Life on Ice was the best courier we could have chosen, highly recommend. Not only were they efficient, on time with delivery and a great price, but we were kept in the loop constantly in terms of communication between the labs and dates for transportation...
Read the full reviewWe transferred our Embryo from the UK to N. Ireland and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Life on Ice for anybody needing to undertake this process. Absolutely couldn't fault Bob and his team. Excellent communication, kind compassionate service and extremely prompt service at a very fair fee.
Read the full reviewWe were recommended Life on Ice from both our outbound and inbound clinic to transport frozen eggs. It was the only provider that both clinics suggested which we believed was a good sign. From our first interaction with Bob, we knew we were in the safest of hands. All communication was clear and concise with a level of empathy that all people in these situations need.
Read the full reviewTrying to chose a courier that would transfer frozen sperm from Southampton to Bristol proved to be another very stressful experience of an already tense process, until we found Life on Ice. We found Bob to be a "breath of fresh air" as they understood and were sympathetic to what we were hoping to achieve...
Read the full reviewFantastic, professional but also very personable and down to earth. Transported my embryos from Manchester to Edinburgh with minimal hassle and kept well informed on progress throughout. So glad I chose Life on Ice.
Great experience with Life on Ice. Bob was very quick as responding and kept us up to date at each stage of what was going on. He took the time to reassure us and helped to bridge the communication gap between us and the clinics... Thank you so much for helping us with our IVF journey.
Read the full reviewHad an excellent experience with Bob and team. From initial contact through to completion, communication was good and we were well briefed on what would happen when.... The experience was very personal which is what you get with a smaller company and you can tell they care. Read the full review
We used Life on Ice to transport sperm from Manchester to Leeds. Bob was quick to respond to our emails, and was very professional and sensitive when asking for updates on a potentially delicate procedure. They communicated with the clinics directly, so I had little involvement here, which was a welcome change! I would use Life on Ice again.
Read the full reviewI used Life on Ice to transfer my embryo from Edinburgh to Aberdeen. Bob was extremely professional, quick to come back with a very competitive quote and everything was extremely easy to book. The paperwork was simple and next thing I knew my embryo had been delivered safely to Aberdeen with a confirmation text from Bob...
Read the full reviewI used Life on Ice to transfer my eggs between clinics. I found the service efficient and simple. Bob kept me informed throughout. All in all very happy with the service.
