“We are able to provide more competitive solutions to our customers. And increase our response time and success rate on imports significantly. Even for import jobs from China or USA, we can perform quotations to customers. In the past it took us at least 45 min to get a quote since not all of our agents operated 24/7. Now it is a maximum of 30min with you.”
Managing Director
Client
“It would be a lot harder without you. You guys are more experienced than us, with short connection time, you know the airports better, your experience is what helps me to save time and to quote faster. Saves time to focus on NFO. Operations is easier, I don’t need to buy airplane tickets all the time.”

About us
We make the impossible possible even in the most critical cases
Hi, I’m Jonathan and I flew ~3 million kilometers over 6 years as an onboard Courier (OBC). What have I learned from this?
When an OBC is dispatched, it’s always urgent and everything is at stake. I know better than anyone that everything has to run perfectly with OBC shipments. That’s why we have specialized exclusively in OBC, so that our customers (freight forwarders, time-critical desks) can outsource these premium shipments to us and still (or precisely because of this) sleep well.
If push came to shove, I would want exactly my team and no one else at my side. We are thoroughbred OBCs who make the impossible possible even in the most critical cases.
That’s what I stand for!
I look forward to talking to you in person!
