If a Distribution mission has an item as a reward instead of ISK, then the item will appear in your personal hangar at the agent's station (which may or may not be the dropoff location for the mission).

Level 1 and 2 Distribution missions can be run using frigates, although you may need to use cargo modules in the low slots.  Cargo size for L1/L2 missions can be up to 450 {{m3}} in size. This is easily accomplishable with an exploration frigate, although in the case of maximum size cargo, a Cargohold Extender module may be required (the [[Magnate]] has the most low slots and may be of use here).  For level 3 and 4 courier missions, you will need an industrial hauler because cargo sizes will be in the {{gaps|4|000}}–{{gaps|8|000}} {{m3}} range.

You will likely move up from your Venture to an [[Industrial]] ship. Your goal in hauling is always to move as much as you can as fast as you can, and whichever industrial you choose should be able to handle level II and III missions. Level IV missions can require up to 8,000 {{m3}} of cargo space - keep that in mind as you shop for ships later in your career.
For small volume missions T1 exploration ships are best as they have largest cargo holds among frigates. The 450 {{m3}} cargo is easily accomplishable, although in the case of maximum size cargo a Cargohold Extender module may be required. Consider that the [[Magnate]] has the most low slots, which may be of the most use for fitting cargo and agility modules, although as the role is not very demanding, even a [[Heron]] can do the job in a pinch.

Level IV missions can require up to 8,000 {{m3}} of cargo space - keep that in mind as you shop for ships later in your career. Expect to accomplish this in a "fast" industrial ([[Nereus]], [[Badger]], [[Wreathe]], or [[Sigil]]) with a decent level of skill and possibly additional modules. These hulls confer the advantage of extra warp speed compared to bulk haulers, along with skill bonuses to align time and base cargo.
