Pinea Logistics · Case Study: Hand Carry
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.
One box, 30 kg, collected at a factory in İzmir and required at a facility in Reichersberg, Austria within the same working day.
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.
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.
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.

Yes. Every milestone from factory pickup to the delivery signature was visible in Pinea Tracking throughout the 8-hour operation.
