Dartford Delivery Price
DA postcode and destination is all we need. A fixed price comes back quickly.
Can I get a courier from Dartford today?
Yes. A driver is usually at your Dartford address within the hour and takes the job directly to its destination, north of the river or south. Central London is about 45 minutes away, Essex is straight over the crossing, and the Kent coast is under two hours. The fixed price includes any Dartford Crossing charge.
Living Next to the Busiest Crossing
Dartford’s position is its strength and its challenge. The Queen Elizabeth II Bridge and the tunnels beside it carry the M25 across the Thames, linking Kent to Essex, and they are the only fixed road crossing of the Thames east of the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels. For a courier in Dartford that means Thurrock, Basildon, Brentwood and the whole of Essex are minutes away, but also that one breakdown on the approaches can lock up the town.
Anyone using the crossing between 6am and 10pm has to pay the Dart Charge, including at weekends, and according to GOV.UK it must be paid by midnight the following day or a fine can follow. We handle that for every job that crosses. It is included in the fixed price you agree, and you never need to remember to pay it.
A Town That Keeps Growing
Around Dartford, the land along the river has been changing fast. Bluewater draws shoppers and deliveries from across the South East, Ebbsfleet’s new garden city is still being built out, and the business parks at Crossways and along the river host distribution centres, trade suppliers and offices. Darent Valley Hospital serves a large area and moves samples and equipment every day.

Dartford Courier FAQs
Do I need to pay the Dart Charge for my delivery?
No. If our route uses the crossing, we pay the Dart Charge and include it in the fixed price. There is nothing to pay separately and no risk of a fine for you.
What happens if the Dartford Crossing is closed or jammed?
We check the crossing before dispatch. If it is badly delayed, we look at routes through the Blackwall or Silvertown tunnels and tell you the realistic time straight away.
Can you deliver to a store at Bluewater?
Yes. Give us the store, the service yard or delivery entrance, and a contact name. Bluewater has set delivery routes and times, so the more detail you provide, the faster the handover.
Do you cover Greenhithe, Swanscombe and Ebbsfleet?
Yes, along with Stone, Crayford, Wilmington, Longfield and Northfleet. Every DA1 and DA2 address is within our usual collection window.
Is Dartford to central London quick?
About 45 minutes off-peak via the A2, more at rush hour. A collection by mid-afternoon usually arrives the same working day.
