Hi guys

I am trying to find a courier which will freight medication cold from the UK to Africa. It'll be approximately every 6 months. I've tried the usual companies but probably need a specialist. I know it's a long shot but if anybody has any suggestions I would be more that grateful.

Thanks

Louise

    Hi Louise
    I don't know the answer to that but when I worked as a research scientist some years back Fedex used to take frozen samples and the like when we needed them too. If you are really stuck why dont you phone the pathology dept at your local hospital, ask to speak to the head pathologist and ask them if they can help. Worth a try!
    Good luck

    Hello, I used to work as a secretary in a University (Oxford) science department and we used FED EX for cold deliveries all over the world. The only thing is, I think their are customs rules and so forth. I'm not sure of the rules these days either, but a big company like FED EX or maybe a hospital or science department at a university could help you.
    Hope you can find an answer, someone must know.
