Our team at Fleet Couriers is prepared to handle medical deliveries of all kinds. While you can always rely on us to treat all packages with care, there are a few things you can do to prepare your deliveries to ensure everything goes smoothly when the medical courier arrives.
Here are some simple things you can do to ensure your medical deliveries are ready for courier pickup.
Communicate the Contents
Before sending your package, clearly communicate to your courier what the contents are. We have different protocols for different types of shipments. For example, how we handle biological samples is much different than equipment or patient records. Our drivers are trained to carry all types of medical deliveries, but they have to know what they are shipping so they can use the proper protocols for each situation. Knowing the contents of the package also speeds up the process so we can avoid any unnecessary delays.
Use Adequate Packaging
Securely packaging all items so they are ready to go when the courier arrives also speeds up the process. If you are unsure of the best way to package something, ask us and a member of our team will be happy to advise you on the best way to secure your items. Fragile items should be well-packed and clearly labeled as “fragile” so everyone who handles your package treats it with the utmost care. Liquids and biological samples should also be properly sealed so nothing leaks. This precaution ensures the integrity of your shipment and the safety of anyone who handles it.
Label Everything Clearly
When shipping anything, clear labels are crucial. The name and address of the recipient should be clearly visible and easy to read. If there are any warnings that need to be on the outside of the package—such as “fragile” or “contains hazardous material”—put them in multiple places on the package so they can be easily seen and read.
