FAQ about shipments

I need a dedicated direct courier in Colchester—can you collect anywhere in the city and drive straight to my recipient?
Yes. We provide point‑to‑point direct drives across Colchester (CO1–CO4), from the city centre near Colchester Castle to business addresses around the University of Essex and Hythe. Your shipment travels in a dedicated vehicle without transhipment, with status updates provided throughout the transport so you always know where your goods are.
Can I choose a specific vehicle in Colchester, for example a small van, a side‑loading curtainside van, or a tail‑lift van for pallets?
Yes. On request we deploy a specific vehicle type for your address in Colchester, including compact vans for tight streets, curtainside (planensprinter) for side loading of crates, and vans with tail‑lift and pallet truck for palletised goods. We transport the goods as ordered; pallet exchange is not offered, so please provide suitable loading equipment and packaging.
Can I arrange a same‑day direct delivery from Colchester to destinations such as London or Cambridge?
Yes, when route and handling times allow. We run dedicated direct drives via main routes like the A12, making this ideal for machine components, exhibition materials for venues such as Firstsite or the Mercury Theatre, or non‑temperature‑controlled university equipment. Your consignment is transported exclusively in one vehicle without hub handling for a swift handover.
I work with air and sea partners—can you handle pre‑carriage or on‑carriage by road between Colchester and Stansted Airport or the Port of Harwich?
Yes. We organise the road leg as a direct drive between your Colchester address and handover points at Stansted or Harwich. We coordinate the collection and delivery with your chosen forwarding partners; we provide only the road segment, enabling a smooth pre‑carriage or onward‑carriage connection without offering air or sea transport ourselves.
