Hand Carry Courier Service
One of the simplest ways to ensure your urgent, time-sensitive parcel delivery arrives safely at its destination is to book hand carry courier service.
What is Hand Carry Courier Service?
If you’re looking to deliver a small, important item overseas, hand carry courier service is the delivery service you need.
Certain business parcels and documents are too confidential to risk sending via air mail - not to mention that there’s a possibility your parcel could get lost, and postage usually takes a minimum of three working days. Hand carry courier service eliminates the frustrations of standard delivery while ensuring your parcel is personally delivered across the world under the most secure conditions.
With our hand carry courier service, your courier will take your small parcel or envelope on a direct flight to your destination of choice, storing it in the closest location for safekeeping. Once arrived at the delivery destination, your courier will deliver the parcel by road to its exact drop-off point.
One major advantage of our hand carry courier service is that your parcel or envelope will never leave its designated courier’s sight. We’ll assign one courier for the entire delivery process, so there’s less chance of your parcel getting lost and no additional waiting time during the switch-over process.
Hand Carry Courier Service Terms
Hand carry courier service is designed for the safest and most convenient delivery of an urgent or emergency parcel. We want to keep your parcel as safe as possible at all times, which means keeping it with us on board a plane and storing it as hand luggage. For this reason, hand carry courier parcels need to be smaller items that weigh below 6 kilograms.
You should also keep in mind the customs regulations of your parcel’s delivery destination. If you’re just looking to deliver a document or letter, this won’t apply to you. Remember, though, that many countries are strict on which items can and cannot be brought across the border. You may need to check customs rules for bringing in certain foods, liquids, plants, medications, or items that may be considered heavy.
If you’re not sure whether your hand carry parcel will pass customs inspection, give us a call. We’re familiar with the customs rules across the world and can do our best to help you.

How Does Hand Carry Courier Service Work?
The process of hand carry courier service generally follows the same pattern:
1. A customer gets in touch or requests a free quote or callback.
2. We’ll get back to the customer with the details of their delivery, including estimated time and delivery costs.
3. The customer agrees to the delivery and pays the invoice.
4. We process the order and immediately dispatch one of our local couriers to pick up the parcel from its pick-up location.
5. Behind the scenes, we’re assessing flight times and deciding which flight will offer the fastest and most convenient route to the parcel’s drop-off destination,
6. Once we’ve booked a flight, your courier will take your parcel to the nearest UK airport and board the plane with your parcel as hand luggage.
7. In the delivery destination’s airport, your courier will arrange for transportation to the exact drop-off point for the parcel.
8. Once the parcel has been dropped off, you’ll be notified by a member of our team.
We know that waiting for a time-critical parcel to be delivered is a fairly tense experience, and we try to alleviate any anxiety where we can. You’ll receive regular delivery updates, letting you know when your parcel has hit certain delivery milestones. You will also be able to view your parcel’s exact location at any given time using our live delivery tracker.
