Mercury has spent more than 40 years moving the kind of cargo that cannot afford a misstep, and we bring that same care to international shipping in London.

London businesses get a shipping partner that knows the science, the paperwork, and the urgency behind every delivery.

Common Questions About International Shipping in London
What does it cost? Can you share pricing?
Most customers pay the same or less than they did before. For courier, next flight out, cold chain, and freight, our rates stay highly competitive. For parcel, our partnerships and shipping volume earn discounts we pass straight to you, while funding proactive tracking and dedicated support. Reach out and our team will gladly walk you through pricing.
Do I lose control by using Mercury for parcel shipping?
You gain control. Our technology, integrations, and decades of experience give you real-time visibility and proactive management of every shipment. We track packages closely, noting not just where they were last scanned but where they should be, and update you at each step. Our customers like knowing we watch their shipments so they do not have to.
Do you cover all regions? What areas do you specialize in?
We are a global shipping company and can collect and deliver anywhere in the world, at any size or temperature. Some providers focus on a single region, but because we work with all major airlines, we deliver consistent service worldwide. Need something across town? Our courier service in London keeps local, time-critical runs moving too.
Do you offer packaging, dry ice, or phase change materials?
Yes. We provide packaging solutions, including dry ice and phase change materials. Our couriers can bring these along when collecting your shipment, or we can send them to your location in advance so everything is ready before pickup arrives.
What types of shipments does Mercury handle for healthcare companies?
We handle the full range of healthcare and life sciences shipments: pharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, specimens and diagnostics, biologics, medical devices, and any temperature-sensitive product needing refrigerated, frozen, or cryogenic handling. Whether it is an urgent same-day run, a cold chain delivery, or routine freight, we manage it with the documentation and chain of custody healthcare teams rely on.
How does Mercury monitor shipments to make sure they arrive safely?
Our team monitors every shipment proactively from pickup to delivery, watching not only the last scan but whether each shipment sits where it should at every stage. For temperature-sensitive freight we add cold chain and temperature monitoring, flag potential delays early, and step in to keep things moving. You get updates along the way, so the status is always within reach.
