No Questions Couriers

Concept Having spent the past few seasons running around Sunberth delivering packages and letters, it was out of laziness that Shakune started toying with the idea of opening her own courier service. The general population of Sunberth is questionable at best, downright criminal at worse, but that's not to say they don't have things to send and receive. Thus, 'No Questions Couriers' was born, and the idea is simple: A customer visits the store, gives Shakune a package or letter to deliver, and the name of it's recipient. The cost of this service depends on the size of the goods and how quickly the customer would like them delivered. To ensure an honest service and honest patrons, all customers are required to sign a document to confirm that have sent a package at the agreed price. In turn, the recipient also signs the document to confirm they received their goods.
Customers may pay the delivery charges in full upfront, or half prior to delivery and half afterwards. Note that this option results in an additional charge of 1GM paid to Shakune prior to delivery as insurance that the customer will pay the second half.
Finally, the 'No Questions' part of the business ensures Shakune's customers that she withholds all judgement regarding what they want delivering, or to whom.

Business Type - Service
Items Sold - The charges of No Questions Couriers depends on two things: the size of the parcel and how quickly a sender would like their goods delivered.
As such:

Parcel type & size	Within Sunberth, 1-2 days	Within Sunberth, 3-5 days
Letter, single or two pages	1GM	50SM
Package, small (<1.5kg)	2GM	1GM

Package, large (2.51-3.5kg)	4GM	3GM

It is hoped that one day, No Questions Couriers will be able to expand it's services to other cities. Until then, and until Shakune finds herself an assistant courier, the business will focus on delivering internally to Sunberth only.
