When Overnight Express Isn’t Fast Enough and the Distance is Too Far, NFO Shipping Can Get Your Shipment to the Final Destination The Same Day
In today's fast-paced world, time-sensitive shipments demand exceptional logistics solutions. At Mercury, we understand the critical importance of delivering urgent packages promptly and securely. NFO ensures the fastest possible dispatch and delivery of your urgent shipment to its final destination. With next flight out, your package is given priority and will be dispatched on the next available passenger flight. NFO is typically faster than express or overnight shipping, as it leverages existing airline networks and flight schedules.
How Next Flight Out Shipping Works
The designated courier will come and pick up your package.
The courier will tender the shipment to the passenger airline with the next flight out to the destination.
The shipment will fly on a passenger flight along with other checked baggage.
A courier will pick up the shipment from the airport and deliver directly to its destination using any special instructions you want, such as calling the recipient once it’s on the delivery truck.
Our NFO Shipping Services
Mercury's dedicated team proactively tracks next flight out shipments and handles every step of the shipping process, from airline booking to pickup to final delivery with a local courier. We work with a global network of partner airlines and couriers to ensure broad coverage and reliable service. Whenever possible, we opt for direct flights to ship your products as quickly as possible. Our NFO shipments cover a range of items, including biological specimens, pre-clinical research samples, medical device equipment, and critical legal documents.
The cost of NFO shipping varies depending on factors such as the shipment's size, weight, destination, and any additional services required such as temperature-sensitive cold chain logistics. We also offer shipping insurance options to protect your shipment against loss or damage. The size and weight restrictions for NFO shipments may vary depending on the airline.
