What's in scope (and what isn't)
We'd rather be honest about boundaries than win a job we can't do properly.
What we do
- Timed drops to venue docking slots — NEC, ExCeL, Olympia, Harrogate, Manchester Central
- Stand crates, panels, banners, POS, product samples
- Blanket wrap, floor straps, edge protection
- Teardown collections after the last exhibitor day
- Direct van, no depot — vital when the venue slot is tight
What we don't
- ADR / hazardous goods (we are not ADR-licensed)
- Deep-frozen transport — we run refrigerated (chilled) only, not frozen
- MHRA GDP-validated pharmaceutical cold-chain
- Larger commercial loads require a 7.5T or 18T suitability review
- Stand build, rigging or on-site labour
- Venue drayage / forklift hire (usually the venue's contracted service)

FAQs
Can you hit a specific NEC docking slot from Birkenhead?▼
Yes — we book the slot to the driver's ETA. Direct van means no depot delay, so we quote a firm slot at booking.
What about teardown at 11pm on the last day?▼
Late collections and out-of-hours teardown are standard on this service. Priced with a small OOH uplift.
Do you supply forklift or rigging at the venue?▼
No — that's usually the venue's contracted drayage team. We deliver to the docking bay; they take it from there.
Are you insured?▼
Yes — up to £5,000 Goods-in-Transit and £1m Public Liability. A current certificate of insurance can be emailed before the first job.
Can I open a business account?▼
Yes. 5-minute application, subject to credit check. Book against a PO, get one consolidated invoice per month, 30-day terms.
How fast can you collect?▼
Urgent collection is typically 60–90 minutes from booking, depending on driver position. Flexi7 covers collection and delivery within seven days and is normally around 30% below the equivalent dedicated service where suitable and available.
