Frequently Asked Questions
- What temperature ranges do your Southampton courier vehicles maintain?
- We maintain 2-8°C for pharmaceuticals (including vaccines and insulin), ambient temperatures (15-25°C) for general perishables, and frozen conditions (-18°C) for frozen foods. Each vehicle is equipped with temperature data logging—you'll receive a detailed record showing the exact temperature throughout transit. If your shipment has bespoke requirements (e.g., -80°C for research samples), we can arrange specialist frozen logistics partnerships.
- How quickly can you collect from Southampton?
- We aim for 30-60 minute collections across Southampton postcodes, with an average of 42 minutes from booking to vehicle arrival. Our 24/7 dispatch centre means late-afternoon or evening pharmaceutical collections are treated with the same urgency as morning orders. For time-critical shipments (e.g., same-day delivery to London), we guarantee collection within 60 minutes or your next shipment is discounted.
- Do you deliver internationally from Southampton?
- We co-ordinate EU deliveries via our partner network and arrange air freight collections for international pharmaceutical shipments via Heathrow, Gatwick, and Southampton Airport. For cold chain exports (e.g., vaccines to Europe), we handle customs documentation, temperature-monitored ground transport to the airport, and hand-off to approved air freight operators. Call us with your destination—we'll arrange the full journey.
- Are your vehicles ULEZ-compliant for Southampton?
- Yes—our entire fleet meets or exceeds ULEZ standards, meaning we can operate freely across Southampton and drive into London's Ultra Low Emission Zone without surcharges. All vehicles are Euro 6 or electric-hybrid, reducing emissions while maintaining reliable refrigeration.
- What documentation do you provide for pharmaceutical deliveries?
- Every pharmaceutical shipment includes a delivery note with time/date stamps, temperature data log, driver signature, recipient signature, and a GPS tracking map.
