    DPD alternative courier FAQs

    How is this different from DPD?

    One driver from your address straight to the destination — no depot sort, no unknown last-mile driver, no failed-delivery card. Same-day rather than next-day.

    How fast can you collect?

    Typically 60–90 minutes from booking anywhere in mainland UK.

    Weekend / bank holiday cover?

    Yes — 24/7 including all bank holidays. Book by phone or WhatsApp out of hours.
