Definition

What is an international courier?

An international courier transports time-critical shipments across borders between collection and delivery locations in different countries.

01

The collection and delivery locations are in different countries.

02

Transport and scheduling are coordinated according to the international route.

03

Shipment details, route and requested delivery time determine the appropriate transport solution.

04

Depending on the requirements, transport can be organised as Direct Transport, Special Transport or through another suitable express connection.

The essence of an international courier

Cross-border coordination is what matters.

International courier transport connects collection and delivery locations across national borders. The appropriate transport method depends on urgency, route, shipment and time window.

One route. Multiple countries. One coordinated transport solution.

Transport types compared

Direct Transport

How is the shipment transported?

Without transshipment, in the same vehicle from the collection location to the recipient.

Special Transport

How is the vehicle assigned?

Exclusively and individually assigned to a single shipment.

International courier transport can also be Direct Transport or Special Transport.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about international couriers.

What exactly does international courier mean?

International courier transport connects collection and delivery locations in different countries. The transport method, vehicle and schedule are coordinated according to the route and shipment requirements.

Which countries can you serve?

International courier transport can be organised across numerous European routes. We assess specific availability based on the collection location, destination country, shipment details and time window.

How fast is an international courier?

The possible transit time depends on the distance, time when the goods are ready, vehicle requirements, route and requested delivery time. We assess the specific connection for every enquiry.

Is an international courier automatically Direct Transport?

No. International Courier primarily describes cross-border transport. Direct Transport, by contrast, describes transport without transshipment in the same vehicle. Both characteristics can be combined.

Is Special Transport abroad also possible?

Yes. When a vehicle is assigned exclusively to an international shipment, the transport can also be classified as Special Transport.

What information do you need for an enquiry?

We need the collection and delivery locations, including the destination country, shipment dimensions and weight, time when the goods are ready, requested delivery time and any relevant loading and unloading instructions.
