When Should You Use a Hand Carry Delivery Service?

For many shipments, electronic tracking data is all you need to ensure that your delivery gets to its destination safely and on time. In certain circumstances, however, it may be necessary to have your shipment personally monitored throughout its journey, which is where hand carry delivery service comes in. With hand carry delivery service, your shipment will be accompanied by a courier at all times, so there is no opportunity for the shipment to be lost or tampered with. This type of security may be integral for certain deliveries, so read ahead to know when it is best to hire a hand carry delivery service for your shipment.

You need to ship products quickly.

If you need a shipment to cross international borders, a courier service can be the fastest way to make it happen. Hand carried deliveries can move through customs faster than lone cargo, so you should seek this service when time is of the essence. Hand carry delivery service is also beneficial for medical deliveries—particularly in the case of live tissues used for transplants—since these materials have a very limited shelf life.

You have highly sensitive cargo.

Delicate or particularly valuable cargo may benefit from the added security and monitoring of hand carry delivery services. You will have a clear and accurate record of your shipment throughout its journey, and—unlike shipments tracked with traditional scanning methods—you can know exactly where your package is at any time. Dispatchers can communicate with couriers at any time, so there is the constant security of knowing the state of your delivery.
