Overnight Delivery for Large Distributions

May 7, 2026

We updated how we deliver large distribution checks to improve speed, reliability and overall delivery consistency. As of March 2026, distribution checks of $1 million or more will be sent using FedEx Overnight delivery, free of charge. This change helps support the secure and timely handling of high-value transactions.

Here’s what this change means for you and your clients. Overnight delivery reduces transit time and helps minimize delays that can occur with standard mail. As a result, you and your clients can expect more consistent processing and improved reliability for these transactions.
