FAQ about shipments

How do I book a dedicated courier in Hitchin for palletised parts from Wilbury Way to a destination within the UK?
Yes—this can be booked as a dedicated (exclusive) point-to-point vehicle that collects on Wilbury Way in Hitchin and transports to your UK delivery address. Depending on operational requirements, a direct run without intermediate handling may be possible.

Vehicle choice (general guidance)
Choose the vehicle based on your pallet count, size and weight. For example: small/medium van for smaller palletised parts (often around 1–2 standard pallets depending on dimensions); large van (LWB) for multiple pallets where forklift loading is available (capacity varies with pallet footprint/height/weight); Luton-type van with tail lift + pallet truck when you need tail-lift handling at kerbside and there is no forklift at pickup or delivery (capacity depends on pallet size/weight and access).

Route planning from Hitchin
Routing is planned based on pickup/delivery points, traffic and any restrictions. Connections via roads such as the A602, A505 and A1(M) are common, but the actual route may vary.

Step-by-step booking
Send us the pickup address on Wilbury Way, the delivery postcode, and your ready time (plus any preferred time window). Provide pallet details: number of pallets, dimensions (L×W×H), total weight, and whether pallets are stackable. Confirm handling on both ends: forklift on site yes/no, tail lift required yes/no, and any access limits (height/weight/booking-in rules). We then confirm the suitable vehicle type, price and a proposed transport plan. The driver collects at your loading point, secures the pallets, and proceeds to the consignee. Proof of delivery and updates can be provided where available, and we can coordinate delivery instructions such as call-ahead if required.
Does your courier service in Hitchin offer ADR-approved transports for dangerous goods?
ADR (dangerous goods) transport can be arranged on request and is subject to a feasibility and compliance check (e.g. UN number, ADR class, packaging, quantities and any route constraints). If the shipment is ADR-compliant and suitable capacity is available, we can organise a dedicated road transport from Hitchin to your specified destination; cross-border options may be possible depending on the lane and requirements.

How to book an ADR transport
Send the dangerous goods details: UN number, proper shipping name, ADR class, packing group, and tunnel code (if applicable). Share quantities: number of packages, net/gross weight, and package type (drums, cartons, IBC, etc.). Provide compliance documents: SDS (Safety Data Sheet) and any shipper declarations/instructions required for carriage. Confirm loading/unloading conditions: forklift availability, tail-lift need, time window, site safety rules. We then confirm whether we can accept the job, select a suitable vehicle and schedule pickup in Hitchin.

Safety notes
Only properly packaged, labelled and documented dangerous goods can be moved. Leaking, damaged or incorrectly declared goods cannot be accepted for safety and compliance reasons.
Can you deliver into Hitchin’s historic town centre with narrow access roads?
Deliveries into Hitchin’s historic centre are often possible when we match the vehicle size to access constraints and plan the approach and stopping point in advance.

Vehicle types for tight access
Depending on access and payload, options can include a small van for the narrowest streets, a medium/large van where access allows short-stay unloading close to the address, or a Luton-type van with tail lift when access and stopping options are confirmed suitable and tail-lift handling is needed.

Operational measures
We pre-check access width/height, a suitable unloading point (kerbside where permitted), and any time windows or site rules, then plan the transport to minimise unnecessary handling where possible.

Step-by-step booking
Send pickup and town-centre delivery address plus contact number on site. Tell us the street/access constraints (width limits, bollards, delivery time windows) and whether there is a loading bay. Share shipment size/weight and whether you need a tail lift. We propose the smallest feasible vehicle and confirm the delivery approach before dispatch. The driver can call ahead if required and completes delivery at the agreed safe point, subject to local restrictions.
Can I book a direct express courier journey from Hitchin to destinations in the UK and mainland Europe?
You can request a dedicated, point-to-point express vehicle from Hitchin to destinations across the UK and, where feasible, to mainland Europe. The vehicle is reserved exclusively for your shipment; depending on the lane and operational setup, a direct move without intermediate handling may be possible.

Typical routing
UK moves commonly connect via the A1(M) corridor to reach the most suitable motorway route. For mainland Europe, routing depends on the destination and the selected cross-channel option, as well as customs and carrier requirements; the exact route is planned case by case.

Step-by-step booking
Send pickup address in Hitchin, delivery address (UK or EU), and ready time plus your preferred delivery time window. Provide shipment details (dimensions, weight, number of pieces/pallets) and handling needs (tail lift, pallet truck, forklift availability). Tell us any special requirements such as time-critical, temperature-sensitive (where available), or site booking-in rules. We confirm feasibility (especially for mainland Europe), allocate a suitable vehicle, and provide the plan/price. The driver collects in Hitchin and transports to the destination with status updates available where possible during transit.
