What makes an urgent same day courier different?
An urgent same day courier assigns a vehicle to one confirmed job and sends it directly from collection to delivery. The load does not enter a parcel hub or follow a shared network schedule. This gives operations clearer control over dispatch, custody, progress updates, arrival planning and final proof of delivery.
- One customer load on the assigned vehicle
- No planned depot transfer or co-loading
- Operations-led updates throughout the movement
- Named proof of delivery after handover
Can a van collect within 60 minutes?
For suitable van bookings, operations aims to assign a driver near the collection area and reach the collection point within 60 minutes of booking confirmation. This is a response target rather than a guarantee. Driver availability, vehicle suitability, traffic, access, cargo readiness and the collection location can change the confirmed plan.
| Booking factor | Why it affects response |
|---|---|
| Driver proximity | A nearby suitable driver reduces travel time to collection. |
| Cargo readiness | Goods, packaging and paperwork must be ready when the driver arrives. |
| Vehicle requirement | Specialist or larger vehicles may need a different dispatch plan. |
| Site access | Security, loading and parking conditions affect the usable collection time. |
What can travel on the same day service?
The service can move the cargo types listed across our transport range, from documents and packaged orders to pallets, machinery, regulated goods and temperature-sensitive consignments. Acceptance depends on accurate dimensions, weight, packaging, documentation and handling information so operations can provide a suitable vehicle and meet all legal and route requirements.
