I've got all 100% sync, the only thing missing is the thieves challenges, which I can't finish because I can't find a courier to catch. I know that there's no way to make them "appear", but are there any way to increase the chance for the, appearing, or is there a place or area where they appear more often?

Apparently, couriers don't have any special place where they spawn more, they are simply a rare spawn.

Ubisoft have addressed this in the 1.02 patch that was released for the XBOX and PS3 versions:

Couriers will now appear more often in Boston and New York

I found them to appear more in New York, but I've only seen 3 so far in all my game time.

Unsurprisingly they always appear when I'm busy with other things, so I have to break off and chase them down. They are a 'rare' spawn though, with some people saying they show up after you pay off a printer.

There is a spot listed here, with a confirmation post.

However I've not tried this spot myself.

The place I remember them spawning more than once is in the market that is in the middle of broadway.

They have been anything but rare for me in NY. They are constantly appearing whenever I am out collecting/killing. – Colin D Jan 18 at 13:29
Courier spawns are strange. I got a lot of them, they seem to spawn when you're not on a mission and just running around collecting things. I actually had one spawn inside a fort while I was stealthing around trying to capture it. – turbo Jan 18 at 13:44
I also saw one spawn inside a fort. – Shinrai Jan 18 at 17:04
@ColinD - There was a patched that addressed them not spawning. This answer was posted before that patch was released. – Ramhound Jan 18 at 19:53
