Onboard Courier Service

For time-critical or highly sensitive shipments, an onboard courier provides direct, in-person transport, reducing handoffs and maintaining control throughout transit. This option is used when timelines are tight or shipment requirements exceed standard shipping conditions.

What is an Onboard Courier Service?

An onboard courier service uses a dedicated courier who accompanies the shipment from pickup to delivery, reducing handoffs and maintaining control during transit. It is used for time-critical and high-sensitivity materials, including clinical trial shipments, temperature-sensitive laboratory samples, and pharmaceutical products. The courier maintains custody, manages handover steps, and provides status updates throughout the journey to support traceability and enable quick decisions when conditions change.
