Same day courier work in Belfast runs between the city centre, the Titanic Quarter and the harbour, Belfast City and International airports, the Royal Victoria and Belfast City hospitals, Queen’s University, and the industrial estates at Mallusk, Duncrue and Dargan: parts to a unit at Mallusk, stock from a Duncrue warehouse to a Victoria Square retailer, samples from the Royal to a lab, documents from Donegall Square to a client in Lisburn. Jobs to and from Great Britain go by road and ferry, usually overnight; see also our Northern Ireland page.
Every job is one dedicated van and one driver. The driver collects within 45 minutes to an hour of booking, often faster, checks the load, drives direct to the delivery address and hands over with a signature and a photo, texted to you as proof of delivery. The van is GPS tracked throughout and our two operators are on the phone 24 hours a day.
