Questions about our the North of England courier service
How quickly can you collect in the North of England?
In London, 30 minutes to an hour from booking, 24 hours a day. Elsewhere in England, 1 to 1½ hours from our nearest local driver. Where we have no driver nearby, for example Scotland, Wales or the far South West, we quote the collection time with the price.
Can you deliver from the North of England to anywhere in the UK the same day?
Yes. Every booking is a dedicated van or car, so the only limit is driving time. From London, Birmingham is typically 2½–3 hours after collection, Manchester 4–4½, Glasgow or Edinburgh 7½–8½ with a two-driver crew, and Belfast 10–12 hours including the ferry. Times are typical and traffic dependent.
How is the price worked out?
A fixed charge for the first 10 miles, then a rate per mile by vehicle: £40 then £1.30 a mile for a car or small van, £60 then £1.70 for a medium or large van, and £60 then £1.80 for a tail-lift Luton, all plus VAT. You always get the price before anything is booked.
Do you charge extra at night, at weekends or on bank holidays?
No. We work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays, Christmas and New Year, at the same mileage rates. There is no fuel surcharge either. The London Congestion Charge and any road tolls are passed on at cost on one-off jobs; all our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, so there is no ULEZ charge.
Which vehicle do I need?
Tell us the size and weight of what you are sending and we will suggest one. As a guide, a small van carries up to 869 kg, a large van 3 UK or 4 Euro pallets, and a tail-lift Luton 6 UK pallets. The fleet overview lists internal dimensions and payloads.
