Air Courier Deliveries During COVID-19

May 29, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic changed nearly every aspect of life around the globe. From the mandatory wearing of masks in some areas to entire countries being locked down with citizens unable to leave their homes except for the most essential of duties; the effects of the pandemic are far-reaching and extensive.

Benefits of Hand-Carry Air Courier Service:

During these challenging times, it is more important than ever to ensure that the proper measures are taken when you need an item of value delivered. From having no contact with those beyond your immediate household to maintaining a social distance of at least six feet from others when out in public, mandates such as these ensure that many events during everyday life grind to a halt.

Nix Travel Restrictions:

Travel restrictions not only put a huge damper on the ability of the average person to move freely, but they can also make doing so prohibitively expensive. By engaging a hand-carry air courier service, you're assured that vetted couriers traveling in the most expedient methods possible are met at the destination airport by company personnel. What’s more, a team of trained brokers around the globe will keep you updated every step of the way in real-time.

Door-to-Door Delivery:

While you might have previously had the means to retrieve any items that you needed to have delivered via air courier from a dropbox or other public location, that might not be an option during the COVID-19 pandemic. With the closure of so many businesses, as well as government warnings to not leave your home, it might be impossible to pick up your items. Providing you with door-to-door delivery offers convenience and peace of mind.

Fast, Personal Service:

Using a hand-carry air courier service provides you with expedite and personal service. You'll know that your items will be able to clear customs more quickly. Live status updates allow you to follow the progress of your items from start to finish.

Full Control:

Some items -- valuable art, legal papers, computer chips and the like -- are just too important to leave to traditional shipping companies. At some point during the item's journey, if you use a traditional shipping company, there will be no one that has physical custody of it. This could mean that it falls into the wrong hands, it could become misplaced inside the vehicle, it could be put on the wrong flight -- unfortunately, the possibilities of what could go wrong are nearly endless.

Relying on a hand-carry air courier service means that your item never leaves the presence of a trusted person. There is simply no substitute for this type of control and service.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has shaken up life across the globe, you can still enjoy the benefits of a hand-carry air courier service. Relying on this personal service ensures that you can maintain some sense of normalcy while also completing business or pleasure as your life requires.
