A friend of mine has been receiving unsolicited commercial email (they're polite and can spell, so I won't call it spam this once) from a Russian company that will print your digital photos for a fee and deliver them via courier within the Moscow city limits. (My friend lives in the upper Midwest of the United States and thought the messages were in Arabic (!), so this was really a waste of effort on their part.)

One of the sentences in the email puzzled me:

Вы ПОЛУЧИТЕ отпечатанные снимки С КУРЬЕРОМ в течение 2-х дней.

What I want to know is, why does it say "С КУРЬЕРОМ" and not just "КУРЬЕРОМ "? The snapshots are delivered by the courier, not "with" him.

PLEASE don't forget that the working language of this community is English. This community is not for those native Russian speakers who cannot write and/or speak their own language properly (which is the case with pishu_pravilno, but for those non-natives who learn Russian. We are here to help them, not to discuss language-related issues in the language most of them cannot comprehend yet.

If it's not too much text, I think a bit of colloquial Russian is a good excersize for those non-natives who want to know what those Russians are whispering about behind their backs :)
