An estimate, not a booking. You see the final price before you pay.

Prepare your delivery

Give the driver enough information to judge the job before they accept it.

Describe the consignment

Include the number of parcels, their outer dimensions and combined weight. Say whether anything is fragile, awkward to lift or requires special handling. Package goods securely before collection; a transport booking is not a packing service.

Set up both handovers

Provide a collection contact, a delivery contact and opening hours. Explain reception procedures, loading bays and any reference the driver needs. Keep the recipient informed so the delivery does not arrive at a locked premises.

Match the service to the deadline

For a time-sensitive item, put the required arrival time in the request and use express or same-day delivery where appropriate. A service label is not a confirmed delivery slot: agree the timing with the driver.

Ask us a question
Can you carry a fragile parcel?

Describe the contents and packaging before booking. Suitability and any special handling need to be agreed; do not rely on a fragile label alone.

What if the recipient is unavailable?

Discuss the handover plan before collection. Do not assume goods can be left unattended or with a neighbour.

Can I send several parcels together?

List every parcel and provide the combined weight. Include dimensions for larger boxes so the load can be assessed.
