In the United States, People including online retailers such as Apple.com Amazon.com, always use "carrier" when mentioning companies that deliver items to customers or take returned items back to the retailers.
I think that courier is spoken only in England.
Courier in Australia too. Carrier is a telco provider.
Koerier in Dutch. Kurier in German.
American English is reformed English so is the most unique around the world.

Apple Store UK also uses "carrier"
T-mobile, At&t, Verizon, and Sprint are called "Wireless Carriers". It is easy to understand.http://store.apple.com/uk/help/rma_stepbystep

Well, I'm glad they did replace it and give you a free case/cover, but I would have sent it back via the carrier and then bought a new one at the store (and checked it out before I left the store).
PITA, I know, but I bought one and then turned around and replaced it in-store because it suffered from the screen distortion just by holding it. Then I gave up because that was my second iPad Air 2.

Quality control...
Best Buy had $100 off 128GB iPad Air 2. I added 10 percent movers coupon. $160.00 straight off the top, $539.99 for 128GB Wi-Fi Air 2. Sweet.
Got home, noticed 3 scratches on the back, as much as 2 inches long. One deeper than the others.
I took it back to Best Buy. At first didn't really believe me, thought I might have done it, but it was still quick. Manager said that did not look like damage I did, no obviously it wasn't, I never even turned it on. They said I could exchange for a brand new one. Overall, pretty nice about it.
Manager said I should open in store, I said, I enjoy opening at home, he said ok and I could return again if I had to.
I went ahead and opened in store, it had no scratches, but a couple nicks in the space gray back. Manager approved return for refund.
Well, I guess $539.99 was too good to be true for a 128GB Air 2.
I won't ever get that deal again, I was also getting 12 months 0 APR on my Best Buy Card. I felt good about the purchase, a shame I had to get the first flawed one in particular.

That's BS. Tell them if you buy a Surface Pro 3 from Microsoft Store online you can exchange it at any Microsoft retail store.

Good to hear. My iPad 4 that I bought in 2012 had a small scratch on the back that buffed out 99% so I kept it, has been otherwise flawless. I didn't want to risk swapping it for another one and risk having a different problem. My iPad 3 had a bezel that would click/move against the chassis when you gripped it firmly. I feel their quality control isn't what it used to be.
