Common Questions About International Shipping
What does it cost, and can you share pricing?
Most clients pay the same or less than they did before. For courier, NFO, cold chain, and freight, our rates stay highly competitive. For parcel shipping, our partnerships and 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 more control, not less. Our technology, smooth integrations, and decades of practice give you real-time visibility and proactive management of every shipment. We watch packages closely, tracking not only where they were last scanned but where they should be, and we keep you posted at each step so you never have to wonder.
Do you cover all regions, and what areas do you specialize in?
We are a global shipping company, picking up and delivering anywhere on earth, for any size or temperature. Some providers stick to select regions, but because we partner with every major airline, we deliver steady service across the world rather than limiting ourselves to a single area.
Do you offer packaging, dry ice, or phase change materials?
Yes. We supply 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 facility ahead of time so everything is ready the moment pickup arrives.
What types of shipments does Mercury handle for healthcare companies?
We handle the full span of healthcare and life sciences freight: pharmaceuticals, clinical trial materials, specimens and diagnostics, biologics, medical devices, and any temperature-sensitive product needing refrigerated, frozen, or cryogenic handling. From an urgent same-day run to a cold chain delivery or routine freight, we manage each one with the documentation and chain of custody your work demands.
How does Mercury monitor shipments to make sure they arrive safely?
Our team watches every shipment proactively from pickup to delivery, checking not just the last scan but whether each package sits where it should at every stage. For temperature-sensitive freight we layer in cold chain monitoring, flag possible delays early, and step in to keep things moving. Updates reach you along the way, so the status is always at hand.
