ECL euro.COURIER – Your specialist partner for courier services and express logistics
In a globalised economy, time is the most valuable resource. When standard delivery is not enough, ECL euro.COURIER Logistics GmbH takes responsibility for your time-sensitive shipments. Whether highly sensitive documents, business-critical spare parts or large-format freight – we combine speed with maximum reliability.
Do you know what the difference is between a parcel service and a courier service?
The parcel service doesn’t ask why it’s urgent – it just gets on with its round. We, on the other hand, do ask. Because we want to know whether the bracket you’re currently sending from Leipzig to Stuttgart will ensure that a conveyor belt is up and running again first thing tomorrow morning. Or whether the piece of equipment you need at the airport has to be there in two hours’ time because the charter flight is waiting.
We have been a courier service since 1993. We started out with a Trabant in Chemnitz. Today, we have a fleet ranging from cars to 40-tonne lorries, 10 dispatchers working in shifts, and customers who have been calling us time and again for 15 years – not because we’re cheap, but because we get the job done.
Sebastian Fankhänel, our managing director, once summed up what drives us as follows: “When someone calls us, they usually don’t have a run-of-the-mill problem. They have an urgent problem. And that’s exactly what we’re here for.”
As your experienced courier service, we ensure that your goods reach their destination directly, without any detours or transhipment centres. Find out here how we meet your same-day and overnight requirements through intelligent logistics solutions and a comprehensive network.
When do you need a courier service?
There is no checklist that covers every situation. But with 30 years’ experience, we know the moments when companies really rely on us:
Is the production line at risk of coming to a standstill because a supplier part is missing? Does a prototype need to be in Hannover in time for the trade fair, and would a parcel service not arrive until the day after tomorrow?
Do medicines with a short half-life need to reach a hospital within hours? Does a vehicle registration document need to be sent to the buyer today, otherwise they won’t accept the vehicle?
Are fragile, sensitive or high-value goods not suitable for dispatch via a freight forwarder? Is the supply chain to the customer at risk of breaking down?
In all these cases, the difference between a good courier service and a bad one is not the speed on the motorway. It is the response time on the phone, the precision of the collection and the driver’s composure when things get tight.
What courier services are available?
There are various types of courier services, depending on your needs and the desired delivery speed. That’s why we don’t offer standard packages—we offer customized solutions. Here’s an overview of the most important ones:
At ECL24, we offer all these courier services, tailored to your needs. Whether it’s just across town or to the other side of the world – we’ll ensure your parcel arrives safely and on time.
This is how your order is processed at ECL – straightforward and with no surprises
A courier service operates on a clear and efficient principle: as soon as you book a service, we take care of the entire process – from collection to delivery. The process usually works as follows:
- Placing an order
Give us a call – or send us an email. It’s even quicker online. One of our dispatchers will take your order: where from, where to, what, how heavy, and when it needs to arrive. It usually takes less than three minutes. - Collection
A reliable driver will be dispatched straight away to collect your consignment directly from the agreed location – whether that’s your office, warehouse or another site. - Transport
We select the most suitable vehicle depending on the urgency, the goods and the route. For quick journeys within the city, we often use small vans; for longer journeys, we use cars, larger delivery vans or lorries up to 40 tonnes. Direct journeys take us straight to the recipient without any stop-offs, which makes our express transport service particularly efficient. - Delivery
The courier hands over the parcel to the recipient in person. A receipt is often signed to ensure that everything has gone smoothly. - Parcel tracking
Always in the loop. Modern courier services such as ECL euro.COURIER Logistics GmbH allow you to track the status of your delivery in real time. This means you always know exactly where your parcel is at any given moment.
The advantage of a courier service lies in its fast, direct and reliable delivery. Your parcel arrives at its destination without any detours or unnecessary delays – often on the very same day.

What is a courier service?
In a nutshell: A courier service transports parcels directly from the sender to the recipient – in person, quickly and without detours via central warehouses or distribution centres. A courier service combines express & same-day deliveries. This saves time, reduces risks and provides peace of mind. Unlike parcel services, the route taken is always the shortest and quickest. Ideal for documents, prototypes, spare parts or other sensitive or valuable goods.
