VAN OPTIONS

The right capacity for the consignment

We use the same broad van-size language you will see across the courier industry: SWB, MWB, LWB, XLWB and Luton. The dimensions below are indicative examples only because exact load space and payload vary by make, model and body.

SMALL

Small van

For small items and compact loads

Typical examples: Volkswagen Caddy · Ford Transit Connect

Best for documents, parcels, boxed items, urgent parts and other compact consignments where a larger van is unnecessary.

SWB

SWB van

Up to 2.4 m usable load length

Typical examples: Vauxhall Vivaro · Ford Transit Custom

A useful step up for multiple boxes, equipment and general business loads that need up to around 2.4 metres of usable load length.

MWB

MWB van

Up to 3 m usable load length

Typical examples: medium-wheelbase Transit · Sprinter-type panel van

For longer or higher-volume consignments that need up to around 3 metres of load length without moving into the larger van classes.

LWB

LWB van

Up to 4 m usable load length

Typical examples: long-wheelbase Transit · Mercedes Sprinter

For substantial equipment, long items, larger multi-piece loads and consignments needing up to around 4 metres of usable load length.

XLWB

XLWB van

4 m+ usable load length

Typical examples: extra-long Sprinter · Fiat Ducato Maxi

The largest panel-van category for long or bulky loads that need more than 4 metres of load length or significantly more cubic capacity.

LUTON

Luton van

Large box-bodied load space

Typical example: box-bodied Luton; tail-lift can be specified when required

For bulky, tall or palletised consignments that benefit from a large square-sided body and easier use of the available cubic space.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Same-day courier FAQs

Useful answers before you book. For anything specific to your consignment, send us the details and we can advise.

Ask about a delivery
Will my consignment be transported with another customer’s goods?

No. Your consignment is handled as a dedicated movement from collection to delivery, without being routed through a parcel hub or co-loaded with another customer’s goods.

How quickly can you collect?

Collection time depends on the pickup location, the van required and current availability. We will give you a realistic collection plan when we quote rather than promise a time we cannot keep.

Do you offer evening and weekend same-day deliveries?

Yes, subject to availability. Evening and weekend collections can be arranged, and pre-booking is recommended where possible for work outside normal booking hours. Any out-of-hours charge will be confirmed before you book.

Can you carry fragile or high-value items?

Yes, where the item is suitable for road transport and we have the correct van and handling information. Tell us what the item is, its dimensions and any special handling requirements when requesting the quote.

Can you deliver nationwide?

Yes. We provide direct same-day transport across mainland UK, and the job does not need to start in Surrey.

What types of items can you deliver?

We carry a wide range of suitable consignments including documents, parcels, equipment, production materials, tools and parts, IT equipment, fragile items and palletised goods.

Do you provide proof of delivery?

Yes. We confirm delivery when the job is complete and provide proof of delivery so you know the consignment has arrived.

What do you need to provide a quote?

Send the collection and delivery postcodes, item description, approximate dimensions and weight, required timing, and whether loading or unloading assistance is needed.

What counts as additional loading/unloading assistance?

Normal help with a straightforward collection or delivery is included. The additional assistance charge applies when the driver is required to do materially more than would reasonably be expected for a simple collection or delivery — for example repeated trips with multiple items, substantial hand-loading or unloading, stairs, carrying goods a significant distance, pallet breakdown, stacking or positioning.

If you're unsure, leave it unticked and tell us about the goods when requesting the quote.
