Delivery details
Delivering to Tunbridge Wells Hospital, Pembury: what to know
How will the driver get there?
From Maidstone it is the A228 through Paddock Wood, or the A26 to Tonbridge and then the A21, around 15 to 20 miles. The hospital sits off the A21 trunk road, so collections from Sevenoaks and the M25 come straight down it. For most jobs your consignment goes direct with one driver and is not taken via a depot.
Is Pembury the right site for my specimen?
Check first. Tunbridge Wells Hospital, run by Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, has a Blood Sciences laboratory for clinical biochemistry and haematology, alongside Accident and Emergency, maternity and surgical work. The trust’s cellular pathology and microbiology are at Maidstone Hospital. Specimens must be packaged by you as UN3373 in triple packaging, and any Category A substance, dry ice or other dangerous goods declared when you enquire. We do not carry blood products.
What should I tell you?
Your collection postcode, the department, a named contact and what is going: an equipment spare, instrument set, loan kit or clinical documents. We reply with a price and the earliest collection time, then send the right vehicle. You get live updates and proof of delivery with the recipient’s name and time. Cover up to £100 is standard; if the item is worth more, give us the 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.
