COMMON QUESTIONS

Medical courier FAQs

Practical answers about hospital deliveries, medical records, equipment, specialist transport requirements and proof of delivery.

Ask about a medical delivery
Can you carry confidential medical records and healthcare documents?

Yes. Medical records, referral paperwork and other confidential healthcare documents can be transported as a dedicated courier movement, without parcel-hub sorting or customer co-loading.

Do you provide a same-day hospital and clinic courier service?

Yes. Subject to availability, we provide same-day collection and direct delivery for suitable items between hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries, healthcare offices, suppliers and other permitted destinations.

Can you transport medical specimens or pathology samples?

Not where the consignment requires specialist biological handling, diagnostic-specimen procedures, temperature control or dangerous-goods compliance. Those movements need an appropriately equipped specialist clinical logistics provider.

Do you provide temperature-controlled medical delivery?

No. Our standard courier service is not a validated cold-chain or temperature-controlled medical transport service. If a medicine, sample or other item must remain within a specified temperature range, a specialist temperature-controlled carrier should be used.

Can you carry medical equipment and supplies?

Yes, where the equipment or supplies are suitable for normal road courier transport and are not dangerous goods or subject to specialist temperature-control requirements. Send the dimensions, weight and item details so we can confirm the appropriate van.

Can you wait and return medical documents or equipment?

Yes. Wait-and-return can be arranged for records, signed paperwork, equipment exchanges and other suitable items where the courier needs to remain available before returning to the original location or continuing onward.

Do you provide medical courier services in London?

Yes. We arrange suitable same-day medical courier movements across London, subject to availability, as well as deliveries between London, Surrey and destinations throughout mainland UK.

Can you deliver directly to hospitals and clinics?

Yes, provided the destination accepts courier deliveries and you give us the correct department, recipient or delivery instructions. Hospital access, loading and security procedures can vary, so any site-specific information is helpful when booking.

Do you provide proof of delivery?

Yes. We confirm completion and provide proof of delivery. If you need a particular recipient name, signature or reference recorded, tell us when arranging the job so we can confirm the requirement.

How quickly can you collect an urgent medical delivery?

Collection time depends on the pickup location, current availability, the van required and the nature of the consignment. We will give you a realistic collection plan when we quote.

What counts as additional loading/unloading assistance?

Normal help with a straightforward collection or delivery is included. The additional assistance charge applies when the driver is required to do materially more than would reasonably be expected for a simple collection or delivery — for example repeated trips with multiple items, substantial hand-loading or unloading, stairs, carrying goods a significant distance, pallet breakdown, stacking or positioning.

If you're unsure, leave it unticked and tell us about the goods when requesting the quote.
