Business Courier Service for Every Sector
A business courier service that quotes before it moves, so you can price the job on to your own client. Parts between sites, samples to a lab, stock to a shop, a signed contract to the other side of town: one van, one driver, proof your customer will accept. No account needed for the first job.
- Insured to £10,000 per consignment
- DBS-checked drivers
- A real person, 24/7
Quote for Your Business
Send the collection, the delivery and the deadline. A controller prices it back to you, not a form queue.
Do you work with businesses?
Yes. Most of what we carry is commercial work, from one urgent part to a weekly round of drops for a supplier. There’s no minimum volume and no account to open first. You get a fixed price before collection, a dedicated van, and photo or signature proof of delivery you can forward to your own customer. In London a driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes. Send regularly and the work can move onto a contract account with one monthly invoice.

Time-critical freight, fragile and high-value goods, and paperwork that has to be signed for. Every one gets secure single handling: one driver loads it, keeps it and hands it over. Each sector below has its own page with the detail it cares about.
Manufacturing
Line-down parts, tooling and just-in-time runs between plants and suppliers, at whatever hour the shift pattern needs.
Automotive
Parts between dealerships, factors and garages, plus panels and components that can’t wait for a next-day network.
Healthcare and NHS
Samples, pharmacy items, notes and equipment between hospitals, labs, clinics and practices.
Legal and Financial
Bundles, deeds and signed originals to courts, chambers and clients, delivered by hand with a timed signature.
Construction
Materials, fixings, drawings and plant parts to sites, worked around delivery windows and site inductions.
Retail and eCommerce
Stock between branches, supplier deliveries and same day orders out to your own customers.
Print and Media
Proofs, artwork, printed runs and production kit, collected the moment the press finishes.
Events and Exhibitions
Stands, samples, AV and signage delivered to the venue’s load-in slot rather than sometime that day.
Plenty of our commercial work sits outside those eight. Professional firms send contracts and laptops between offices. Laboratories move samples and instruments. Hospitality and food businesses restock between sites, with temperature-sensitive work on our chilled service. Facilities and property managers send keys, access fobs and spares across a portfolio. Schools and colleges move exam papers and IT kit. If your sector isn’t listed, the only questions that matter are what the item is and where it has to be by when.
Why a Business Courier Service Beats a Network
Your client doesn’t care whose van broke down. When a part misses the 2pm slot, a paid engineer stands idle, a site gang goes home, or a tender lands after the deadline and simply isn’t opened. The cost lands on you, not the carrier. Small firms feel it hardest: of the UK’s 5.7 million private sector businesses, 5.64 million have fewer than 50 staff, and most have no logistics team to chase a missing delivery.
A parcel network sorts your box through depots and hands it on four to six times before it arrives. That’s fine for stock that can wait. It isn’t fine for a signed contract. Ofcom’s 2025 research found 68% of people had a delivery problem in six months, delays being the most common. A B2B courier service works the other way round: loaded once, unloaded once, no depot. Not sure which suits your volume? Weigh up contract or one-off bookings first.
So what happens when you call? A real person answers, day or night. In London and the South East a DBS-checked driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes. Further out, we dispatch the nearest suitable vehicle and give you an honest ETA before you commit. Your goods travel in a dedicated van with nothing else on board. You get updates by phone or SMS, and photo or signature proof with the recipient’s name and time the moment it’s handed over.
The van matches the load, from a small van for a box of files to a 1,200kg LWB for machinery. The fixed quote covers fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares. Goods-in-transit cover runs to £10,000 per consignment, with £1,000,000 public liability. Read what our cover includes. Same journey every week? A fixed weekly run gets an agreed rate and one monthly invoice, and multi-drop delivery rounds cover several customers from one collection.
B2B Delivery: Site to Site, Supplier to Customer
Most B2B delivery falls into one of seven shapes, and each one has a service built for it. Pick the row that looks like your job and you’ll know what to ask for.
| What you are moving | Typical job | Service |
|---|---|---|
| Between your own sites | Stock, equipment or paperwork shuttled between branches, depots or offices | Dedicated van or contract runs |
| Supplier to your customer | A part or order delivered direct, with the proof sent to you | Urgent delivery |
| Several customers in one day | A round of trade or retail drops from one collection | Multi-drop delivery |
| Something stopping work | Line down, theatre waiting, site at a standstill | Emergency service |
| Heavy or palletised goods | Machinery, cases or pallets that need a tail lift | Pallet service |
| IT and office equipment | Laptops and hardware to staff, offices or data centres | Laptop delivery |
| Ready for a morning start | Collected after hours, delivered before the other end opens | Overnight runs |
Opening a Business Courier Account
You don’t need one to start. Most business customers book a single job first, and an account only makes sense once there’s a pattern to the work.
Your First Job
No forms, no credit check and no spend threshold. Call or send the quote form, take the fixed all-inclusive price, and book. A small business courier job for a sole trader is handled exactly like work for a national firm: same van, same driver checks, same proof.
When It Becomes Regular
Once the same journey happens every week, a fresh quote each time stops making sense. We agree a schedule and a rate, keep a consistent pool of drivers who learn your sites, and move you onto one consolidated monthly invoice with a run-by-run breakdown and rolling 30-day terms.
