How does our on-board courier service work for shipments from China?

Our On Board Courier Service for shipments from China involves a dedicated courier physically carrying the items on a commercial airline flight to the destination. Here's a step-by-step overview of how the process typically works:

1. Booking and Coordination

- The sender (shipper) contacts an on-board courier service provider to request the service.
- The service provider assesses the shipment details, including the destination, urgency, and any special requirements.
- The sender provides the necessary documentation for the shipment.

2. Courier Assignment

- Once the details are confirmed, the on-board courier (OBC) is assigned to the shipment.
- The OBC is often chosen based on factors such as the destination, visa requirements, and the nature of the items being shipped.

3.Travel Arrangements

- The OBC makes travel arrangements, including booking a commercial flight to the destination.
- The OBC may be required to obtain any necessary visas or permissions for the destination country.

4. Item Handover

- The sender hands over the items to the OBC at a designated location, typically at the departure airport.
- The OBC ensures that the items are securely packaged and comply with any relevant regulations.

5. Flight Journey

- The OBC personally carries the items on the booked commercial flight to the destination.
- During the flight, the OBC is responsible for the security and safekeeping of the items.

6. Customs Clearance

- Upon arrival at the destination airport, the OBC proceeds with customs clearance procedures.
- The OBC ensures that all necessary documentation is provided to facilitate a smooth customs process.

7. Final Delivery

- After clearing customs, the OBC delivers the items to the recipient or the designated delivery location.
- The recipient may be an individual or a representative of the receiving organization.

8. Confirmation and Reporting

- The on-board courier service provider provides confirmation of successful delivery to the sender.
- Detailed reports may be provided, including proof of delivery and any relevant information about the journey.

9. Return Journey (if applicable)
