If you’re looking for a reliable way to move goods on a regular schedule, contract and regular courier runs are what you need. This service is designed for businesses, organisations, or individuals who have repeat delivery requirements and want a dependable, predictable solution. Rather than arranging a courier each time you have something to send, a contract run sets up a scheduled route, making it simple, efficient and cost effective.

At its core, a contract or regular run is about consistency. We agree on the collection and delivery points, the frequency of deliveries and any special handling requirements. This could be daily, weekly, or even monthly. There is no compulsion or obligation. Once established, your items are picked up and delivered according to the agreed schedule without the need to rebook each time. When a relationship is built all we need is an email from you. We can even develop an personalised and simple booking system if it helps. The end result needs to save time and ensures operations run smoothly.

The first step is to get in touch with us and outline your needs. We’ll want to know the number of stops, addresses, volume of consignments, type of goods and any time sensitive requirements. The more detail you provide, the better we can plan the route and allocate the appropriate vehicle. Our drivers are familiar with standard and more complex delivery routes and are capable of handling the logistics involved in repeat runs. We’ll even modify paperwork to suit if it helps.

One of the main advantages of a contract courier service is reliability. Since these are scheduled runs, you can count on your consignment reaching its destination without delays or last minute changes. Our team keeps track of each run and can adjust routes if needed for traffic, roadworks or other obstacles while maintaining the agreed delivery times. This level of predictability is invaluable for businesses that rely on punctual deliveries, whether it’s sending stock to retail outlets, moving documents between offices or distributing supplies to multiple sites. Pretty much anything.

Pricing for contract runs is typically agreed upfront, based on the frequency, distance, and size of consignments. This means you won’t face unexpected costs and budgeting becomes straightforward. Fixed costs and transparent pricing give peace of mind, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of worrying about courier fees. We will build a schedule of costs with you. This way, no surprises.

Safety and care are a priority. Even though these runs are regular, each consignment is treated individually. This isn’t the place were complacency sets in. We are couriers not internet providers. We look after our existing customers before trying to reach out for the new.

Here’s a couple of examples of regular contractual work that was outsourced to us.

A local pharmacy summoned us to collect a bunch of medicines each weekend and deliver them to the named contact only at each address and told us to update an app that the NHS uses for this. Now the routing system the NHS used was generic and didn’t respect local knowledge. The first time we done the job it took us all day. We called in a meeting with the pharmacy owner and asked wether we could deliver the meds in an order where we deem is better optimised. Pharmacist was a little reluctant at first but after just two days using our method he was satisfied that we know what we are doing and left us to it. Out of approx. 2000 local deliveries over the summer we have absolutely zero damages, zero mis-deliveries and the items that were returned to the chemist were only returned due to the named person not being available.

Bodykits! For cars. Modified cars at that too. We got this by accident. A small manufacturer of fibreglass body panels for souped up sports cars. The issue was that the place that made them would use a large carrier to send the finished goods out and by the time they’ve been through the parcel network they’d arrive chipped or damaged. Meaning upset customers, refunds and reworks. With a smug face we made a bold statement “this wouldn’t happen with us”. That was all it took for regular ad hoc work transporting bodykits up and down the country, to the customer and delivered in the same condition that they were collected in with zero damages.

Flexibility? While the can be schedule is fixed, we can accommodate changes when required. Need an additional drop off one day? A cancellation or reschedule? Our controllers manage these adjustments quickly and efficiently. You won’t have to wait in a queue or navigate complicated tracking systems. A simple email lets us adapt the service to your needs without disrupting the overall route. Emails are monitored.

Contract runs are suitable for a wide range of businesses and situations. Small local firms may use them to move stock between locations, larger companies may run multiple daily routes to cover regional needs, and even professional services such as labs or clinics might need scheduled deliveries of sensitive or urgent items. Essentially, if your business relies on predictable and dependable movement of goods, a contract or regular courier service makes life simpler.

It’s worth noting that while the service is designed to be dependable and regular, planning is crucial. We encourage customers to provide as much information as possible about each delivery point, loading facilities and the nature of the consignments.
