What To Look for in a Pharmaceutical and Medical Courier
A few questions to ask yourself as you begin your search for a medical courier are:
-
Do they offer a specialised pharmaceutical and medical courier service?
-
Do they have demonstrable experience transporting the type of goods you need delivered?
-
Do they have positive reviews from clients in the medical industry?
-
Do they offer a dedicated service and have access to the right vehicles for the job?
In your search for a medical courier, you’ll want them to check all these boxes with a resounding yes.
Experience is a must, when it comes to such important and often high-value consignments. Taking a risk on a new courier service, simply because it’s a lower cost, can end up having a far higher hidden price, so make sure your chosen medical courier knows what they’re doing.
What Qualities Must an Urgent Pharmaceutical and Medical Courier Have?
Speed
In accordance with Good Distribution Practice (GDP), it’s important to ensure the speed and agility of the transportation of medical goods.
Urgent medical supplies cannot wait and often have an enormous, life-altering impact when they are delivered. That’s why, at Speedy Freight, we operate a dedicated medical courier service, meaning that we never service more than one client per journey, and never co-load our consignments, which is especially important with fragile and sensitive medical consignments.
This means that absolutely no unnecessary stops are made along the way, and we are always completely dedicated to getting your consignment where it needs to be, exactly when it needs to be there.
In most cases, we can also be with you within 60 minutes of your booking, so last-minute critical pharmaceutical and medical deliveries can get where they need to be as soon as possible.
Reliability
At Speedy Freight, we know that urgent medical supplies require a courier with the utmost trust and reliability.
Our customer service team keeps clients updated on the progress of the journey so they can prepare or inform the necessary people of the incoming arrival.
We collate our testimonials on an independent platform, Trustpilot, to allow all our prospective clients to read testimonials from our current clients.
We’re proud to be among Trustpilot’s highest ranked logistics providers and courier services. Our 5-star reviews, from companies who have utilised us for full healthcare logistics, or as a one-off same day medical courier, can be viewed on our profile. Here’s what some of our clients in the healthcare sector have to say:
“Reliable, prompt, and good value. We would have no hesitation to use again especially with urgent medical materials.”
“I fully recommend Speedy Freight. We are a medical company who have been using Speedy Freight's services increasingly over the years.

Availability
When it comes to medical and pharmaceutical deliveries, time is always of the essence. You’ll want to find a courier that operates 24 hours a day, every day.
Whether you place an advanced booking for a same day pickup and delivery of pharmaceutical or medical goods, or you find yourself in need of a last-minute same day delivery, you want to know that your courier partner can act fast and deliver when you need it.
Speedy Freight is a 24-hour dedicated courier service that operates 365 days a year—that includes weekends, bank holidays, and every day in between. Whether you need something delivered day, afternoon, or overnight, we’re there. We understand time is especially critical in the medical industry.
