Charming Courier
Overview

Charming Courier is a Battle.net Shop mount shaped like an owl with an icy blue color scheme. This mount blends the features of an owl and a dragon: scales, spikes, horns, and slit pupils — all hallmarks of the creatures of the Dragon Isles. The mount was added in patch 10.2.7 and was originally offered as a bonus for signing up for a 6-month World of Warcraft subscription.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these charming couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
The mount's description references the unofficial motto of the United States Postal Service (USPS), which adds an extra bit of charm.

Mount Source
The Charming Courier is a mount from the Battle.net Shop. It can be obtained in two ways:
Method 1: Purchase from the Battle.net Shop
The mount is available for purchase in the Battle.net Shop for $25 / €25.
Method 2: Subscription Bonus (Limited Time)
The mount was also offered for free as part of promotions:
| Promotion | Period |
|---|---|
| 6-month subscription | July 9, 2024 — January 14, 2025 |
| 12-month subscription | until July 15, 2025 |
Players who already had an active 6-month or 12-month subscription with a future renewal date received the mount automatically no later than July 23, 2024.
Important: the subscription promotion has ended. At this point, the only way to get the Charming Courier is to purchase it from the Battle.net Shop.

Skyriding
The Charming Courier fully supports the Skyriding system introduced in Dragonflight and expanded in The War Within. You can:

Note: The Charming Courier cannot take part in Skyriding races — upon entering a race zone, you will automatically be switched to a standard racing mount.
Tips and Tricks
- Wait for a discount. Shop mounts occasionally go on sale during Battle.net promotions. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for a sale and save some money.
- Gift to a friend. The mount can be purchased as a gift for another player through the Battle.net Shop — a great option for a surprise.
- Check your subscription. If you signed up for a 6-month or 12-month subscription during the promotional period (before January 2025), check your Mount Journal — the mount may have been granted automatically.
- In-game shop. You can also buy the mount without leaving the game, through the in-game shop (the "Shop" button in the main menu).
- Owlet. If you received the mount through a 6-month subscription, don't forget to check for the Owlet pet on your WoW Classic characters — it should be in your battle pet collection.
