Most frequently asked questions
What is a medical courier?
A medical courier is a specialized delivery service that transports medical items, such as laboratory specimens, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and documents, between healthcare facilities, labs, pharmacies, and other related entities. Medical couriers are often trained to handle sensitive materials that require special care, such as temperature regulation for certain medications or strict adherence to safety protocols for biological samples. They play a crucial role in ensuring timely and secure delivery of medical resources, which is essential for patient care and efficient healthcare operations.
Which courier is best for medicine delivery?
When it comes to choosing the best courier for medicine delivery, reliability, speed, and safety are key factors. RGP TRANS LTD stands out as an excellent option in this regard.

Can I send medicine through Royal Mail?
Yes, you can send some types of medicine through Royal Mail, but there are specific regulations and guidelines that must be followed. Prescription medications and certain controlled substances have restrictions, and proper packaging and documentation may be required. Always check Royal Mail’s official website for the latest rules regarding sending medications, and ensure that the recipient is authorised to receive them.
However, we provide ADR courier services that enable us to transport items that Royal Mail cannot. This includes a wider range of goods, such as hazardous materials and specific medicines, while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. If you have items requiring special handling or ADR certification, we can offer a reliable solution for your shipping needs.
What is the difference between a parcel service and a courier service?
The main difference between a parcel service and a courier service is in the type of delivery and the urgency of the items transported.
1. Parcel Service: Typically handles larger volumes of packages through a standardized network, focusing on less time-sensitive deliveries. Examples include services from companies like FedEx and UPS.
2. Courier Service: Focuses on fast, same-day delivery, providing door-to-door service for urgent items. They can handle a variety of goods, including:
– Parcels: Quick standard packages.
– Pallets: Bulk shipments.
– Flight Cases: Transporting sensitive equipment.
– Bulky Shapes: Items that require special handling.
In summary, parcel services cater to regular shipments, while courier services emphasize speed and flexibility for a wider range of items.
