Move X from A to be B. For doing this you will be given Y. Y is the profit. Obviously profitable.
However if its better or worse then kill missions... hard to say... depends on your character? Your way of playing. If youve trained up a hauler and got some sweet local hull conversion nanos and cargo expanders and preferably some intie in with coresponding MWD and nanos - however cant yet fly a cruiser you will see that Courier missions are likely to yield much more - then kill missions. However theres less risk in doing it and as always especially in EVE - less risk = less rewards.
Since the dragon patch many courier missions are about moving tiny objects reports, people whatever a couple of jumps - even if the rewards are not to great the storylines are and they always come every 16 missions no matter if these are childs play couriers or kill missions of the worst sort.
This post was probably filled with errors and mistakes, but if you want to complain you better wake me up because im heading back to bed.(Yes this was meant as an excuse in the form of "I'm tired! Buhu!") =P

The real money you make in kill missions is in the bounties and loot. Most high sec lvl4 missions I make 2.5mil for the mission but ~30mil from loot and bounty. I have not done lvl4 courier missions so I do not know if you can do them fast enough to have the same isk per hour as kill mish.

at the moment, courrier miss lvl4 are not worth it. little reward in isk/lp and too many fight missions in storyline for crap reward. so if you are able to do lvl4 storyline fighting mission, you' better avoid courrier at the moment. and if you're only able of doing courrier missions, better train for fight...
i don't know why ccp seems too hate so much courrier missions. think we have to wait at least until next patch to have something doable as courrier.

The courier missions are working nice now because
A) They can be done quicker than kill missions, generally. Especially with the frequency of shuttle/interceptor capable missions.
B) The removal of the non-deadspace missions leaves only a handful of story lines, making the likelihood of an easy mission that yields an implant much higher.
For example, my last 4 storylines have been
Angel Strike 10 part (combat/courier) Buy/Mine 6k Omber for a +3 implant (x 2) Buy/Mine 10k Kernite for a +4 implant
The above is for Gallente based L3 and L4 courier missions. Your experience may be different with other factions.

Lv3 courier missions are worth bog all 1mill isk if your lucky. However, if you get the implant (20mill) from the storyline mission then this about breaks even with what you would have got from lv3 combat missions ~1mill per mission on average.
What does make a difference though is if you get a lucky loot drop from the missions, eg. an arbalest launcher @8mill isk or something equally juicy...
