The Hermes Express is the Olympian's equivalent of a mailing service. It has been mentioned three times (that I can recall) throughout the Percy Jackson and the Olympians/Heroes of Olympus Series.
The Lightning Thief: Percy uses the Hermes Overnight Express to send the head of Medusa back to Mount Olympus after he beheads her in the battle at Aunty Em's Gnome Emporium. Later, he finds the same package in his bedroom marked "Return to Sender," sent back by Poseidon.
The Sea of Monsters: Hermes mentions to Percy that the Overnight Express business is booming, and later Poseidon also uses the service to send Percy a letter of which Hermes delivered himself.
The Demigod Diaries (Percy Jackson and The Staff of Hermes): While Percy is celebrating his one month anniversary with Annabeth, a Hermes Express truck appears on the lawn in front of them. No one else in the area notices it except them and Hermes came out of the truck, asking Percy a favor to find his Caduceus so he could make his deliveries on time. Percy returned the staff and Hermes finishes his deliveries.
