medical consignment, and the figure for your assignment reflects the lane, the notice, the waiting time and whether the return is immediate.
- What the desk pays: the flight, the transfers and, where the routing needs it, the hotel. A courier never pays for the ticket and never fronts the fare.
- Applying is free. No payment is required to apply, to be screened or to be placed on the courier list. The Academy costs AED 199, paid once, and is returned in full on top of the fee for your first completed assignment. It is the only payment a courier ever makes to us.
What we look for
- A passport with comfortable remaining validity and free pages, and the right to enter the country on the routing. The desk checks the visa position for your specific passport before any assignment is offered.
- A clean background check and a willingness to be verified. Couriers carry other people’s property.
- Availability at short notice, and a realistic view of the 1 hour 59 minutes drive to AGU. Most assignments are confirmed hours, not days, before departure.
- Presentable, calm and articulate at a customs counter. The consignment is only as smooth as the person carrying it.
- A working phone, reachable on the number you gave us, for the whole assignment.
What we provide
- The ticket. Always. A courier never pays for the flight and never fronts the fare.
- The paperwork, prepared before you reach AGU, and a named contact at the desk on both ends.
- A briefing on the consignment, the consignee and what the customs position at the far end looks like.
- A fee per completed assignment, agreed with you in advance and paid by bank transfer after the handover.
