Astrtal Couriers

Onboard Delivery

• Medical trials delivered next day to a doctor in Accra, Ghana. There were a number of reasons for using an onboard courier for this delivery:
  1. Safe and secure delivery,
  2. Time scale from collection to delivery,
  3. Customs clearance on arrival.
  Our courier even had Yellow Fever jabs before he flew!

• Aircraft spares were required in San Diego on a regular basis as soon as they were completed production in the UK on the first available flight. Morning collections in the UK were giving deliveries around midnight in San Diego. When the courier was flying all customs clearance was arranged by our staff and agents in LA allowing the courier to sail through US Customs and Immigration stress free, hop into a his hire car and drive to deliver direct on site.
• A small box was required to be delivered to a remote Scottish Island ASAP. We had a courier drive overnight to Glasgow, jump on the first flight and he delivered within 20 minutes of landing.
• Electronics components were required to be delivered in Omaha, USA as soon as possible, but keeping cost to a minimum. The solution we gave our customer was to hand-carry the goods to New York same-day, clear customs on the spot and hand to our NY agent to forward on a ‘first-drop’ service to Omaha. The result was delivery by 08:30 the following day and over £1,000 saving.
