Delivery Service in Canterbury

Some things are too big, too heavy or too awkward for a parcel courier, and that is what this covers. A delivery service across Canterbury and Kent for loads that need a van, a trolley and two people rather than a doorstep drop and a photo of your porch.

We collect from shops, warehouses, trade counters and private addresses around Canterbury, Wincheap and the wider county, and take the load where it needs to go. One item, or a run of several stops in a day.

Shop, warehouse and trade counter collections

Plenty of retailers will sell you something and then leave you to move it, or quote a delivery fee close to the price of the item itself. Give us the store address and the collection reference and we pick it up, check it against the paperwork and bring it round.

Trade counters and builders merchants work the same way. Where there is a cut-off time on the collection, tell us and the run gets built around it rather than against it.

Multi-stop and business runs

A delivery is not always one address to one address. We run drops with several stops, whether that is a small business getting orders out or a household sending things to three different places in a day. Working out the order of the stops is most of the job.

If a run is likely to repeat, mention it when you first get in touch. A regular route is easier to price and easier to hold a slot for.

Handled properly at both ends

Everything is wrapped, blanketed where it needs it and strapped before the van moves. At the far end it goes through the door and into the room it is meant for, rather than being left on a driveway for someone else to deal with.

Canterbury access shapes this more than people expect. The pedestrian zone limits when a vehicle can get near the high street at all, and several central streets run on residents' permits, so we tell you honestly how close we can park before the day.

Pricing a delivery

The figure comes from the size of the load, the number of stops and the distance covered. It is agreed before we set off, and it does not move afterwards because the traffic was bad or a stop ran long.

Send the item, the collection address and the delivery postcode and we will come back with a price.
