Questions about courier work in Derby

How quickly can you collect in Derby?
Usually within 85 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 Derby cost?
Every job is a call-out plus a rate per mile, with a minimum charge for short runs. A small van within Derby starts from the minimum charge; longer runs are priced per mile and include the driver's return. Enter the two postcodes above for a fixed, all-inclusive price in seconds. There is no fuel surcharge and no VAT.
Do you deliver from Derby to anywhere in the UK?
Yes. We collect from anywhere within 120 miles of Birmingham, including Derby, 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 Derby?
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.
