Stand ready when doors open
A missing item delivered during build-up means your stand opens complete, not with an empty plinth and an apology.
Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Exhibition & Event Courier in Kent
Stand kit, graphics, samples or the box that got left behind, collected in Kent and delivered to your venue's loading bay, timed to your booked slot.
No wasted slot
Arriving inside your booked slot avoids a long wait at marshalling and knock-on delays for your stand builders and AV team.
Your team stays on the stand
Nobody drives back to the office for a missing box. Your team stays on the stand, talking to visitors and working the show.
A planned breakdown
A return leg booked in advance gets your kit out of the hall in its slot and back to base in Kent.
About this service
What our Exhibition & Event Courier service covers
Stand being built tonight and a crate, banner or sample is still in the office? Same Day Couriers Kent collects it in Kent and delivers direct to your venue’s loading bay, timed to any vehicle booking slot the venue requires, so your stand can open complete.
Why does your venue need a booked slot?
Big venues control their loading bays so build-up doesn’t gridlock. ExCeL London, for example, runs a vehicle booking system: every loading bay visit during build-up and breakdown needs a slot, shown at the traffic marshalling area. Give us the hall, stand number and booking reference, and we time the run to it.
What can we bring to your stand?
Graphics and pop-ups, literature and giveaways, product samples and demo kit, AV and IT equipment, furniture and flooring, and the box of cables or brochures found after the main delivery left. Loads run from a single case by small car or van to a full stand fit-out on a larger vehicle with tail-lift.
How should you label it?
With the event name, hall, stand number, exhibitor name and an on-site mobile number. Floor teams handle a lot of deliveries during build-up, and an item without a stand number can sit in a holding area while you hunt for it. Tell us who’s receiving on the stand.
Can your kit come back after breakdown?
Yes, if you book the return leg with the outbound delivery. Venues typically release loading bays in a set order after the show closes, so give us your breakdown slot and hall details up front, and we plan the vehicle to bring your stand and unsold stock back to Kent.

What's included
How Exhibition & Event Courier works
Timed to your venue slot
Give us the venue, hall, stand number and vehicle booking reference. We plan the collection so the driver reaches the marshalling area or loading bay inside your slot.
Build-up, show days and return
Deliveries for build-up, top-ups of literature or stock during the show, and a return leg at breakdown, booked with the outbound job, back to your premises in Kent.
Last-minute items
The forgotten box, the reprinted banner, the replacement screen. Enquiries are answered 24/7, 365 days a year, so a late-night discovery can be priced that night.
Stand kit handled once
Graphics, AV and display units normally travel with one driver, loaded and unloaded once, and are handed to a named person on your stand with proof of delivery.
