Same Day Courier to Medway City Estate from Kent
Medway City Estate sits on the Frindsbury peninsula at Strood, with river on three sides, so how fast your delivery arrives depends on the few roads in. Same Day Couriers Kent picks the quickest approach on the day, via Strood and the M2 or the A289 Medway Tunnel, typically 20 to 35 minutes from Maidstone.
Delivery details
Delivering to Medway City Estate: what to know
Why does the time vary more than the distance?
Because every vehicle comes in through a small number of access points. From the west that means Strood and the A2, or the M2 at junction 1; from Chatham and Gillingham it means the A289 through the Medway Tunnel. Peak-hour queues at those points set the arrival time more than the 10 to 12 miles from Maidstone does, which is why we quote in minutes.
What do you need to find my unit?
The unit number and street, not just the company name. The estate was developed from 1986 on former cement works and quarry land and now covers around 106 hectares, with about two million square feet of space and around 600 businesses on streets such as Anthony’s Way, Sir Thomas Longley Road and Enterprise Close. Add goods-in hours and the name of the person receiving.
What can you bring, and on what?
Breakdown parts for engineering units, pallets for trade counters and distributors, tooling for contractors and documents for the offices, collected anywhere in Kent. We match the vehicle to the job, from a motorcycle or small car to a van or 7.5-tonne lorry with tail-lift, and for most jobs the driver brings it straight there. Cover up to £100 is standard; tell us if the goods are worth more 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.
