Although as Biggles correctly points out, the laws requiring an AOC are not just for people, they apply equally to transporting "stuff".
Although, motorcycle couriers may be totally unregulated (I don't know), I do know that all of the other transport operators (vans and lorries) that transport "stuff" are regulated in a similar way to aircraft operations.
