When a shipment to Pensacola, Florida can't wait for scheduled freight, Pony Express deploys a dedicated on-board courier (OBC) who hand-carries it as accompanied baggage from collection anywhere in the UK through to delivery in Pensacola. Pricing is always by quote — call 0800 288 4052.

Route to the Florida Panhandle

Pensacola sits on the Gulf Coast in the Florida Panhandle, home to Naval Air Station Pensacola — the "Cradle of Naval Aviation" — and a growing aerospace and maritime manufacturing base. Our courier routes via a major East Coast gateway before connecting on to Pensacola International Airport (PNS) for final delivery.

How on-board courier works

A single courier stays with your shipment for the entire journey, from UK collection to Pensacola delivery — it is carried as personal baggage, never consolidated with other freight and never left unattended.

What we hand-carry

• AOG aircraft and naval aviation parts
• Legal, financial and contractual documents against a deadline
• Medical samples, devices and pharmaceuticals
• Prototypes and components for maritime and aerospace manufacturers

Customs and clearance

All commercial documentation and any export licences travel with the courier, who clears US customs personally so the shipment reaches your recipient without sitting in a bonded warehouse.
