Collect in Kent, delivery arranged anywhere in the UK
Same Day Courier Ramsgate
Ramsgate sits at the far end of the Thanet Way, so when your consignment has to reach a haulier, a vessel or a customer today, an early collection makes the difference. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from the port, Manston Business Park, Eurokent or any CT11 and CT12 address and arranges delivery anywhere in the UK.
Local knowledge
Business deliveries from Ramsgate
Can you collect from the port or Manston?
Yes. The Port of Ramsgate on Military Road has roll-on roll-off berths and freight facilities, and a dedicated approach road takes port collections onto the dual carriageway without going through the town centre. Port security controls access, so send the consignee, the booking or vessel reference and a site contact with your enquiry. West of town, Manston Business Park on Columbus Avenue, with Maple Leaf and Merlin business parks beside it, holds distribution warehousing and light industrial units. Eurokent Business Park, off New Haine Road south of Westwood Cross, adds office employers.
What do Ramsgate businesses tend to send?
Often something with a deadline attached: documents or spare parts that must reach a vessel or haulier before a sailing, stock from a Manston warehouse that missed its trunk, or a breakdown part for a local manufacturer. Clinics send specimens to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, about four miles away. For pallets, tell us the count and whether there’s a forklift on site.
How long will it take to reach London or Heathrow?
Ramsgate is one of the furthest Kent towns from London, so the route is the A299 Thanet Way to M2 junction 7 at Brenley Corner, typically 25 to 35 minutes outside peak hours. In total, a van from Ramsgate typically reaches M25 junction 2 in 75 to 95 minutes, central London in 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes and Heathrow in 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. For Dover and Folkestone, the A256 runs south past Sandwich.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from and delivers to the Port of Ramsgate on Military Road, CT11 9LQ. Because port security controls access, include the consignee, the booking or vessel reference and a contact on site in your enquiry so the driver isn’t held at the gate.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent collects from Manston Business Park on Columbus Avenue and the neighbouring Maple Leaf and Merlin business parks. For warehouse collections, tell us the pallet count, the weight and whether a forklift is available, and we’ll send a vehicle that suits, with a tail-lift if needed.
Typically 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 15 minutes to central London outside peak hours, via the A299, M2 and A2. Same Day Couriers Kent confirms the collection time with your quotation, and the driver sends live updates so your London recipient knows when to expect it.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent answers enquiries 24/7, 365 days a year, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. That matters for port and distribution work in Thanet, where a missed sailing or trunk won’t wait for Monday. We confirm the price and earliest collection time before you commit.
Yes. Same Day Couriers Kent carries diagnostic specimens from Ramsgate clinics and practices to Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, about four miles away.

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.
