The Courier system is separate from the Marketplace but could be linked with it at key points.

Lets try to establish what the Courier system is apart from the Marketplace then we can integrate it with a Marketplace. Couriers Contracts can be posted for someone to move goods that a player owns from one claim to another, not just from Marketplace to Customer.

It's true the system can be very simple, but we need to consider the possibility of players wanting to abuse the system or use it in a way that causes other players grief and make sure we reduce the chances for or remove that possibility.

If a player has accepted a Courier Contract and already picked up the item, the Courier has the item within the Sealed Package, we don't want Customers griefing Couriers by picking up a package when the Courier is already making the effort to deliver it. If you were a Courier you would not appreciate traveling a huge distance to find out just before arriving, that your journey was meaningless because the Customer just picked up the item you're supposedly carrying.
