    festive period courier FAQs

    Which days do you run?

    We cover most of the period subject to driver availability. Send your dates and we will confirm exactly what is bookable.

    Is there a last booking date?

    For the period itself, the earlier the better — capacity, not cut-offs, is the constraint on a dedicated van.

    Is it more expensive?

    There is a festive uplift on some days, always quoted upfront on the booking.
