01The service
Aberdeen Same Day Courier for Business
Our same day courier service in Aberdeen is built for businesses: one vehicle and one driver for your consignment, with no depots, no sorting and no other customers' goods on board.
Aberdeen sits a long way from most UK suppliers and customers, so many jobs here are long-distance. A dedicated vehicle leaving Aberdeen can reach Edinburgh or Glasgow by lunchtime and most of northern England the same day, without waiting for a parcel network to route it south.
Collection times depend on where the nearest driver is. In Aberdeen city we aim to collect within 30 to 60 minutes; in rural Aberdeenshire it may be longer. We confirm the collection time before you book.
