Delivery details
Delivering to Bristol: what to know
How long does it take to get to Bristol?
From Maidstone it’s typically 160 to 175 miles and 3 hours to 3 hours 45 minutes: the M20, the M26, the M25 clockwise to junction 15, then around 100 miles of M4. For Filton, Aztec West and Avonmouth the M4 meets the M5 at Almondsbury; for the city centre the M32 runs in from junction 19. The M4 around Reading and Newbury is the usual delay. A mid-morning collection typically arrives by early afternoon.
Where in Bristol do you deliver?
Anywhere, but Kent jobs often go to Filton, where Airbus and GKN Aerospace have sites, and to the Aztec West business park, for machined parts, tooling and inspection samples. Avonmouth and the docks take distribution and industrial loads, often on booked slots. Temple Quarter and the city centre take documents, and Cribbs Causeway is a common retail replenishment drop.
What do I need to tell you?
Your collection postcode, the site, gate and contact, what you’re sending and whether it’s for an aircraft on the ground or a stopped production line, so we plan the collection time. We match the vehicle to the load, and for most same-day jobs your goods stay with one driver. Cover is up to £100 as standard; if they’re worth more, tell us the value and we confirm any extra cover that can be arranged, and its cost, before you accept.

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.
