Pony Express runs a dedicated onboard courier (OBC) service to St. Louis for shipments that cannot wait for standard air freight — a single courier hand-carries your goods on the next available flight, with collection anywhere across the UK. Pricing is by quote — call 0800 288 4052.

A courier who never leaves your shipment

Rather than handing your goods between depots and freight handlers, one dedicated courier collects, flies with, and personally delivers your shipment — cutting out the transfer delays that come with conventional cargo.

Reaching St. Louis quickly

St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) connects to the UK via one-stop routings through major US hubs. We check live flight availability the moment you call to get a courier airborne fast, delivering into downtown St. Louis, Clayton and the wider metro area on arrival.

Industries we serve

St. Louis has a strong aerospace and defence base around Boeing's local operations, alongside a growing plant science and agricultural biotech cluster centred on the Danforth Plant Science Center. We hand-carry AOG parts, lab samples and research materials, and urgent components for manufacturers across the Mississippi River logistics corridor.

Customs handled in advance

Commercial invoices and export paperwork are prepared before the courier departs the UK, so the shipment clears US Customs on landing without joining a general freight queue.
