Weekend Courier Service, Saturday and Sunday
Our weekend courier service keeps the same van, the same driver and the same fixed price running when most networks stop. Friday afternoon problem? It doesn’t have to wait for Monday. In London and the South East a driver is usually with you within the hour, Saturday or Sunday, and your goods go straight to the address with nothing in between.
- Open every weekend
- DBS-checked drivers
- A real person, 24/7

Is there a courier that delivers on Saturday and Sunday?
Yes. We collect and deliver on Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays exactly as we do midweek: one dedicated van and driver on your job, usually collecting within 30 to 60 minutes of booking in London and the South East, driven direct with no depot and handed over with photo or signature proof. The price is fixed and all-inclusive before the driver sets off, and there’s no Friday cut-off to beat.
What Our Weekend Courier Service Covers
Our weekend courier service moves anything that can’t sit still from Friday teatime to Monday morning, anywhere in mainland UK. Every run is fast, reliable, direct and fairly priced, and a real controller answers the phone at 9pm on a Sunday, not a voicemail promising a call back on Monday.

Why Book a Dedicated Weekend Courier
Friday, 4.40pm. The part, the contract or the stock you need is ready, and the network van has already been. Book a normal parcel now and it’s collected Monday, delivered Tuesday. For a garage that’s a customer’s car off the road all weekend. For a shop it’s two days of empty shelves. For a site team it’s a crew paid to stand around. You don’t lose a weekend. You lose the next two working days as well.
A network parcel is handled four to six times, through two or more depots, and weekend collections often aren’t on the round at all. Ofcom found 68% of people had a delivery problem in six months. Ours is loaded once and unloaded once. If the goods only need to land first thing Saturday, our Friday-night overnight runs cover it, and our same-day versus next-day guide explains when waiting is the cheaper option.
Ring at 8am on Saturday or 9pm on Sunday and a controller answers, fixes the price and sends the nearest driver, usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East. Check the other end before you book, though. Large shops in England and Wales can only open for 6 hours between 10am and 6pm on Sundays, so a store delivery is timed inside that window. Our exhibition and show deliveries work to venue slots the same way.
Match the van to the load. A small van takes around 400kg, an SWB one pallet, an LWB around 1,200kg and lengths up to 4m, and a Luton van with tail lift around 1,000kg with no forklift needed on a quiet Sunday site. One fixed price includes fuel, tolls, ULEZ, the Congestion Charge and ferry fares. Goods-in-transit cover runs to £10,000 per consignment. Collecting from a home? Weekend furniture collections are routine work.
Saturday Delivery Courier or Network Parcel?
A network Saturday parcel is cheaper for a small box that was ready on Friday morning. A dedicated Saturday delivery courier is what you book when the goods are late, large, valuable or have to arrive at a particular time. Here’s how they compare.
| What you need to know | Network weekend parcel | Our dedicated weekend courier |
|---|---|---|
| When it’s collected | Usually Friday or earlier, on the normal round | Saturday, Sunday or a bank holiday, whenever you book |
| Delivery time | A set slot, often before noon or 1pm on Saturday | Planned around your own deadline, any hour |
| Sunday service | Limited, and often not for business addresses | Every Sunday, business or home |
| Size and weight | Often capped at around 25kg to 30kg per parcel | Up to around 1,200kg in an LWB van |
| Handling | Four to six times, through depots | Loaded once, unloaded once |
| Who answers at the weekend | Often an online form until Monday | A real controller, every hour of the year |
Honest trade-off: if a 3kg parcel is packed by Friday lunchtime and Saturday morning is soon enough, a network Saturday service will usually cost you less than a van. We’d rather you choose the right service than the one we happen to sell. Book us when the network has already been, when nothing collects on a Sunday, or when a lost weekend costs more than the courier fee.
Saturday Courier Service and Collections
Saturday is our busiest weekend day, and it runs like a weekday with lighter traffic. Collections across Greater London are usually within 30 to 60 minutes, and long runs often finish sooner than they would on a Friday afternoon.
Typical Saturday work looks like this: trade counter stock moving between branches before the shops get busy, stands and print for a Sunday exhibition opening, fittings for a contractor working through the weekend, and private jobs like auction lots, marketplace purchases and furniture that could only be collected when the seller was home.
Saturday courier collection from a home address needs one thing from you: tell us about stairs, parking and access when you book. A second-floor flat with no lift and a single yellow line outside is fine, as long as the driver knows before arriving. Heavy or awkward items may need two people, and we’ll say so at the quote stage rather than on the doorstep.
Booking for a Saturday run from London? Manchester or Leeds is usually around 4 to 5 hours by van, Bristol around 2.5 to 3, and Birmingham around 2.5. Collect by 1pm and most mainland city deliveries land the same Saturday.
Sunday Courier Service and Deliveries
Sunday is quieter, and it’s fully available. A Sunday delivery courier is usually booked for something that can’t wait for Monday: a part for a plant running a weekend shift, clinical supplies, a signed contract, or a replacement for something that failed on Saturday.
Clear roads help. A run that takes five hours on a Friday afternoon can take four on a Sunday morning, and central London drops are far easier before midday, with the Congestion Charge already inside your quote if it applies.
The thing that catches people out on a Sunday is the receiving end. Large shops in England and Wales (over 280 square metres) can only trade for six consecutive hours between 10am and 6pm, may need council permission to load before 9am, and must close on Easter Sunday and Christmas Day. Small shops, airport and station outlets, and anywhere in Scotland don’t have those limits. Offices and trading estates are often locked all day. Give us a name and a mobile number for whoever is receiving, and the driver rings about 20 minutes out.
