Same day delivery starts with the collection. Parcel networks collect on a round, often the next working day within a long time window, and then the item waits in a depot. With us, the moment you book a driver is sent to you: 30 to 45 minutes across the 32 London boroughs and the Home Counties, 45 minutes to an hour anywhere else.
Because the driver who collects is the driver who delivers, there is no depot in between. Your item is in one van, driven direct, and handed over the same day. See our same day courier service for how the whole job runs.
When you need someone to collect same day, couriers who come straight to you save the wait for a network round. Our collection times:
| Where we collect | Collection time |
|---|---|
| All 32 London boroughs | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire | 30 to 45 minutes |
| Everywhere else in the UK | 45 minutes to an hour |
For a same day parcel collection, the driver comes to the door, checks the label and the parcel, and takes it straight to the recipient. It suits:
Not just parcels: we collect furniture, boxes, pallets and large items in long wheelbase and Luton vans. See large item courier and pallet delivery.
Our same day collection courier service is run by two operators on the phones 24 hours a day and 30 drivers across the UK. When you call or message, an operator takes the details, gives you the price, and sends a driver. Those are the same day couriers who collect from you, not a booking app or a call centre.
You can have the collection made from your own address or from a supplier, seller or relative: give us their name and number and we arrange it. Read how to arrange a courier collection for what to have ready.
Phone 020 8202 2008 or WhatsApp 07507 612919, any time, with both postcodes and what is being collected.
Vehicle and price before anything is booked, plus VAT.
The driver checks labels, quantities and condition and helps load.
One job per driver, GPS tracked, with our operators phoning updates. Signature and photo on handover, texted to you.
Within 30 to 45 minutes of booking across the 32 London boroughs and Hertfordshire, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire, and within 45 minutes to an hour elsewhere in the UK. That applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, because two operators and 30 drivers across the UK are working around the clock.
No. Same day collection here means a courier driver comes to your address, or any address you name, picks the item up and drives it to the delivery address the same day. It is not a shop’s click-and-collect service, where you collect an online order from a store yourself.
Yes. Give us the collection address, the name and phone number of the person handing it over, and what they are giving the driver. The driver checks the item at collection, and you can have it delivered to yourself or to any other address in the UK.
The same as any job: £40 for the first 10 miles then £1.25 a mile in a car or small van, or £60 then £1.80 a mile in a long wheelbase or Luton van, plus VAT. There is no extra charge for collecting the same day, at night or at the weekend.
Tell us as soon as you know, ideally before the driver sets off, so the collection time can be set to when it is ready. Give us a phone number for the person at the collection address so our operators can speak to them directly if anything changes.
Call 020 8202 2008 or send a WhatsApp with the collection and delivery postcodes, what is being collected with rough size and weight, and when it is ready. We confirm the price and the vehicle, and a driver is on the way. Nothing is booked until you say yes.
