    local courier service FAQs

    How fast can you arrange a local pickup?

    Typically 60–90 minutes from booking anywhere in mainland UK. City-centre pickups are often faster; rural collections add 30–45 minutes.

    Do you cover a local pickup nationwide?

    Yes — same-day, direct van, mainland UK. Ferry-served islands take longer; ask for a bespoke quote.

    How is a local pickup priced?

    From £1.25 per mile with a £55 minimum. Firm live quote before you book — no fuel surcharge, no depot fee, no weekend premium.

    What insurance is included on a local pickup?

    Every allocated driver is required to hold driver goods-in-transit cover normally up to £5,000. Higher cover is arranged before collection — tell us the declared value when you book.

    Can I track a local pickup in real-time?

    Yes — a Status updates link is sent on collection. You can share it with your customer, buyer or site foreman.
