If someone interested they can create a platform which allows people to interact in that way but this is not a profitable business so no one is going to do this. But there are services exist which is something like food delivery, we also can avail them to pick any package from nearby places.

I think making it a community driven project, either run by miners charging fees, or some other concensus, would make more sense, or building it on ethereum/another ecosystem and charging fees.

In terms of other services out there, they require drivers to be vetted before the are eligible to deliver food/packages, and users have to provide their phone number and email, which eliminates the focus on privacy I would be aiming for, and means not just anyone can sign up and become a courier.

Also, similar to the issue with most banks, delivery systems in developing countries are much slower on average and many people don't have access to those types of companies, partially because those companies are focused on making a profit/branding etc and can't operate in a truly decentralised manner because of their business models.

I don't know why we need miners or nodes for the courier service, huh?

Bank involves money so everyone interested in building a crypto project on their own but courier is more a business which needs profits but when we make it as community driven then nobody is going to make anything right?

It doesn't necessarily need to be a PoW system, but if it is not autonomous it could run into the same problems Uber has had, getting sued for not treating their contractors as employees, and as a result Uber has had to let a lot of "employees" go.
