Our Courier Services Across the UK
Our courier services cover anything from a signed contract to a Luton van of freight, collected from your door and driven straight to the delivery address. Every job is fast, reliable, direct and fairly priced, and the van carries nothing but your goods, so nobody else’s drop ever delays yours.
Same Day Courier
The core service. One van, one driver, one job, usually collected within the hour and driven direct, with no depots or sorting hubs in between.
Same day courierUrgent Courier
For deadlines measured in hours. We quote, allocate a driver and get wheels moving while you’re still on the phone.
Urgent courier serviceEmergency Courier
Line down, theatre waiting, site stopped. The jobs where the cost of the delivery stopped mattering an hour ago.
Emergency courier serviceChilled & Refrigerated Courier
Temperature-sensitive consignments driven direct, keeping time out of control as short as possible. No hub, no overnight trailer, no loading bay in July.
Chilled courierMedical & Pharmaceutical Courier
Samples, pathology, medicines and clinical kit moved between wards, labs, pharmacies and homes, with a signed handover at every step.
Medical courier serviceDocument & Legal Courier
Signed contracts, completion papers and court bundles placed in the right hands, with proof, because a missed filing can’t be undone with an apology.
Document courier serviceCar Parts & Automotive Courier
One missing part idles a whole bay. We run parts from factors, dealers and stores straight to the technician holding the spanner.
Car parts courierFurniture Courier
Sofas, beds, mattresses and wardrobes, single item or a whole room, with blankets, straps and a driver who helps carry.

Airport courier serviceeCommerce & Retail Delivery
Stock gaps between warehouse and store, and orders you promised for today, moved at the speed your customers were told to expect.
eCommerce deliveryEvents, Print & Exhibition Courier
Build days, replacement panels and late-night breakdowns. A late delivery to a stand isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a show that can’t open.
Events courierWeekend Courier
Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday collection and delivery, run exactly like a weekday. No reduced round, no Monday backlog to join.
Weekend courierOvernight & Out-of-Hours Courier
Collected this evening, delivered before your customer opens. Handy when the working day ended before the job did.

Man and van serviceWho we work for
Industries We Serve
Time-critical freight, fragile and high-value goods, and paperwork that can’t be late. Each load gets secure single handling, strapped and blanketed by the one driver who takes it from collection to handover.
A Courier Service Built Around Your Deadline
Picture a pallet of stock booked on a cheap network for Tuesday. It turns up Thursday. The shelf has sat empty for two days, the customer has bought elsewhere and someone in your office has spent an afternoon on hold. The delivery was cheap. The delay wasn’t. Most businesses only price a courier service against the fee, when the real comparison is against what happens if it’s late.
A network parcel is scanned, sorted and re-loaded at every hub, and that handling is where things go missing. In Ofcom’s 2025 research, 68% of people reported a delivery problem in six months. Our single-vehicle van service loads your goods once and unloads them once, nothing in between. If you’re weighing up providers, our guide to choosing a courier company lists the questions worth asking first.
Call at 6am or midnight and the same thing happens. A real person answers, fixes the price, and sends the nearest driver, usually with you inside 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East. Long runs are planned honestly: GB rules cap a driver at 10 hours of driving a day, so you get a real ETA before you commit. Our guide to typical journey times explains the maths, and deadline-critical urgent runs get a direct line to the controller.
The van fits the load: around 400kg in a small van, up to around 1,200kg in an LWB, with a tail-lift Luton when nobody has a forklift. Quotes are fixed and include fuel, tolls, ferry fares, ULEZ and the £18 daily Congestion Charge. Nights and weekends cost a little more, inside that same figure. Cover runs to £10,000 per consignment, the full cost breakdown is published, and regular scheduled runs lock in an agreed rate.
Which Courier Service Do You Actually Need?
Three questions settle it almost every time. Answer them on the phone and we’ll name the service, the van and the price in one go.
When does it have to be there?
A fixed deadline today means an urgent or emergency booking, the jobs most people mean when they search for express delivery. Today but flexible is a standard same day run. First thing tomorrow suits an overnight collection. The same pickup every week is a contract run, priced once rather than every morning.
What is actually in the box?
Clinical samples need medical handling and a signed chain of custody. Signed originals need a named recipient and proof. Anything breakable or expensive needs fragile handling and a declared value. Pallets need a tail lift or a forklift at both ends, so tell us which you’ve got.
How big and how heavy?
A single box fits a small van. A few cartons or a mid-sized machine part suits an SWB. Long or awkward loads want an LWB, and lengths up to 4.2 metres need an XLWB. Furniture and heavy freight that can’t be lifted by hand go on a Luton with a tail lift.
How It Works
Four steps from first call to proof of delivery, with one fixed price agreed at the very first.
Get a Fixed Quote
Call 020 4525 2039 or use the form with both postcodes, what’s moving and when. You get one all-inclusive figure back, so the full cost is known before anything moves.
Book Your Delivery
Say yes and it’s confirmed in writing: price, vehicle, driver ETA and any references needed at either end. Nobody at goods-in gets a surprise.
We Collect
A driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East. Goods are checked against the booking, then strapped and blanketed for the trip.
We Deliver Direct
No depot, no other customers’ parcels, no detours. The van goes straight to the address, and photo or signature proof with a timestamp reaches your inbox at handover.
Have This Ready and Your Quote Takes Seconds
- Collection and delivery postcodes, with a name and number at each end
- What’s moving: rough size, weight and quantity (a phone photo helps)
- Timing: ready now, or the deadline we’re working to
- Access: loading bay, stairs, forklift, tail lift needed, site induction or booking reference
What a Courier Service Costs
Real starting prices by van size, so you can budget before you call. Longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile, depending on the van, the distance and how urgent the job is.
| Vehicle | Guide price | Typical payload | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | from £39 | Around 400kg | Documents, parcels, IT kit, spares |
| SWB van | from £49 | Around 800kg | Cartons, stock, smaller machine parts |
| LWB van | from £69 | Around 1,200kg | Long loads, exhibition kit, shelving |
| XLWB van | Price on request | Around 1,000kg | Lengths up to 4.2 metres |
| Luton (tail lift) | from £89 | Around 1,000kg | Pallets and furniture, no forklift needed |
What moves the price: the miles, the van size, how soon it has to go and the time of day. What doesn’t: your postcode. There’s no rural or remote-area surcharge anywhere in mainland UK. Waiting time at a busy goods-in, or an extra stop, is only charged when it’s been agreed and priced with you first.
Then be honest about the job. A small, replaceable parcel that can arrive on Thursday is cheaper on a network, and we’ll tell you so. Once the deadline is today, or the item is fragile, valuable or holding up a team, a dedicated van usually costs less than the delay it prevents.
Worried It Won’t Turn Up on Time?
That fear comes from being one stop out of forty. Here you’re the only stop, and the price we confirm is the price you pay.
Fixed All-Inclusive Quote
Fuel, Congestion Charge, ULEZ, tolls and ferry fares sit inside the written figure. Nothing reaches the invoice that wasn’t agreed first.
Dedicated Vehicle
Your consignment travels alone. Loaded once, unloaded once, never swapped between vans or left on a depot floor overnight.
Photo and Signature POD
Recipient’s name, the time, and a photo or signature, emailed at handover and kept on file in case you need it later.
24/7 Human Support
A real person answers day and night, bank holidays included. If traffic changes the ETA, we tell you before you ask.
Courier Services Near You, Wherever That Is
We’re based in Croydon and run nationally, so "near me" means a driver routed to your door, not a depot you drive to. Across Greater London and the South East a collection usually starts within 30 to 60 minutes. Further out, we send the nearest available vehicle and give you an honest ETA before you book. Islands reached by ferry are covered too, with the fare built into the quote.
London, Every Borough
All 32 boroughs and the City, day or night, from Docklands towers to Croydon’s trading estates.

