Kent to Milton Keynes Same Day Courier

Milton Keynes sits on the M1 between junctions 13 and 14, which is why so many national distribution centres are there. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from your Kent site and drives your consignment there direct, typically 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes from Maidstone via the M25 and M1.

Delivery details

Delivering to Milton Keynes: what to know

Where in Milton Keynes do you deliver?

Anywhere in the city. Magna Park Milton Keynes, near junction 13, is a large distribution park, where your urgent stock, returns or conveyor parts often have to beat a trunking cut-off. Kiln Farm and Denbigh take engineering and light industrial work, Tilbrook is home to motorsport engineering, and central Milton Keynes holds office headquarters. Big distribution centres usually need a booked slot, so send the reference.

How long will it take?

From Maidstone the driver takes the M25 to junction 21, whichever way round is moving, then the M1 north to junction 13 for Magna Park and the east of the city, or junction 14 for the centre. It’s typically 90 to 100 miles and 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes, so a morning collection typically delivers before midday.

What vehicle will you send?

The one that fits the load, rather than charging you for capacity you don’t need: a motorcycle or small car for parts and documents, a van for several items, or a larger vehicle with tail-lift for pallets where there’s no forklift at the door. A standard UK pallet is 1200 by 1000 mm. 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.

Why not a parcel network?

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.
