Shipping medical equipment and life-saving medications is not like transporting goods in other sectors. It could be a matter of life or death, so it must be quick but not rushed. Reliability is everything.
Let’s take a look at a few measures R Courier takes to ensure we get the life-saving medications to patients on time and in proper condition.
Different Shipping Speeds
Some medication needs to be there ASAP, while other times, speed is not exactly of the essence. R courier has a range of speeds that patients can request to accommodate their needs:
- Regular: Packages arrive before 5:00 PM.
- Rush: Packages arrive within 3-4 hours (depending on the delivery zone)
- Direct: Packages are delivered within 90-120 minutes (depending on pick-up and delivery zone)
- Urgent: Packages delivered non-stop (subject to availability)
- Overnight: Packages delivered on the next day (so long as it’s placed by 4:00 PM)
If patients can’t wait for their medication, they can simply request expedited shipping, and it will arrive when they need it.
Well-Maintained Fleet
Patients can’t afford to wait around excessively and hope that the medications they need arrive soon. R Courier takes pains to ensure our delivery vehicles are in great condition to minimize any chance of a breakdown on the road.
Not only is our fleet well maintained, but we also keep reserve vehicles on hand in the very rare chance that there is a problem on the road. It’s almost never needed, but we have a backup plan if necessary. For medical deliveries, maintaining speed and accuracy is essential, but so is maintaining our delivery vehicles.
Route-Optimization Technology
Whether delivering to oncology clinics or shipping live-saving medications anywhere else, R Courier always strives to be as quick as possible, and our innovative use of technology helps us out. We have powerful route optimization technology that shows our drivers the quickest and most efficient way to get to their destination.
Our drivers are trained to balance speed and efficiency with safety and reliability. There’s no reason to waste time stuck on bad routes. Leveraging modern mapping technology gets us there quicker and just as safely.
Tracking
Patients waiting for vital medications to arrive will be assured, knowing that they can track their shipment in real time using our website’s technology. They’ll always know where it is, and we provide a reliable ETA for all deliveries.
Similarly, our drivers have radios in addition to phones, so there’s always a way to keep in touch, even if they’re out of the usual service range or one technology experiences a hiccup or a blip.
We are proud to provide patients with the medications, samples, and equipment they need. It’s a vital service, one that saves lives. As an experienced Canadian company that has served Southwestern Ontario for decades, we know how important it is to get life-saving medication where it needs to be and in good condition. When you sign up with R Courier, feel confident that you’re in good hands, and that there’s no faster way to get your medication.
