The service
Personal custody across borders.
An on-board courier travels with the consignment as accompanied baggage or approved carry-on, subject to airline, customs, security and destination rules. The item remains with one accountable person from collection through to recorded handover.
The service is designed for urgent documents, components, prototypes, replacement parts, small artworks and other high-value items where time and chain of custody matter more than conventional shipping rates. Domestic and international departures are available from Sydney.
Every movement is individually quoted. The fee, airfare, ground transport and expected expenses are confirmed before departure wherever practicable. Acceptance remains subject to declared contents, dimensions, value, insurance requirements and legal carriage restrictions.
Suitable requirements
Important enough to handle personally.
Every movement is reviewed for feasibility, timing, declared contents and any access, carrier or destination restrictions before acceptance.
Components and prototypes
Small parts, samples and replacement components needed to keep a project, production line or demonstration moving.
High-value items
Compact artworks, personal effects and valuable items suitable for lawful carriage with declared contents and agreed handling conditions.
How it works
Clear custody. Clear completion.
Feasibility and quote
You provide the contents, dimensions, value, route and deadline. Carrier and destination restrictions are checked before acceptance.
Collection and flight
The item is collected, its condition and authority recorded, then personally accompanied on the next available suitable flight.
Direct handover
Delivery is made to the agreed recipient. Completion, timing and any relevant handover details are confirmed to you.
Questions
Before you book.
- What is an on-board courier?
- An on-board courier personally travels with an urgent consignment rather than placing it into an unaccompanied freight or parcel network. The precise carriage method depends on the item and airline rules.
- How quickly can an international courier leave Sydney?
- The aim is the next available suitable flight after the item, route, entry requirements and carriage conditions have been checked. A departure is not confirmed until feasibility, price and authority are agreed.
- Can you carry documents interstate as well as internationally?
- Yes. On-board courier movements can operate within Australia or internationally from Sydney. The most practical route is recommended after reviewing the deadline and destination.
- Are all items accepted?
- No. Contents must be fully declared and lawful. Acceptance depends on dimensions, value, insurance, airline rules, security requirements, customs treatment and destination restrictions.
