Everything You Need to Know
Answers to the questions UK businesses ask most about same-day courier delivery.
What is the cheapest same-day courier in the UK?+
Same-day courier prices in the UK start from around £50 for a small van covering short distances (under 30 miles). Prices increase with distance and vehicle size. Dedicated couriers like X-Eagle show transparent pricing upfront — no hidden fees. The cheapest option depends on your cargo size and distance. Use a cost calculator to compare before booking.
How quickly can a courier collect my parcel?+
The fastest courier services offer collection within 30–60 minutes for vans and 60–90 minutes for trucks. This is only possible with dedicated courier companies that dispatch directly from local drivers. Parcel networks like Royal Mail and DPD do not offer on-demand collection — they operate on fixed routes with pre-booked time slots.
What is the difference between a dedicated courier and a parcel service?+
A dedicated courier assigns one vehicle and one driver exclusively to your delivery. Your cargo is the only item on the vehicle and travels direct from collection to delivery. A parcel service consolidates multiple customers' items onto shared vehicles via sorting depots. Dedicated is faster, more secure, and more reliable — but costs more than economy parcel services.
Do I need a business account to use a courier regularly?+
You do not need an account to book, but a business account saves 15–20% on every delivery. Account benefits include invoice terms (pay monthly instead of per-booking), volume discounts, priority dispatch, and a dedicated account manager. Most courier companies offer free accounts with no minimum volumes or contracts.
What size vehicle do I need for my delivery?+
For documents and small parcels, a small van (450kg capacity) is sufficient. For multiple boxes or furniture, a long wheelbase van (1,250kg) works well. Pallets require a Luton van with tail lift (6 pallets) or a 7.5-tonne truck (10 pallets). Full loads and heavy freight need 18–26 tonne trucks or artics. A good courier will help you choose the right vehicle when you describe your cargo.
Is same-day courier available on weekends and bank holidays?+
Yes — most professional courier services operate 7 days a week including bank holidays. Weekend and bank holiday deliveries typically carry surcharges: Saturday +25%, Sunday +40%, and bank holidays +50% on top of standard rates. Evening (6pm–9pm) and night (9pm–7am) services are also available with surcharges of +30% and +50% respectively.
