Overview

RAM Couriers, also presented as RAM Hand-to-Hand Couriers, is a South African courier and logistics company founded in 1988 by Nathan Lazarus as a family-run courier business. It operates a nationwide footprint with 40+ local hubs, 2,000+ vehicles, 75+ bikes and 20,000 m² of warehousing space at 27 Wrench Road, Isando, Johannesburg. The company handles over 100,000 deliveries daily and offers same-day, next-day and economy road delivery nationally and internationally, alongside distribution and supply chain solutions for sectors including beauty & cosmetics, financial, IT & cellular, pharmaceutical and retail.

History

RAM started small. In 1988, Nathan Lazarus founded what was then a family-run courier business with a straightforward promise - Hand-to-Hand delivery. Today, RAM delivers nationwide and handles over 100,000 deliveries daily and is run by the second generation of the Lazarus family, David and Graeme Lazarus. Along the way, RAM became the courier of choice for the sectors where precision matters most. Vodacom awarded RAM their courier contract in 2001 and has renewed it several times since. When Cell C needed their entire delivery operation taken over in 2008, they called RAM, with full migration within two weeks' notice. Today, RAM moves roughly 62% of the country's telecoms deliveries and services every major retail centre nationwide.
