About this service
What our Same Day Courier service covers
Need something collected in Kent and delivered today? Same Day Couriers Kent sends a driver to your door, loads your consignment and, for most same-day jobs, drives it straight to the recipient anywhere in the UK. You get live updates on the way and proof of delivery with the recipient’s name and time.
How does it work?
You send us the collection and delivery postcodes, what’s going and when it needs collecting. We come back with a quotation and the earliest collection time. Once you accept, we assign the most suitable driver and vehicle, and the driver collects from your address and travels to the delivery destination.
Why is it quicker than a parcel service?
A parcel network takes your item to a depot, sorts it and usually trunks it overnight. Your same-day consignment is not normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved between vehicles. It travels with the driver who collected it, which is why it can arrive today and why fragile or valuable goods are handled less.
Is the vehicle just for your job?
Yes, for most same-day work. Your consignment has the vehicle and driver to itself, from your door to the recipient’s hands, so nothing else is loaded against it and no other drops add time to the journey. That makes it suitable for valuable, fragile or confidential items as well as urgent ones.
What if it has to arrive by a set time?
Tell us the deadline when you enquire, not just the day. We work back from it, confirm the earliest collection time and tell you before you accept whether the timing is realistic. If something changes on the road, the driver updates you straight away, not after the deadline has passed.
Which vehicle will you need?
We match the vehicle to the job rather than charging you for capacity you don’t need: a motorcycle or small car for documents and small parts, a van for boxes and a few pallets, and larger commercial vehicles or lorries for heavier loads. A long-wheelbase van typically takes three to four UK standard pallets, depending on total weight, and a 7.5-tonne lorry with a tail-lift handles heavier pallets where there’s no forklift at the delivery end.
Is it right for your delivery?
It suits you if next-day is too late: a breakdown part for a stopped line, samples for a lab, documents for court, a stand that has to be built by morning, or stock your customer needs today. Fragile, high-value and awkward items also travel better handled once at each end.

What's included
How Same Day Courier works
Direct to the recipient
For most same-day jobs, the driver who collects your consignment is the one who delivers it. It isn’t normally taken to a depot, sorted or moved to another vehicle.
The right vehicle for your load
Motorcycles and small cars for documents and small parts, vans for boxes and pallets, larger commercial vehicles and lorries for heavy loads. Tell us the size and weight and we’ll match it.
Live updates from the driver
You hear from the driver from collection to delivery, so you know when your consignment has left, roughly where it is and when it’s due.
Named proof of delivery
Every job closes with proof of delivery showing who received your consignment and when, ready to forward to your customer or file against the order.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Not with us. Urgent, dedicated and same day all describe the same service: one vehicle and driver collecting your consignment in Kent and driving it direct to the recipient. Tell us the deadline when you enquire and we plan the job around it.
You can enquire at any hour, because Same Day Couriers Kent answers enquiries 24/7, 365 days a year. Whether it arrives today depends on the distance and when it’s ready: mid-Kent to central London typically takes 1 to 2 hours, while the North of England can take 5 hours or more.
Yes. We match the vehicle to the load, from a van for lighter pallets to larger vehicles and lorries with a tail-lift for heavier ones. A long-wheelbase van typically takes three to four UK standard pallets of 1,200 x 1,000 mm, depending on total weight, so tell us the count and weight when you enquire.
Yes, up to £100 as standard on every consignment. If your goods are worth more, tell us the approximate value when you enquire. Where extra cover can be arranged, Same Day Couriers Kent confirms the level of cover and any extra cost before you accept the booking.
You get proof of delivery showing the recipient’s name and the time of handover as soon as the job is done. Same Day Couriers Kent also passes on live updates from the driver during the journey, so you know when it was collected and when it’s due.
Some, if you declare them when you enquire. Road transport of dangerous goods is governed by ADR, and the class and quantity decide what the vehicle and driver need. Give us the UN number and quantity, and we’ll confirm whether we can carry it before you accept a quotation.
