Pinea Logistics · Case Study: Hand Carry

Same-day hand carry: İzmir → Reichersberg, Austria

One 30 kg box, door to door in 8 hours — secure and tracked all the way

When a manufacturer in İzmir needed a single 30-kilogram box at a facility in Reichersberg, Austria on the very same day, no scheduled freight product could make the deadline. Pinea's Hand Carry (On-Board Courier) service collected the shipment at the factory, flew with it on the next available connection and hand-delivered it to the destination — door to door in 8 hours, with live visibility at every step.

The brief

One box, 30 kg, collected at a factory in İzmir and required at a facility in Reichersberg, Austria within the same working day.

The challenge

Same-day delivery from the Aegean to rural Upper Austria — no scheduled air or road service could guarantee it. The sensitive cargo had to move at passenger speed with unbroken custody and visibility.

The solution

A Pinea courier picked the box up at the factory, boarded the next available flight and kept personal custody through security, customs and connections — no cargo terminals, no handovers.

The result

Door-to-door delivery in 8 hours. Pickup, boarding, landing and final delivery milestones were all visible live in Pinea Tracking, ending with proof of delivery at the door.
