The Challenge
BioPharm GmbH, a pharmaceutical company based in Frankfurt, was conducting a critical Phase 3 clinical trial. They had a narrow 24-hour window to receive blood samples from their partner clinic in Mexico City before the samples would degrade and become unusable.
Traditional air freight would take 3-5 days. Express courier services quoted 48-72 hours. Neither was acceptable.
The OnFlyGo Solution
At 2:00 PM Mexico City time, BioPharm posted an urgent request on our platform. Within 30 minutes, Carlos, a verified OnFlyGo courier who was already booked on a 6:00 PM flight to Frankfurt, accepted the delivery.
The Timeline
- 2:00 PM - Request posted
- 2:30 PM - Carlos accepted
- 3:15 PM - Samples picked up from clinic with proper temperature packaging
- 5:30 PM - Arrived at Mexico City airport
- 6:00 PM - Flight departed
- 10:30 AM next day - Landed in Frankfurt
- 11:45 AM - Samples delivered to BioPharm laboratory
Total time: 17 hours and 45 minutes
The Impact
The samples arrived in perfect condition, allowing BioPharm to continue their trial without delay. A single day's delay would have cost them an estimated $50,000 and pushed back their FDA submission timeline.
"OnFlyGo literally saved our trial. When we thought all was lost, they found a solution in under an hour." - Dr. Klaus Weber, Head of Clinical Operations, BioPharm GmbH
Why Hand-Carry Delivery Works for Medical Samples
On Board Courier (OBC) services are ideal for medical samples because:
- Temperature Control: Our couriers are trained in proper handling of temperature-sensitive materials
- Chain of Custody: Direct handoff eliminates the risk of samples being mishandled
- Speed: Same-day international delivery isn't possible with traditional shipping
- Flexibility: We can match your timeline with available flights
