The On Board Courier Guide: When to Use It, How It Runs, What You Must Prepare
How OBC really works: the 200 kg and 180 cm limits, the four-step process, a mode-selection table against NFO, AOG and charter, packing and document checklists, and a real Bangkok to Detroit run.
Who this is for
Logistics buyers and supply chain managers who have a shipment that will not survive a freight terminal — high value, ESD-sensitive, temperature-controlled, or simply too late for standard air freight.

What you'll take away
- The two limits that decide everything — 200 kg and a 180 cm sum of dimensions — and how to work out in thirty seconds whether your shipment qualifies.
- A four-step sequence that tells you exactly who is doing what between your call and the signed delivery.
- An honest section on when not to use OBC, so you can push back if a provider is upselling you.
