Frequently Asked Questions
-
We typically aim to have a driver at your collection point within 60 minutes of your booking confirmation, anywhere in the UK. Because we manage a nationwide network of vehicles, we can instantly dispatch the driver closest to you.
-
Yes. Our team and network operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. Whether you have an emergency at 3 AM or a scheduled delivery for Sunday, we can handle it.
-
Absolutely. While we specialize in immediate "same-day" responses, you can schedule a collection days or weeks in advance. Just let us know your preferred time slot when requesting a quote.
-
No, you can book us for a one-off job anytime. However, for regular business customers, we recommend opening a Credit Account (subject to approval) which offers easier invoicing and payment terms. You can find our Credit Application form in the main menu.
-
We manage all tracking internally to ensure accuracy. You don't need to log in to a portal; instead, our team proactively sends you updates via email or SMS at three critical stages:
Driver Assigned/En Route
Goods Collected
Proof of Delivery (POD) immediately upon arrival.
-
Our drivers will never leave your goods unattended unless explicitly instructed. If the recipient is unavailable, our team will contact you immediately to ask for instructions (e.g., leave with a neighbor or return to sender).
-
Yes. Every driver in our network is vetted and carries Goods in Transit insurance (typically up to £10,000 as standard). If you are transporting particularly high-value items, please let us know during booking so we can arrange enhanced cover if necessary.
-
For safety and legal reasons, we generally cannot transport:
Hazardous waste
Illegal substances
Live animals
Alcohol
Please contact us if you have specific "Dangerous Goods" (ADR) requirements, as we may be able to source a specialist driver.
-
Our pricing is transparent and based on:
Vehicle Size: A small van costs less than a 7.5T truck.
Mileage: The distance from collection to delivery (loaded miles).
Urgency: Specialist or out-of-hours requests may vary slightly. We provide a fixed quote before you book, so there are no hidden surprises.
-
We include a generous loading/unloading window (usually 30-60 minutes) in our price. If the driver is kept waiting significantly longer than this at either end, a small waiting time fee may apply. We will always notify you if this is likely to happen.