Match the Service to the Vehicle
Whichever service you book, it runs on one of five vans. We recommend the smallest one that does the job properly, so you never pay for empty space.
Small Van
Documents, single parcels and small boxes. The default for most urgent city-centre work.
SWB Van
Several cartons and most everyday business consignments, up to around 800kg.
LWB Van
Long loads, exhibition kit and anything that won’t fit a standard van floor.
XLWB Van
Lengths up to 4.2 metres and bulky, high-volume loads that need extra floor.
Luton with Tail Lift
Palletised freight, furniture and heavy items that can’t be lifted by hand.
| Vehicle | Load space (L × W × H) | Max weight | Typically carries |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small van | 1.3 × 1.2 × 1.0 m | 400kg | Urgent documents, small boxes and compact components |
| SWB van | 2.1 × 1.2 × 1.4 m | 800kg | Multiple boxes, stock and smaller equipment loads |
| LWB van | 3.3 × 2.0 × 1.7 m | 1,200kg | Larger consignments and loads needing more internal space |
| XLWB van | 4.2 × 1.2 × 1.75 m | 1,000kg | Longer, bulkier or higher-volume loads |
| Luton van (tail lift) | 4.2 × 2.0 × 2.1 m | 1,000kg | Bulky freight and palletised consignments where access allows |
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions people type before booking a courier, answered straight.
What is a courier service?
A courier service collects goods from one address and delivers them to another, faster and with more care than standard post. Ours is the dedicated kind: one van and one driver take your consignment straight from collection to the recipient, with no depot stops. You get a fixed price first and photo or signature proof at handover.
How much does a courier service charge?
It depends on distance, van size, urgency and time of day. Our guide prices start at £39 for a small van and £89 for a Luton with tail lift, and longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile. The quote is fixed and already includes fuel, tolls, ferry fares, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge.
Which courier service is cheapest?
For a small, non-urgent parcel, a national parcel network is usually the cheapest option, and we’ll say so. A dedicated courier costs more per job but can work out cheaper overall when a late or damaged delivery would stop work, lose a sale or miss a legal deadline. Tell us the job and we’ll point you to the better-value choice.
Is there a courier service available in my area?
Almost certainly, if you’re in mainland UK. We route a van to your address rather than working from local depots. In London and the South East a driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes. Elsewhere we send the nearest available vehicle and confirm an honest ETA before you book, with no postcode or rural surcharge.
Do courier services provide boxes?
On a dedicated van, many items don’t need a box at all. Furniture, equipment, framed art and pallets travel blanketed and strapped by the driver, because nothing else is in the vehicle to knock against them. Loose small items and documents should still be packed or bagged before collection. If you’re unsure, describe the load when you book and we’ll advise.
How long does a courier service take?
A dedicated courier takes the collection time plus the drive, nothing more. In London and the South East collection is usually within 30 to 60 minutes of booking, and from there it’s hours, not days. Longer runs depend on miles and traffic, so you get a realistic ETA before you commit. We run 24/7, so there’s no same day cut-off.
