Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Same Day Courier Chatham
Here's how a Chatham job works with Same Day Couriers Kent. You send the collection and delivery details, we quote and confirm when we can collect, and once you accept, the most suitable driver and vehicle come to your unit, whether that's Chatham Maritime or Lordswood, and run it direct via the A2, A229 or M2.
Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Chatham
Where in Chatham do you collect from?
Across ME4 and ME5. On the riverside, that means the offices and labs of Chatham Maritime, including the Universities at Medway campus, and the Chatham Docks estate, which has been home to steel, aggregates and engineering firms. Inland, Lordswood Industrial Estate on Revenge Road holds construction, trade and service businesses, typically about ten minutes from M2 junction 3. We also collect for events at the Historic Dockyard.
Can you take something heavy off the riverside?
Yes. Fabricated steel, fixings and machine parts often need more than a van, so we can send a lorry with a tail-lift. Tell us the weight, the dimensions and whether the site has a forklift or loading bay, and we’ll match the vehicle before it sets off. Access varies between occupiers, so we confirm the gate and loading point with you when you accept the quote.
How long from Chatham to London or Heathrow?
Central London is about 32 miles, typically 60 to 90 minutes via the A2 and M2. Heathrow is around 60 miles, typically 65 to 100 minutes via the M2, A2 and M25, to the cargo area on the southern perimeter. M25 junction 2 is typically 20 to 30 minutes west. Maidstone is 20 to 25 minutes over Blue Bell Hill, and the Medway Tunnel reaches Strood without crossing Rochester Bridge.

Why not a parcel network?
The Same Day Couriers Kent difference
Less handling on the way
For most same-day jobs, your consignment travels directly with the assigned driver. It is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles.
The vehicle you actually need
We match the vehicle to your job, from a motorcycle for documents to a 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift for pallets, so you're not paying for spare capacity.
You know where it is
The driver keeps you updated while the job is running, and proof of delivery gives you the recipient's name and the time of handover.
Cover agreed before you book
Every consignment includes cover up to £100. Worth more? Tell us the value and, where extra insurance can be arranged, we confirm the cover and cost before you accept.
