Chapter 663: Nova Express Announcement
📢 Official Announcement
Nova Technologies is proud to introduce Nova Express.
Available now.
NOVA EXPRESS
What It Is
Nova Express is a global autonomous delivery network operating across every country on Earth.
It delivers anything, to anyone, anywhere on Earth, in minutes.
Nova Express operates no ground vehicles. Every delivery is airborne. Every vehicle is fully autonomous. There are no human pilots, no human handlers, and no human intermediaries between the moment an order is placed and the moment it arrives.
Nova Express serves four distinct use cases. Lucid Market order fulfillment. Personal shipping between individuals. Commercial business shipping. Heavy freight.
How It Works
Nova Express operates three delivery tiers based on shipment scale.
Consumer Delivery
For individual packages, personal shipments, and consumer purchases. Handled by Nova Express autonomous delivery drones. Packages are collected from the sender’s confirmed address and delivered directly to the recipient’s confirmed delivery address. No drop-off points. No collection hubs. Door to door.
Commercial Delivery
For businesses shipping to customers or other businesses at volume. Handled by Nova Express autonomous cargo aircraft. Scheduled pickup from registered business addresses. Real-time tracking through LucidNet from collection to delivery.
Heavy Freight
For industrial scale shipments. Equipment, raw materials, large commercial cargo. Handled by Nova Express autonomous spacecraft. No weight or dimension limit applies at this tier beyond what physically fits within a cargo hold. If it ships, Nova Express moves it.
Delivery Windows
Domestic — within the same country. Delivery within minutes to under one hour depending on distance and package volume.
Regional — within the same continent. Delivery within one hour.
International — intercontinental. Delivery within minutes to a few hours maximum depending on origin and destination.
These windows apply from the moment of collection at the sender’s address to delivery at the recipient’s confirmed address. Nova Express does not operate estimated windows. The delivery window is the actual window.
Package Specifications
Consumer Delivery
Maximum weight — 30kg per package.
Maximum dimensions — 150cm on any single side.
Packages exceeding these specifications at the consumer tier must be shipped through the Commercial Delivery tier.
Commercial Delivery
Maximum weight — 500kg per shipment unit.
Packages or shipment units exceeding this specification must be shipped through the Heavy Freight tier.
Heavy Freight
No weight limit. No dimension limit beyond physical cargo hold capacity.
Personal Shipping
Lucid device users may use Nova Express to send packages to any individual anywhere on Earth outside of any commercial or Lucid Market context.
Personal shipping covers any individual-to-individual delivery. Sending a gift to a family member. Shipping personal belongings. Delivering documents. Any non-commercial package a Lucid device user wishes to send to another person.
Sender Requirements
The sender must be a verified Lucid device user. Device registration serves as full identity verification. No additional documentation is required beyond device registration.
Personal shipping is accessible directly through the Lucid device dashboard. It is not available through LucidNet on standard devices.
Recipient Requirements
The recipient does not need to be a LucidNet user or a Lucid device holder. The recipient requires only a confirmed physical delivery address. Nova Express delivers to any confirmed physical address on Earth.
Pricing
Personal shipments follow the same consumer delivery pricing as all other consumer tier shipments. Rates are calculated based on package weight and destination tier at the point of shipment.
The same package specifications, prohibited items, scanning requirements, insurance coverage, and delivery windows that apply to all consumer tier shipments apply to personal shipments without exception.
Lucid Market Integration
Nova Express is the exclusive delivery partner for all Lucid Market transactions. Delivery fees for Lucid Market orders are calculated automatically at checkout using Nova Express rates. Sellers cannot select an alternative delivery provider for Lucid Market orders.
For shipments outside Lucid Market, Nova Express is available independently to any registered LucidNet user for commercial shipping and to verified Lucid device users for personal shipping.

Eligibility requires a verified LucidNet institutional account. Businesses and corporations that have completed LucidNet’s Institutional Verification process may activate a Nova Express Business Account directly through their LucidNet dashboard. No additional documentation is required.
Unverified businesses must complete Institutional Verification before applying for a Nova Express Business Account.
Insurance
Every package shipped through Nova Express is automatically insured at full declared value up to $10,000. Insurance is included in the delivery fee at no additional cost.
For packages with a declared value above $10,000, additional coverage is available at 0.5% of the declared value above the $10,000 threshold. Additional coverage is selected at the point of shipment.
Declared value must accurately reflect the actual value of the contents. False declaration of value in either direction will result in account suspension and forfeiture of insurance coverage on the affected shipment.
Claims
Insurance claims for lost or damaged packages are submitted through the Nova Express claims portal on LucidNet. Claims are reviewed and resolved within 48 hours of submission. Valid claims are paid within 24 hours of resolution.
A claim is valid when the package does not arrive within the confirmed delivery window or arrives with documented damage. Photographic evidence of damage is required at the time of delivery for damage claims to be processed.
Prohibited Shipments
The following may not be shipped through Nova Express under any circumstances:
— Weapons, firearms, ammunition, and weapon components
— Controlled substances and pharmaceuticals without verified authorization
— Explosive materials and components
— Live animals
— Human tissue, organs, or biological material
— Counterfeit goods of any kind
— Stolen goods
— Hazardous materials that pose risk to Nova Express infrastructure or surrounding areas during transit
— Any item whose shipment is prohibited under the laws of the origin or destination jurisdiction
This list is not exhaustive. Nova Express reserves the right to refuse any shipment that does not meet its standards regardless of category.
Package Scanning
Every package is subject to non-invasive scanning before collection is confirmed. Scanning covers content verification, hazardous materials detection, and biological and organic contaminant screening including invasive species, plant material, insects, and any living organisms.
Packages whose contents cannot be verified, whose declared contents do not match scan results, or whose scan detects biological or organic contaminants will not be collected.
Nova Express scanning operates at a molecular and biological level across every package processed. No package is exempt from scanning regardless of sender tier, declared contents, or shipment value.
Tracking
Every Nova Express shipment generates a real-time tracking record from the moment of collection to the moment of delivery. Tracking is available through LucidNet for all users. Lucid device users receive live updates through their assistant. Non-Lucid users receive updates through browser notification or email.
Tracking data is visible to the sender and the recipient. It is not shared with third parties.
Sender and Recipient Requirements
The buyer or recipient is responsible for ensuring their confirmed delivery address is accurate and complete. Nova Express delivers to the address confirmed at the time of purchase or shipment. Nova Express is not liable for failed deliveries resulting from inaccurate or incomplete addresses provided by the buyer or recipient.
The sender is responsible for ensuring the package is properly prepared and ready for collection at the confirmed pickup address within the scheduled collection window.
Failed deliveries due to recipient absence will be reattempted once within the same day. If the second attempt fails the package is held for 48 hours. The recipient will be notified through LucidNet where applicable and given the option to confirm an alternative delivery window or address. If no response is received within 48 hours the package is returned to the sender. Return shipping is charged to the sender at the original delivery rate.
Privacy
Shipment data including sender address, recipient address, package contents, and delivery records are held securely. Nova Technologies does not share shipment data with third parties beyond what is required to process the delivery and comply with lawful legal requirements.
Availability
Nova Express is available globally from launch. Nova Technologies does not restrict access to Nova Express on the basis of geography.
Senders are responsible for ensuring they are legally permitted to ship their products or items to the recipient’s location. Nova Express does not advise on import or export regulations. That responsibility rests with the sender.
