Reliable International Shipping in Vancouver
A vial leaves a Vancouver lab in the morning fog near Stanley Park and needs to reach a partner site across the world in perfect condition. That is the kind of work Mercury was built for. Since 1984, our team has handled international shipping for healthcare and life sciences companies, treating every specimen, biologic, and medical device as if a breakthrough depended on it, because often one does. We serve Vancouver with the same care we have given clients for more than 40 years: real people who answer, proactive tracking that watches your freight at every stage, and customs expertise that keeps shipments moving across borders. From biotech startups to established manufacturers, Vancouver companies lean on Mercury for international shipping that arrives safely, on time, and without the guesswork.
Why Vancouver Companies Choose Mercury
International shipping in Vancouver rarely fails because of distance. It fails in the small gaps: a missing customs document, a temperature excursion no one caught, a carrier hotline that leads nowhere. Mercury closes those gaps. Our healthcare-specific customs brokerage knows the country-by-country details that prevent delays, and our team monitors each shipment from pickup through delivery, watching not just the last scan but whether your freight is where it should be. We move anything, from a single specimen box to palletized devices over 150 lbs, at any temperature, to 236 countries and territories. Need ground support too? We also handle cold chain logistics in Vancouver and same-day courier service in Vancouver, so your local and global needs live with one trusted partner who actually picks up the phone.
Common Questions
What does international shipping cost, and can you share pricing?
Most clients pay the same or less than before. For courier, NFO, cold chain, and freight we offer highly competitive rates, and for parcel we pass along discounts earned through strong carrier partnerships and high volume. Those savings also fund proactive tracking and dedicated support. Contact us and our team will gladly share pricing.
Do I lose control by shipping with Mercury?
Quite the opposite. Our technology, integrations, and decades of experience give you real-time visibility and hands-on management of every shipment. We track where your package was last scanned and where it was supposed to be, then keep you posted along the way. Clients value knowing we watch their shipments closely so they never have to.
Do you cover all regions, or specialize in certain areas?
We are a global shipping company and can pick up and deliver anywhere in the world, at any size or temperature. Some providers focus on a single region. Because we work with every major airline, we deliver consistent service worldwide rather than limiting ourselves to one area.
Do you offer packaging, dry ice, or phase change materials?
Yes. We provide packaging solutions, including dry ice and PCMs. Our couriers can bring these materials when collecting your shipment, or we can send them to your location ahead of time so you are ready when pickup arrives.
What healthcare shipments does Mercury handle?
We manage the full range 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 urgent same-day runs to routine freight, we manage the documentation and chain of custody your work depends on.
How does Mercury keep shipments arriving safely?
Our team watches every shipment proactively from pickup to delivery, confirming each one is where it should be at every stage. For temperature-sensitive freight we add cold chain monitoring, flag possible delays early, and step in to keep things moving. You get updates as we go, so you always know the status without chasing it.
