Predictable collections
Your goods-in and dispatch teams know when the vehicle is due and can have the consignment ready, instead of waiting on an ad hoc booking.

Scheduled & Contract Courier in Kent
Booking the same journey every week? Agree your collection points, times and vehicle once, and we run it on the days you set.
Less admin
One arrangement replaces a string of individual bookings, saving time every week for whoever currently rings round for couriers.
Consistent handling
Because the route and loads are known in advance, the vehicle and loading suit your goods every time rather than being improvised.
A record for every run
Proof of delivery on each run builds a full record of what moved, when and who received it, useful for audits and disputes.
About this service
What our Scheduled & Contract Courier service covers
Booking the same courier journey every week? Same Day Couriers Kent can set it up as a scheduled run: your collection points, delivery points, days, times and vehicle are agreed once, then we run it on every agreed day, with live updates and proof of delivery each time and no fresh booking.
Is your work regular enough to schedule?
If you book the same journey more than once a week, probably. Typical runs are daily transfers between a factory and a warehouse, morning collections from a supplier, specimen runs from clinics to a lab, stock replenishment to branches, and end-of-day document runs to a head office.
What do we need from you to set it up?
The addresses, the time goods are ready at each collection point, the latest acceptable delivery time, typical volume and weight, the days of the week, and any goods-in hours or site access rules. We plan the route and vehicle to fit, then send you the quotation to accept.
Can one run cover several of your sites?
Yes. A scheduled run can link your own sites in a fixed order, say a factory, a warehouse and a trade counter. The vehicle carries only your goods for the whole route, so it stays dedicated to your business even though it calls at more than one address.
What if your volumes change?
Tell us and we adjust the run. A seasonal peak, a new site or a quiet week can mean a bigger vehicle, an extra run or a skipped day, agreed in advance. For same-day surprises, you can ask for an extra urgent vehicle 24/7 without disturbing the scheduled run.

What's included
How Scheduled & Contract Courier works
Agreed once, no rebooking
Collection and delivery points, times, days and vehicle size are agreed once. The run then happens as planned, with any changes agreed in advance.
Updates and proof on every run
Each scheduled run carries the same live driver updates and proof of delivery as a one-off job, so routine work isn’t any less visible.
Several of your sites on one route
A run can link several of your own sites in a fixed sequence. The vehicle carries only your goods, so it stays dedicated to your business throughout.
Urgent jobs alongside
When something can’t wait for the next scheduled run, ask for an extra urgent vehicle at any hour. Enquiries are answered 24/7, 365 days a year.

Frequently Asked Questions
A contract courier runs your regular collections and deliveries on an agreed schedule instead of as one-off bookings. Same Day Couriers Kent fixes the collection points, delivery points, days, times and vehicle in advance, then runs each one with live driver updates and proof of delivery.
As often as your work needs, from once a week to several times a day. Same Day Couriers Kent plans each route around when your goods are ready and the latest acceptable delivery time, and answers enquiries 24/7 for anything outside the pattern.
Yes, at any time. Your scheduled run carries on as planned, and the urgent consignment goes in a separate vehicle, quoted with the earliest collection time and driven direct once you accept, so it doesn’t delay the regular pattern.
Yes, up to £100 as standard on every consignment, scheduled or one-off. If your regular loads are worth more, tell us the approximate value when you set up the run. Where extra cover can be arranged, we confirm the level and any extra cost before you accept.
