What is a Hand Carry Service?
How does a Hand Carry transport work?
Hand Carry Service is the fastest transport option for logistical emergencies. Important documents, urgent spare parts and other shipping goods are personally accompanied all the way from sender to recipient. As a rule, a Hand Carry courier will only take time-critical, particularly sensitive or business-relevant goods on board the aircraft. Since these are very often very urgent shipments, time:matters has made the upstream booking process particularly simple and especially fast:
- The sender can book a courier online
- time:matters confirms the solution requested by the customer or proposes alternatives
- The courier picks up the shipment in person
- The personal courier accompanies the shipment to the destination