Bank Holiday and Christmas Deliveries
We run 365 days a year, including all 8 bank holidays in England and Wales. These are the next dates people book us for, and what to check before each one.
| Date | Bank holiday | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Fri 25 Dec 2026 | Christmas Day | Large shops are closed by law, so confirm a named person will be at the address |
| Mon 28 Dec 2026 | Boxing Day (substitute day) | Many trading estates stay shut until the New Year, so check gate access |
| Fri 1 Jan 2027 | New Year’s Day | Quiet roads, but hospitals and labs run reduced goods-in hours |
| Fri 26 Mar 2027 | Good Friday | Most businesses close, so a Thursday run may suit if Monday is the real deadline |
| Mon 29 Mar 2027 | Easter Monday | Easter Sunday the day before is a closed day for large shops |
Nights, weekends and bank holidays cost a little more, and that’s already inside the fixed quote you agree. Over Christmas the roads are quiet but the delivery end is the risk. A van that arrives to a locked gate hasn’t really delivered, so we confirm who will receive the goods when you book and plan the run around them.
Weekend Courier Prices and Vans
You pay for the van that fits the job and the miles it drives, on a Saturday the same as a Tuesday. Our published guide prices are below, and your final figure is fixed in writing before we collect.
| Vehicle | Guide price | Typical weekend load |
|---|---|---|
| Small van (around 400kg) | from £39 | Documents, a few cartons or a single car part |
| SWB van (1 pallet, around 800kg) | from £49 | Branch stock transfers or a set of exhibition panels |
| LWB van (3 pallets, around 1,200kg, 4m loads) | from £69 | Site materials, long fittings or a full stand build |
| Luton with tail lift (5 pallets, around 1,000kg) | from £89 | Furniture or heavy kit where nobody has a forklift |
Longer journeys work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile depending on vehicle size, distance and urgency. There’s no postcode or rural surcharge, ferry fares are included, and no weekend admin fee appears on the invoice afterwards. If a Sunday price is higher than the Wednesday equivalent, the controller tells you why on the phone.
Want to keep the cost down? Book the smallest van that genuinely fits, give us the real deadline rather than “as soon as possible”, and tell us about access at both ends. Waiting at a locked gate is the one thing that turns a simple weekend run into a long one.
How It Works
Four steps from your first call to a signed delivery, with the price and the access plan agreed before anyone sets off.
Get a Fixed Quote
Give us both postcodes, what’s moving, the deadline and who’ll be there at each end. One all-inclusive figure comes back within minutes, so the weekend cost is settled before anything moves.
Book Your Delivery
Confirm it and you get it in writing: price, collection window, recipient and drop point. Nothing changes unless you change the job, so Monday’s invoice matches Saturday’s quote.
We Collect
A driver arrives, usually within 30 to 60 minutes in London, checks the item count and labels, and texts you the collection time, so you know your goods are on the way.
We Deliver Direct
No depot and no other drops. The driver hands over to the named person, and the photo or signature and the time reach your inbox straight away, even on a Sunday.
Worried It Will Sit Until Monday?
Weekend failures mostly happen in a depot that isn’t working. Yours goes straight from your door to theirs, and if traffic changes the ETA, we tell you before you ask.
Fixed All-Inclusive Quote
Driver, fuel, tolls, ULEZ, weekend hours and ferry fares in one written figure, with nothing added afterwards.
Dedicated Vehicle
Your consignment is the only job on board, so the doors open twice: once to load, once to deliver.
Photo and Signature POD
Recipient’s name, signature or photo and the exact time, emailed the moment the job’s done on a Saturday or Sunday.
24/7 Human Support
A real person answers on Sunday evening, knows where your driver is and can ring them for you.
Missed Friday’s Collection?
Tell us what’s moving, where it’s going and when it has to land. You’ll get a price and a driver on one call, Saturday or Sunday.
Frequently Asked Questions
What people actually search before they book a Saturday or Sunday courier, answered straight.
Do couriers deliver on weekends?
Some do, but most parcel networks only offer a limited Saturday service and very little on a Sunday. We collect and deliver every Saturday, Sunday and bank holiday using a dedicated van, so a weekend job works exactly like a weekday one. In London and the South East a driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes of booking.
Do any couriers deliver on Sundays?
Yes. We run every Sunday, to business and home addresses anywhere in mainland UK. Sunday is often the quickest day for a long run because the roads are clear. The main thing to check is the receiving end, because large shops can only trade for six hours between 10am and 6pm and many offices are locked.
Do couriers deliver on bank holidays, including Good Friday?
We do, 365 days a year, including Good Friday, Easter Monday, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Bank holidays cost a little more, and that’s already inside the fixed quote you see first. Tell us who will receive the goods when you book, because plenty of sites are closed or unstaffed on those days.
Do any couriers collect on a Saturday?
Yes. Most networks only collect Saturday parcels on the Friday before, but a dedicated courier collects on the Saturday itself, whenever you book. A driver is usually with you within 30 to 60 minutes in London and the South East, and further afield we give you an honest ETA before you commit.
How much does a weekend courier cost?
It depends mainly on the van and the distance. Our guide prices start from £39 for a small van, £49 for an SWB, £69 for an LWB and £89 for a Luton, and longer runs work out at roughly £1.10 to £1.80 per mile depending on vehicle size, distance and urgency. Weekends cost a little more, and that’s inside the fixed quote.
Can goods collected on Friday be delivered on Saturday?
Yes, and there’s no Friday cut-off. We can collect on Friday evening and deliver first thing on Saturday, or collect on Saturday morning and deliver the same day. Either way one van does the whole run with no depot stop, so nothing sits in a closed hub over the weekend waiting for Monday’s sort.
Need a Van This Saturday or Sunday?
One call, one fixed price and a dedicated van on the way. Weekends and bank holidays included, no account needed.
