For production managers, buyers and supply-chain teams
Same-Day Courier for UK Manufacturers
When a line is down or a part is missing, the cheapest pallet network is the most expensive option. We give manufacturers a dependable same-day option for the jobs that matter — plus a flexible tier for everything that doesn't.
Collection and delivery are required — a town, city or postcode is enough.
Same-Day / Urgent

What we typically move for manufacturing clients
Capability — not a customer list. If your job fits any of these descriptions, we can quote it today.
- Production components and sub-assemblies between sites
- Tooling, jigs and fixtures to and from suppliers
- Prototypes and engineering samples
- Returns of faulty stock to suppliers under warranty
- Maintenance, spares and consumables to plant
The problems we actually solve
Line-down emergencies
A single missing component can stop a shift. Standard next-day networks won't cut it — you need a van moving often within 60–90 minutes, subject to availability, location and booking confirmation.
Unpredictable supplier deliveries
When an inbound delivery slips, the cost of waiting is much higher than the cost of a same-day collection from the supplier.
Tooling that has to come back
Specialist tooling and jigs need a courier who understands chain of custody, signed handovers and careful loading — not a parcel network.

Urgent dispatch (60–90 mins)
Same-day collection across the UK. Direct van — no depot stops, no overnight hub. The unit goes straight from supplier to your goods-in.
Flexible scheduled runs
If it's needed this week but not today, our Flexible tier prices the same job around 30% lower. Useful for tooling returns, sub-assembly transfers and inter-site moves.
Recurring shuttles
If you run the same lane two or more times a week, we'll quote it as a fixed contract — see recurring deliveries.

Manufacturing courier — FAQs
Can you collect from a supplier and deliver direct to our line?▼
Yes. Once you raise the booking with the supplier's address, contact name and a collection reference, we collect direct and deliver to your goods-in with signed proof. No depot, no double-handling.
Do you handle heavy or awkward items like tooling and jigs?▼
Yes. Our small-van rate covers items up to ~400kg / 1.4m³ with a tail-lift or pump truck where required. For items over 40kg per piece we recommend our 2-Man service for safe loading at both ends.
What's the cost difference between urgent and flexible?▼
Car rates for urgent same-day work start at £1.25/mile with a £55 minimum. Flexi7 provides collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where available.
Do you provide a Goods-in-Transit certificate for manufacturing clients?▼
Yes. We carry up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit cover and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed to your procurement team before the first job.
Can we book on account rather than paying by card each time?▼
Yes. Once you've passed a standard credit check (or made an opening deposit) we open a 30-day invoiced credit account. One consolidated PDF and CSV invoice per month, with PO references printed on every line.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?▼
Yes. Same-day urgent collection is available nationwide. We operate from the Midlands, which keeps us central for cross-country runs to London, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Newcastle and Scotland.