Paperwork You Can Use
Every job ends with a photo or signature, the recipient’s name and a timestamp, emailed on completion and kept on file. Forward it to your customer, attach it to your own invoice, or keep it for the query that turns up three weeks later.
Delivering to Your Customers’ Sites
Business addresses come with rules a house doesn’t have. Tell us about them when you book and the driver turns up with what the site needs, rather than being turned away at the gate.
Worth Telling Us When You Book
- Gate lists, visitor passes or a booking reference the gatehouse will ask for
- Site inductions, hi-vis or safety boots on construction and industrial sites
- Loading bay hours, goods-in cut-off times and whether a slot has to be pre-booked
- The named person who signs, and a second name if they might be at lunch
- Goods lifts, kerbside restrictions or red routes at either end
- Anything confidential, so it’s handed only to the named recipient and never left with reception
Goods-in closes at 3pm and it’s already 1.30? Say so on the phone. We’ll tell you straight whether the run is realistic before you pay for it, and if traffic changes the ETA on the way, we tell you before you ask. If the driver does reach a locked gate, they ring you from outside, not after returning to base.
How It Works
Four steps from the first call to a signed proof of delivery in your inbox, with the price settled at the first.
Get a Fixed Quote
Send both addresses, what the item is, its rough size and the deadline. One all-inclusive figure comes back within minutes, so you can quote it on to your client with confidence.
Book Your Delivery
Confirm and you get it in writing: price, vehicle and ETA, plus any site details we’ve noted. Your recipient knows who is coming and when, so goods-in is ready.
We Collect
A driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes in London. The consignment is checked against the booking and secured in the van, so it arrives exactly as it left.
We Deliver Direct
No depot, no transfers and no detours for other customers. It’s handed to the named person, and timestamped photo or signature proof is emailed to you straight away.
What a Business Courier Costs
Published starting prices by vehicle, so you can budget before you call. Longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile, depending on vehicle size, distance and urgency.
| Vehicle | Guide price | Load space (L × W × H) | Payload | Business loads it suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | from £39 | 1.3 × 1.2 × 1.0 m | Around 400kg | Document boxes, laptops, a few cartons of samples |
| SWB van | from £49 | 2.1 × 1.2 × 1.4 m | Around 800kg | Spare parts, IT kit for an office, a shop restock |
| LWB van | from £69 | 3.3 × 2.0 × 1.7 m | Around 1,200kg | Machinery, 3m pipe and timber lengths, exhibition stands |
| Luton van (tail lift) | from £89 | 4.2 × 2.0 × 2.1 m | Around 1,000kg | Palletised stock to sites without a forklift, office moves |
The price moves with the miles, the vehicle, how soon it has to go and any waiting time you’ve told us about. Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost a little more, and that sits inside the fixed quote rather than on the invoice afterwards. Your postcode doesn’t change it, whether the run is Croydon to Canary Wharf or London to Aberdeen, and ferry fares are included.
Yes, and we’d rather say so. A boxed order under 30kg that can arrive in two or three days will usually cost less through a parcel network. Once the item is urgent, heavy, valuable, or has a customer waiting on it today, a dedicated van is the safer buy and often the cheaper one once a missed deadline is counted.
Worried a Missed Delivery Costs You the Client?
Most late deliveries start in a depot. Yours never goes near one, and the price we confirm is the price you pay, so the figure you quoted your client still stands.
Fixed All-Inclusive Quote
Fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares sit inside the written figure. Nothing is added after delivery.
Dedicated Vehicle
Your consignment travels alone from your door to theirs, with no co-loading and no depot transfer.
Photo and Signature POD
The recipient’s name, a photo or signature and the time, emailed at handover and kept on file.
24/7 Human Support
A real person answers day and night, bank holidays included. You speak to the controller, not a chatbot.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions business owners type before they book, answered straight.
What is a B2B courier?
A B2B courier carries goods from one business to another rather than to a private home. That means deliveries to offices, sites, shops and labs, often with a named recipient, a goods-in window and proof the sender can forward to their own customer. Ours does it with a dedicated van, so the item is loaded once and unloaded once.
What is the best small business courier service?
It depends on what you send. For boxed orders under 30kg that can take two or three days, a parcel network is usually cheapest. For anything urgent, heavy, valuable or needed by a customer today, a dedicated same day van costs more per job but removes the risk of a missed deadline. Many small firms use both.
Can we open a business courier account and be invoiced?
Yes, once the work is regular. We agree a rate and schedule, then send one consolidated monthly invoice with a run-by-run breakdown and proof of delivery attached, on rolling 30-day terms. You don’t need an account for one-off jobs, which are quoted and booked individually.
How much does a business courier cost?
Our guide prices start from £39 in a Small Van, £49 in an SWB, £69 in an LWB and £89 in a Luton with tail lift. Longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile, depending on vehicle size, distance and urgency. Every quote is fixed and includes fuel, tolls, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge.
Is there a minimum number of jobs to use you?
No. A single delivery is a normal booking, and plenty of our business customers start with one urgent job. Nothing about the price, the vehicle or the proof of delivery depends on how much you send with us.
What happens if a delivery to a business can’t be completed?
The driver calls you while still outside, not after driving back. You decide together whether to wait, try another entrance, deliver to a different address or bring the item back. Either way you know the same day, and any waiting time is agreed with you before it’s added.
