How Medical Courier Delivery Works
A simple, direct process built for healthcare — you prepare and seal your materials, we collect them and move them fast with full tracking and proof of delivery.
Book Your Medical Courier
Book online or WhatsApp us with your pickup location, delivery destination and material type. We immediately assign a nearby medical courier. For recurring lab runs, set up a healthcare business account with automated scheduling.
Sealed Collection
Your courier arrives and collects your sealed, pre-packaged materials — exactly as you have prepared them, using your own validated cold chain where needed. The courier confirms the manifest matches, records the sealed state, and is on the road within minutes.
Direct Transit
The courier drives straight to the destination with no intermediate stops or hub sorting. You receive live SMS updates — collected, in transit, approaching, delivered — with GPS tracking available throughout the journey.
Verified Handover
At delivery, the recipient signs for the sealed parcel and the courier photographs the handover. You receive instant confirmation with proof of delivery, chain of custody report and sanitisation record.
