Same day courier work in Cardiff runs between the city centre and Cardiff Bay, the University Hospital of Wales at the Heath, Cardiff Airport at Rhoose, and the industrial estates along the A48 and M4 at Llanishen, Ocean Park and St Mellons: stock from an Ocean Park unit to a St David’s retailer, parts to a site in Newport, samples from the Heath to a lab, documents from Cardiff Bay to a client in Swansea.
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.
