Business and B2B courier services
Open a business account and book by phone or email, with monthly invoicing, scheduled runs and one point of contact who knows your sites. Same day, 24 hours a day, from £40 + VAT per job.
What an account gives you
Everything a one-off booking gets, plus the things that matter when courier work is part of how your business runs.
One number, one contact
Book by phone or email with someone who knows your sites, your opening hours and who to ask for at goods-in. No portal to learn, no call centre.
Monthly invoicing
One itemised invoice a month on 30-day terms, subject to a credit check, with your references and cost centres on every line. No card at the kerb.
Proof of delivery by email
Who signed, where and when, sent to you on every job, with live tracking of the driver on the way.
Priority dispatch, 24/7
Account jobs go to the nearest free driver first, at the same rate at 3am as at 10am. In London that is a collection within 30 minutes to an hour.
Rates that improve with volume
An introductory account rate from the first job, better rates as your monthly volume grows, and a fixed all-inclusive price for regular routes with road charges built in.
Checked, trained and insured
Every driver is DBS-checked; goods-in-transit cover of £20,000 per day and £2 million public liability. Medical drivers are trained for UN3373 Category B and GDP.
One-off booking or account?
Both get the same drivers, the same vehicles and the same 24/7 rates. The account removes the admin.

Who uses a business courier account
Law firms and professional services
Court bundles, signed originals, sealed tenders and client documents between offices, courts and counsel, with a named signature at the other end.
Laboratories, clinics and pharmacies
Scheduled sample runs and pharmacy deliveries on a fixed route price. See our medical courier page for the training behind it.
Printers and creative agencies
Proofs, finished print and exhibition graphics to clients and venues, often overnight for a morning opening.
E-commerce and wholesale
Stock between warehouse, shop and fulfilment partner, and the urgent order that has to be with a customer today.
Manufacturing and engineering
Line-down spare parts, tooling and returns, in the right-sized van, direct to the works.
IT, HR and facilities
Laptops and network kit between sites, and equipment collection from staff who are leaving, described below.
Laptop and IT equipment collection for leavers
When someone leaves, their laptop, phone and security tokens are usually at home. Posting a return kit and chasing it takes weeks and the box arrives when it arrives. We do it the direct way: a DBS-checked driver collects from the leaver's address on the day you agree, usually the same or next day, and delivers straight to your office or IT partner.
- Items checked against your list at the door
- Photo proof of collection and of delivery, with a named signature
- Equipment stays in one vehicle, never in a postal network
- Anywhere in England from our local drivers; the rest of the UK by dedicated van
- Priced from the rate card: £40 + VAT for the first 10 miles in a car
Built for HR and IT managers who need the kit back, wiped and reissued, not a tracking number. Set it up once on your account and send us a leaver's details whenever you need to.
How to open an account
- Tell us about the work. Fill in the form or call. We ask what you send, between where, how often, and whether anything is time-critical, temperature-sensitive or heavy.
- We confirm your rates in writing. An introductory account rate on the mileage card, and a fixed all-inclusive price for any regular route, with road charges built in. Better rates follow as volume grows.
- Start booking. Phone or email your contact and the job is dispatched. Monthly invoicing on 30-day terms starts once the credit check is complete; you can book straight away in the meantime.

Questions about business courier accounts
How do I open a business account?
Fill in the account form or call 07342 942403. We ask for your company details, the kind of work you expect and roughly how many jobs a month, run a credit check for invoicing terms, and confirm your rates in writing. You can book from the first conversation and we open the account alongside.
Is there a minimum volume or monthly spend?
There is no minimum to open an account or to book. Volume affects your rate, not whether we will work with you: a business sending a few jobs a month gets an introductory account rate; regular daily work gets better rates and a fixed route price.
What are your payment terms?
Account customers receive one itemised invoice a month, payable on 30-day terms, subject to a credit check when the account is opened. One-off jobs are paid by card or bank transfer when booked.
How much cheaper is an account than a one-off job?
It depends on your volume and on how regular the work is, so we confirm the figures in writing rather than quote a percentage here. Discounts apply to the mileage rate; charges passed on at cost, such as the Congestion Charge on one-off jobs, are not discounted. On regular routes we quote a single all-inclusive price with road charges built in.
Can you run the same route every day?
Yes. Scheduled daily or weekly runs between your sites, your customers or your lab are priced per route, all-inclusive, and run by the same small group of drivers so they know the sites. See our scheduled multi-drop routes service.
Do you charge more for nights, weekends or bank holidays?
No. Account and one-off customers pay the same mileage rate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. There is no fuel surcharge and no ULEZ charge, because all our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant.
How does the laptop collection service work?
You send us the leaver's address, a contact number and where the equipment should go. A DBS-checked driver collects on the agreed day, usually the same or next day, checks the items against your list, and delivers to your office or IT partner with photo proof of delivery and a named signature.
Can I get a proof of delivery and a report at month end?
Proof of delivery is sent on every job. Your monthly invoice itemises each job with date, addresses, vehicle, your reference and price, which most customers use as their report. Ask if you need it in a particular format.
