About Jazoo express courier.

Jazoo courier was founded in the summer of 2006 by laboratory specialists to give the local environmental community a viable option for transporting samples without incident. We know how frustrating and expensive the re-sampling process can be especially when a courier is the cause.

Our management team consists of a former laboratory sample coordinator, a former laboratory logistics supervisor, and a former laboratory QA/QC officer. We use the combined experience and knowledge of these fields to provide unparalleled service and received sample viability.

Common Sample transportation issues:

Freezing

Sample freezing is common when dealing with any of the major courier companies such as Purolator and UPS. This is due to the fact that the major carriers do not provide heated environments in the winter and your freight will often sit overnight in sub zero temperatures. This often makes biological samples unviable, headspace sensitive samples can be ruined, and breaks in the containment of liquid samples make them utterly unusable. *In addition extreme temperatures can affect sensitive laboratory or sampling equipment that is often shared between office locations.

Jazoo regulates the temperature of all its vehicles including trailers and never allows samples to fall below four degrees Celsius. We even employ a redundancy plan to insure this if a transport vehicle fails in cold weather your samples will not freeze.

Breakage

Breakage due to mishandling is an ever present challenge to environmental professionals. Many couriers mishandle lab samples for a variety of reasons ranging from inexperience, quick sorting, transfers to meet connecting trucks, or in extreme cases intentional misconduct. As samples can not be insured to cover resampling costs this can an expensive shipper error.

Jazoo express courier handles each container as if it contained delicate glass or instrumentation. We are fully aware how easily lab ware can crack and more importantly how much it costs to resample. In addition all of our vehicles are lined with specialized shock absorbing foam to minimize impacts caused by bumpy road conditions. To date we are pleased to maintain a zero percent breakage record.

Sample contamination

Often the act of transporting samples can lead to contamination. Vehicle emissions can cause false VOC and hits in both samples and blanks. This can cause significant problems with quality control in labs and false positives reported to the professionals who sampled.

Jazoo is fully aware of this issue and takes every precaution against it. Our vehicles are never running during loading and unloading of samples. We do not use any type of mass parking environment and our vehicles are routinely cleaned using solvent and VOC free cleansers.

Hold times

Missed connections, delays, and even standard shipping times often result in a sample exceeding its recommended hold times. This can cause degradation of sample quality and of its resulting data and often leads to a new sample being required. Delays of this nature often spell disaster for environmental professionals.

Jazoo courier delivers your samples directly. There are no overnight delays and no missed connections that can cause transportation delays. Our redundancy systems ensure timely delivery of samples even in cases of catastrophic vehicle failure. With us your samples arrive on time every time.
