On-board courier Hamburg: personally accompanied
Your shipment travels as the carry-on luggage of a personal courier – by train, plane or direct vehicle. It is never left unattended and is handed over only to the named recipient against signature. Germany, Europe and worldwide on request: departure from Hamburg usually within 60–90 minutes, fixed quote in advance.
🇩🇪 Deutsch: Onboard-Kurier Hamburg →The safest way to send anything
With an on-board courier (also called hand-carry or OBC), your shipment never leaves the hands of a responsible person. A courier collects it from you, carries it as hand luggage – on the ICE train, on a flight or in a direct vehicle – and personally hands it to the recipient you name at the destination.
There is no reloading, no storage, no hand-over to third parties. You receive the courier's mobile number and, on request, a notification at pick-up, en route and at delivery.
The right choice for contracts that must be signed and back today, for data carriers and prototypes, for urgently needed small parts (AOG, machine downtime) – and for anything whose loss would cost far more than the trip.
