Pet Mail
Our story

Two Decades. One Promise.

We started in 2004 moving a single beagle from Boston to Berlin. Today we move 50,000 shipments a year — pets, freight, and everything between — but the promise hasn't changed: it gets there safely, or it doesn't ship.

Our story

Built by movers,
for the movement of everything.

Pet Mail Logistics was founded by Margaret Chen in 2004 after her own dog spent 14 hours stranded at a transit airport. She started a one-person pet relocation company with a simple rule: never ship an animal you wouldn't ship your own.

Twenty years later, that rule still anchors a company that moves cattle to the Middle East, refinery vessels across the Atlantic, life-saving biologics from clinical sites to patients, and yes — somebody's beloved beagle to Berlin every single week.

We are 1,200 people across 23 offices on six continents, and somehow still feel like a small company that picks up the phone.
