Great service!

Bob stepped in at late notice to help us with our transfer when our previous arrangement broke down. He was responsive and clear in his communications (telephone, text, email) including all the necessary paperwork. He liaised with the two clinics and made it happen for us. Fair price based on the short notice he had. Thank you Bob/Life on Ice!

Exceptional, Personal & Professional Service!

LOI/Bob came very highly recommended from my previous clinic, I have to say I found the process itself very overwhelming; thankfully Bob put my mind at ease straight away with his kind nature and superior knowledge of the overall process including additional information on his initial contact email. I immediately felt less pressure and that this wasn't 'just another job' which is super important when going through fertility treatment- everything can feel very sensitive. The service was seamless upto the final shipment date, which I really appreciated. Bob would keep me updated alongside his constant communication with both my new & old clinic- including the paperwork (!!) which again I really appreciated. The price was super reasonable & great value, plus it's important to say Bob will kindly work with you, which is so supportive during a time when you can feel asthough costs are never ending! I knew I could just relax (and focus on other things) whilst the shipment was taken care of. My sample was delivered yesterday, and I can now proceed with treatment- I can't thank Bob enough for his personable & professional service, it meant so much to me and I genuinely appreciate it. I would highly recommend, and very much trust Life on Ice and Bob. Fantastic service!!

Great service, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend

Bob got back to me straight away after my initial enquiry. He liaised between both clinics to arrange pick up and drop off and I felt totally comfortable he was going to manage the transport well, which he did. Price was reasonable which included all insurance for comfort. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Bob was so fantastic from beginning to end of the process. He was so reassuring and also really cared about what he was transporting and understood the anxiety and sensitivities around it. During a stressful process he made everything feel calm and in hand.

Brilliant

Was very nervous having to ship out embryos over to Glasgow. Bob was every ensuring and informative about the transfer. Keeping us up to date on each stage.
I would like to thank 'life on ice' for all they have done

Great efficient service

We used Life on Ice to transfer our gametes from the UK to France. Bob was helpful and responsive at every stage and the whole process was seamless! They also accommodated the transport date at short notice which was great. Definitely recommend.

Smooth process, good communication

Had to transfer my eggs from one clinic to another, both clinics gave me a list of couriers I could use and Life on Ice was on both lists, hence I chose to use them. The whole process was smooth, Life on Ice arranged the time with both clinics, and I get notifications from all parties on the day, which provided a peace of mind for me. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent

Bob and the team at Life on Ice are amazing! I think their prices are very fair for the level of service they provide. Keeping me up to date with how the journey was going and letting me know the precious cargo arrived safely. Could not recommend enough

Great family-run service

Bob was warm and professional and quick to reply to emails. There was good communication/updates along the way. Costs were clear from the outset.
I would definitely recommend.

Good experience

Bob from Life on Ice was helpful from my first phone call and gave me time to ask questions and answered them in an honest and kind way.
I spoke to several courier companies and he came across as the most empathic and doing it for the right reasons.
I feel that the price was fair and though wasn’t the cheapest, when I take into consideration that they travel from Dundee, this was of course going to cost slightly more as my transport was from London to the South East. Bob also managed to reduce this by combining part of the transport cost to London with another job.
Bob communicated well and actioned my request as soon as I had sent him my consent form.
The job was complete within around 2 weeks, which was the shortest possible time frame to sync up the 2 clinics transfer days.
Bob let me know by text as soon as it had arrived safely at the receiving clinic with no issues.
I would recommend this courier service, it’s family run and I would use them again if I needed this service.
Thanks to Bob and the team.

Thank you Life on Ice

From my very first email communication with Bob, I was shown true empathy. The Life on Ice team are so professional and extremely human and caring at the same time. They transported our embryos from London to Glasgow safely, and kept me updated throughout the process. Bob and team really understand the importance of every single step in the transaction, and what it means to you not just as a customer, but as a human. Thank you!

100% recommend

We had a fantastic experience with Life on Ice. We knew right from the first email that this was the right company for us. Every single email and message was friendly and warm. Bob answered our questions quickly and fully, ensuring that we knew exactly what was going to happen and when. He even put up with my pestering for updates and was cheerful and friendly the whole way through.
We felt supported and confident throughout and would happily recommend without hesitation. Thank you so much!

Bob has been really helpful and responsive through the process. We enquired an oversea transportation about a year ago and due to covid situation had to wait for a bit, but very happy that the process went smoothly and arrived into UK. Strongly recommend, could not be happier!
