The Planet Express Ship is the bright green delivery spacecraft owned by Planet Express. It is used by Fry, Bender and Captain Leela to take various packages all over the galaxy. It has windshield wipers, a coffee maker, cupholders, a microwave, games room, cargo hold and a laundry room.

It was shown in The Sting that there was an old ship; seemingly identical to the current one but painted a dull gray color. This was piloted by Farnworth's previous crew, whom he had sent off on a suicide mission to collect space honey.

It's fairly well fortified, with a laser cannon and two torpedo tubes. It's shielding has held up against a torrent of missiles; yet the ship falls victim to such things as rocks while parked.

Once, the ship has also shown that it has an independent personality; in the episode Love and Rocket she falls in love with Bender. Since she is able to drive herself, it remains unknown why there needs to be a pilot. This has been the only episode that has shown the ship having a personality.
