Questions about courier work in Stoke-on-Trent

How quickly can you collect in Stoke-on-Trent?
Usually within 90 minutes of booking during the day. Priority bookings put the nearest available vehicle on your job immediately. Outside 07:00–19:00 and on Sundays we still collect; the out-of-hours rate applies.
How much does a same-day courier from Stoke-on-Trent cost?
Every job is a base fee plus a rate per mile, with a minimum charge for short runs. A small van within Stoke-on-Trent starts from the minimum charge; longer runs are priced per mile. Enter the two postcodes above for a fixed price in seconds. There is no fuel surcharge.
Do you deliver from Stoke-on-Trent to anywhere in the UK?
Yes. We collect from anywhere within 120 miles of Birmingham, including Stoke-on-Trent, and deliver to any mainland UK postcode on the same day where the distance allows. London, Manchester, Bristol and Leeds are everyday runs.
What proof of delivery do I get?
A photograph of the goods at collection and at the door, the receiver's name and signature, GPS position and time on both. The proof-of-delivery PDF is emailed to you the moment the driver closes the job, and you can watch the van move on a live tracking link while it's on the road.
What size vehicles do you have?
Cars for documents and small parcels, small vans, SWB and LWB vans, and Luton vans with tail lifts for pallets and bulky goods. Choose the smallest vehicle that fits; the price follows the vehicle.
Can I open a business account for regular work from Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes. Businesses booking around ten or more jobs a month get a negotiated rate card, bookings without card payment, and one itemised monthly invoice with every proof of delivery attached.
