The run typically takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours, so a morning collection usually lands in the early to mid afternoon.
Delivery details
Delivering to Cardiff: what to know
How long will it take to reach Cardiff?
From mid-Kent it is around 186 miles. Your driver takes the M20 and M26 to the M25, round the west of London to the M4, then past Reading and Bristol and over the Prince of Wales Bridge. Allow 3.5 to 4.5 hours. The western M25 and the M4 around Newport set the range, and you get live updates from the driver on the way.
Where in Cardiff can you deliver?
Anywhere in the city. Office drops tend to go to Central Square beside Cardiff Central station, Callaghan Square or Cardiff Bay. If your recipient is at Cardiff Gate International Business Park, on junction 30 of the M4, the driver can avoid the city centre altogether. Central loading space is tight, so tell us the goods-in route or who will meet the driver.
What do you need from me?
Your collection and delivery postcodes, what is going, and when it needs collecting. We come back with a price and the earliest collection time. Once you accept, we assign the right vehicle, from a small car for an envelope to a van or larger vehicle for pallets.
For most same-day jobs your consignment stays with that one driver all the way; it is not normally taken to a depot or swapped between vehicles. Cover up to £100 is included as standard. If it is worth more, give us the approximate value and, where extra cover can be arranged, we confirm the level and any 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.
