"Quick Post" was a fast-delivery mail and message system in the Shire, more than likely a branch of the Messenger Service.
History
Before War of the Ring, Quick Post was the most common method for the Hobbits of the Shire to mail their letters. Later when Lotho controlled the Shire near the end of the War of the Ring [1], the Quick Post was used solely for his own personal purposes, for example, like the urgent message of arresting Frodo and company.
