Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Ashford
Can you collect from my Ashford estate today?
Usually, yes, subject to a driver and vehicle being free. We collect from Orbital Park at Sevington beside M20 junction 10a, Eureka Business Park off junction 9, and Cobbs Wood and Henwood industrial estates off the A292 Hythe Road. We also cover the villages across TN23 to TN27, from Kennington and Wye to Hamstreet and Bethersden. Tell us what it is and we’ll send the right vehicle, anything from a motorcycle or small car to a van or larger lorry.
How long will it take from Ashford?
Typically 80 to 110 minutes to central London via the M20 and A20, and 90 to 120 minutes to the cargo area at Heathrow via the M20, M26 and M25. Gatwick is typically 70 to 90 minutes. If Operation Brock has a 50 mph contraflow running between junctions 8 and 9, we build that into the time we give you rather than finding out on the road.
What if it has to catch a sailing or a shuttle?
Tell us the departure time. We run export stock, paperwork and replacement parts to a named haulier or agent at the Eurotunnel terminal, 15 to 20 minutes away via junction 11a, or the Port of Dover, around 30 to 35. For most same-day jobs your consignment stays with the one driver the whole way, and it isn’t normally taken to a depot or swapped between vans.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, in most cases, subject to vehicle availability. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from Orbital Park at Sevington, off the A2070 beside M20 junction 10a, so your consignment is on the motorway within minutes of loading, heading west for London and the M25 or east for Folkestone and Dover.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent carries diagnostic specimens and clinical supplies to and from the William Harvey Hospital on Kennington Road, Willesborough, TN24 0LZ. You pack specimens to UN3373, and we drive them straight to the receiving laboratory or department, with the recipient’s name and time recorded on delivery.
No. Operation Brock holds Channel-bound lorries on the coastbound M20 between junctions 8 and 9 and runs other traffic in a 50 mph contraflow. Same Day Couriers Kent still collects in Ashford while it runs; we allow for it in the delivery time we quote and use the A20 or A28 where that’s quicker.
Typically 90 to 120 minutes for the 85 or so miles via the M20, M26 and M25. Same Day Couriers Kent delivers to the cargo area on Heathrow’s southern perimeter or to a named forwarder, and the driver keeps you updated on the way.
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.
