Regulatory Expertise
We take care of all potential regulatory details, from Fish & Wildlife appointment setting to ATA Carnet preparation to full Customs clearance.
Fashion Couriers
Our couriers have been specifically trained to handle the problems inherent in urgent fashion and VIP-oriented logistics.
How We Work
Worldnet couriers or personnel personally chaperone your shipment over its entire journey. There are no times when a shipment is unaccompanied except when it has been lodged as checked passenger baggage, and even then it is meticulously tracked by both the courier and Worldnet until it’s back in the courier’s custody at baggage claim. Every OBC shipment is its own individual project and has dedicated personnel monitoring it 24/7.
Customized SoW
A customized Statement of Work (SoW) and timeline detailing your shipment’s required journey is circulated and referred to internally. The SoW includes and requires a minimum of fifteen specific communication milestones from the courier as a shipment is successfully navigating its journey, and a minimum of thirteen potential and specific communication events for typical problem situations if they occur.
Real-Time Response
Couriers are continuously and personally given troubleshooting instructions for typical and atypical potential delays including missing baggage, regulatory or Customs issues, traffic, receiver issues, and many other situations.

Case Study
When a fashion brand needed an expensive garment delivered to a photoshoot in a very remote location, Worldnet deployed one of our best.
- The courier hopped on a plane, the garment secured in a garment travel case
- After landing, he cleared immigration and Customs with no hiccups
- He then took a taxi service to the literal end of the road – the terrain was too rough for cars to travel so the driver dropped him off
- The courier located a nearby bicycle rental shop, rented a bike, and rode onward through the hilly terrain
- He arrived at the photoshoot’s location ahead of schedule to hand-deliver the dress, ensuring success for the delivery and the photoshoot
