Onboard Courier
Hand-carry onboard courier service for the fastest, most secure international deliveries.
Onboard courier is the fastest and most secure international delivery method available. A dedicated courier physically carries your shipment as personal baggage on a commercial passenger flight, bypassing cargo systems entirely, and hand-delivers it directly to the recipient at destination.
Transfer 2000 manages the complete process: collection, flight routing, customs documentation, and final handover.
When onboard courier is the right choice
Standard air freight and express courier services still involve cargo handling, consolidation, and processing delays. Onboard courier removes all of that. Your shipment is never entered into a cargo system, never stored in a warehouse, never handled by third parties. The courier maintains continuous physical custody from collection to delivery.
This level of control is essential when the item is too urgent, too valuable, or too sensitive to risk through conventional logistics channels.
Who uses this service
Aerospace and aviation companies with AOG (Aircraft on Ground) critical parts, automotive and engineering firms shipping prototype components internationally, technology and IT providers transporting high-value hardware, pharmaceutical and life sciences organisations moving time-sensitive samples or materials, legal and financial firms with documents that must arrive within hours, and fashion and media production teams transporting emergency garments or samples for runway shows, shoots, and live events where timing is absolute.
How it works
Once confirmed, we identify the fastest available flight route and dispatch a trained courier to collect your item. They travel with it throughout the journey. We manage customs documentation at origin and destination, coordinate clearance on arrival, and the courier personally delivers to the recipient with proof of delivery at handover.
Customs compliance included
A common misconception is that hand-carry avoids customs. It does not, but we ensure all declarations are correctly made, documentation is prepared in advance, and any duties or taxes are handled in full compliance with local regulations. We advise on import restrictions before anything moves.
Global coverage, rapid mobilisation
We can often mobilise a courier within hours of confirmation. The service is designed around next-available-flight routing, with real-time updates from our team throughout the journey.
