Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Same Day Courier Dover
Does your consignment have to meet a lorry, a sailing or a customer today? Same Day Couriers Kent collects from the port, White Cliffs Business Park or anywhere in Dover and plans the route around Dover TAP and Operation Brock, using the A2 through Whitfield when the A20 is queuing.
Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Dover
Will port traffic hold up my collection?
It can change the route, but it doesn’t stop us collecting. When freight queues build, Dover TAP holds port-bound lorries in the coastbound lane of the A20, and Operation Brock can put a contraflow on the M20 between junctions 8 and 9. We check the port traffic before we quote you a delivery time, and head out on the A2 and M2 instead when that’s quicker.
Where in Dover do you collect from?
The Eastern Docks and the Western Docks cargo facilities, White Cliffs Business Park and Honeywood Parkway at Whitfield beside the A2, and the trade counters and Buckland Hospital on Coombe Valley Road. We also cover the villages in CT15 to CT17, including River, Temple Ewell, St Margaret’s at Cliffe and Capel-le-Ferne. Common port jobs include shipping documents that have to meet a lorry, a replacement trailer or fridge-unit part, or stock pulled from a load for a UK customer.
How long from Dover to London or Heathrow?
Central London is around 75 miles, typically 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes via the A2 and M2 or the A20 and M20. Heathrow is roughly 100 miles, typically 2 to 2.5 hours via the M20, M26 and M25, to the cargo area on the southern perimeter. The M25 is typically 60 to 75 minutes, and the Eurotunnel terminal 15 to 20 minutes along the A20.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent takes documents, parts or stock from anywhere in Kent to a named driver, agent or forwarder at the Port of Dover. Access inside the port is controlled, so we agree the handover point with you before the driver sets off, and the proof of delivery records who received it.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from White Cliffs Business Park at Whitfield, CT16, including the units on Honeywood Parkway. The park sits beside the A2 north of the town, so your consignment heads for Canterbury, the M2 and London without going near the port approach roads on the A20.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent carries clinical supplies and diagnostic specimens from Buckland Hospital, Coombe Valley Road, Dover CT17 0HD, to hospitals and laboratories across Kent and beyond. You pack specimens to UN3373 and we drive them direct in a dedicated vehicle.
Cover up to £100 is included as standard on every Same Day Couriers Kent consignment. If your part or stock is worth more, tell us the approximate value in your enquiry. Where additional insurance can be arranged, we confirm the level of cover and any extra cost before you accept the booking.
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.
