General Info:
Time-sensitive packages are usually sensitive to one other thing: handling. That's why you need a courier who can get your delivery to its destination today, safely and securely. And no one takes that responsibility more seriously than Option Courier Services. Option Courier has over 20 years of proven expertise in serving the area's leading medical labs, research facilities and hospitals. No wonder the Boston Business Journal named us One of the Top Ten Courier Services in the region. It's not uncommon for us to rush a delivery to a surgeon who has a patient on the operating table. And let's face it, all medical deliveries that involve blood and tissue samples have a limited specimen stability window and absolutely must be handled with care. When choosing a courier, you want one who will take every measure to ensure smooth and safe delivery of your specimens. Option Courier adheres to the strictest requirements of OSHA ( Occupational Safety and Health Administration ) and CAP ( College of American Pathologists ). And, although not mandated, we follow the precautions outlined by the Department of Homeland Security. Option Courier operates a fleet of climate-controlled vehicles that all undergo routine safety inspections. Our drivers must pass thorough CORI background checks before they are hired. And they are trained extensively on how to secure and transport specimens. Plus, every driver wears an Option Courier Services uniform and carries an ID, so they can get in and out of laboratories and medical facilities without delay. All deliveries get a bar code that links to detailed information about your package, so we can easily track your delivery every step of the way. Our GPS system lets us know exactly where your package is at any moment. And Nextel Direct Connect two-way radios keep us in constant communication with our drivers.
