Where can I get a same day courier in Bedford?
Right here. We collect across Bedford, Kempston, Wixams and the surrounding villages, usually within an hour, and take the consignment straight to its destination. Milton Keynes and Luton Airport are about half an hour away, Cambridge 45 minutes and London around an hour and a quarter. Price fixed at booking.
Between Two Great Roads
Bedford’s big advantage is that it sits between the M1 and the A1, and the A421 dual carriageway connects the town to both. Junction 13 of the M1 is about 15 minutes to the south west, and the A1 at the Black Cat roundabout is a similar distance to the east. For a courier in Bedford that means London, the Midlands, Cambridge and the North are all easy same day runs.
The eastern link is being transformed. The Black Cat roundabout, long one of the worst bottlenecks on the A1, is being rebuilt as a free-flowing junction, and a new 10-mile dual carriageway is being built from there to Caxton Gibbet near Cambridge. National Highways has confirmed the new road will carry the A421 number, effectively extending Bedford’s main road all the way to Cambridge. Until it fully opens, expect roadworks around the Black Cat, which we factor into eastbound timings.
A Growing Town With Plenty to Move
Bedford and the villages around it are growing quickly, with new homes at Wixams, Great Denham and Biddenham, and warehouses and business parks along the A421. Add Bedford Hospital, Cranfield University a few miles west, and the manufacturers and trade suppliers on the town’s industrial estates, and there is a steady flow of urgent work.

Bedford Courier FAQs
Are the Black Cat roadworks affecting deliveries?
They can slow the A1 and A421 around the junction, especially at peak times. We check before dispatch and use alternative routes when that is quicker, so the delivery time we give you already allows for them.
Can you get something to Luton Airport for a flight?
Yes. The airport is around 30 minutes from Bedford via the A6 or M1. Give us the flight time and the handover point and we will time the collection.
Do you cover Kempston, Wixams and Sandy?
Yes, along with Biggleswade, Ampthill, Flitwick, Sharnbrook, Bromham and the villages of north Bedfordshire.
Can you collect from Cranfield University?
Yes. Research samples, equipment and documents can be collected from the campus and delivered to partners or labs. Tell us about any handling requirements when you book.
How quickly can Bedford reach London?
About an hour and a quarter in normal traffic via the M1. Collected by early afternoon, a delivery usually lands the same working day.
