The 2,000km Relay: How SZ-HK Errand Runners Saved a Business Bid

In the corporate world, deadlines are non-negotiable—especially when it comes to “Tender Submissions.”

Last Friday, we were contacted by a construction firm in Beijing. They were collaborating with a major Hong Kong real estate developer and needed to submit a physical bid by Monday at 12:00 PM in Fortress Hill, Hong Kong. With the weekend approaching and over 2,000 kilometers in between, standard international couriers were too risky.

This is where Zerrand’s Cross-Border Errand Service stepped in to bridge the gap.

1. The Strategy: Combining Express Courier with Personal Hand-Carry

We designed a “Relay Plan”:
The client sent the documents via SF Express (Air Freight) from Beijing to our Shenzhen hub. On Monday morning, our runner provided 1-on-1 personalized delivery to bypass the unpredictable delays of standard cross-border logistics.

The client was professional and sent the package early, ensuring it reached us by Sunday afternoon. We immediately prepared the items for the final leg of the journey.

2. A Heavy Responsibility: 5kg of Documentation

When we received the package, it was far heavier than expected.
Instead of a few thin sheets of paper, we were handling two massive volumes of tender documents weighing over 5kg.

For Shenzhen-HK document delivery, this was a “heavyweight” task. We ensured the package was waterproofed and reinforced to prevent any corner damage during transit.

3. Mission Accomplished: AIA Tower, Fortress Hill

At 9:00 AM on Monday, our runner set off from Shenzhen.

• 10:15 AM: Cleared Futian Customs smoothly.
• 11:00 AM: Arrived at the AIA Tower in Fortress Hill.
• 11:10 AM: Hand-delivered the documents to the recipient.

The client messaged us shortly after: “Perfect timing, pleasure doing business with you.” Delivering the documents an hour before the deadline provided the client with the peace of mind they needed for their multi-million dollar bid.
