Well...you are probably not going to throw a hard drive at a client's door and run. A delivery guy might, as it's just another cardboard package, not priceless data (might be easier now with SSDs).

Indeed, getting a trustworthy courier service is so hard that actually sending an in-house employee is worthwhile, even though their hourly rates make this extremely expensive: you are removing tens of abstraction layers, while preserving high degree of control ("Oh, we might have run it over with a truck. And accidentally put it on a plane to New Zealand on hop #3. And they can't seem to find it there.")
