What makes us different from competitors?
AviaSend provides personal air delivery. This means that the courier takes only one order and is fully responsible for the cargo. We do not resort to the services of intermediaries, we do not use cargo terminals and multimodal transportation. Hand-to-hand delivery only!
This approach has become a key factor in our success, because our customers are confident in the scrupulous escort of their cargo, no matter where it goes on the planet. This prevents important correspondence, documents or valuable packages from reaching third parties. We have permanent couriers in St. Petersburg and Moscow, who are ready to fly on request instantly to any destination. They cooperate with us both internationally and regionally.
Safe transport - quality transport
High reliability and safety of delivery is guaranteed due to the escort of the cargo from the moment it is received to the direct delivery to the recipient. This distinguishes us from other courier and transport companies that work through intermediaries and store parcels in a warehouse. We do not accept orders related to the delivery of dubious goods, especially if they fall into the category of prohibited for air transportation. Each shipment is double checked before shipment to ensure the proper level of security and compliance with the laws of the Russian Federation and recipient countries.
Delivery time
AviaSend On board courier services allow you to deliver small cargoes as quickly as possible, because air couriers go with them to their destination at the best (for price and speed) flight. The transfer of the parcel to the recipient occurs immediately: upon meeting at the airport or at the address (the courier takes a taxi without delay). Such an algorithm of work provides the utmost efficiency, which cannot be provided by any courier and transport company.
