Exactly.
I'm quite familiar with how couriers work as I use them.
Any ol' person can also hand deliver package, of course. If you asked me to deliver some files, I could do that for you (I'm not offering the service, though I know a guy, lol!).
All we know about the CNN package is that is seems to have been hand delivered by some courier, not delivered by the post office.
Other pkgs, though, were sent through post office? Do we know that for sure?

Right. It sounds like we're saying essentially the same thing, then.
At least one package had the wrong address and was "returned to sender" to Schultz' address in Florida. Another was stopped at a mail center in LA.
I'm not sure if they were all sent via USPS. I'm reading through reports and can't find a definite answer, so LE might not have confirmed either way just yet.
They all appear to be
stamped for USPS, but, realistically, could have been sent by FedEx or something else. I tend to believe they were dropped in the post with the intention of them getting to one of two destinations — the addressee or the false "return" address.
That way, there's interaction with commercial delivery services like FedEx, etc.
I've had mail sent to me that wasn't delivered to my address. I got a message from the post office that it had insufficient postage — I had to pay the balance in order to free it from postal jail. It wasn't returned to the sender. That's why I think it's
plausible that CNN might hire a courier to pick up something addressed to someone like Brennan at the CNN address.
I do wonder if it was a well-known courier company, or basically some dude on the equivalent of a bicycle or whatever who walked in with the package and claimed to be a courier.
Hopefully the CC video will shed some light on those questions. Hopefully, there's enough evidence on/in those packages to catch the perpetrator and soon.
