PRICING

Understanding Our Pricing Structure:

We believe in transparency and clarity when it comes to pricing. Our

goal is to provide you with affordable, competitive rates without

compromising on the quality or speed of our services. Each delivery job

is unique, and as such, several factors influence the cost. Here's a guide

to understand how we calculate the pricing for our deliveries.


Key Factors Influencing Courier Costs:

1. Timing of the Pickup

The time at which your goods are picked up can affect the cost

significantly. Urgent or after-hours pickups may incur additional

charges due to the extra resources required to fulfil these requests.


2. Size and Weight of the Load

The dimensions and weight of the items being shipped are crucial in

determining the price. Larger and heavier items require more space and

labour, which naturally increase the cost.


3. Distance to Destination

The longer the distance your goods need to travel, the higher the

transportation costs. We calculate the costs based on per mile rates,

ensuring you get the best price for the distance covered.


4. Special Requirements

Any special handling required for delicate, hazardous, or high-value

items can also influence the cost. These requirements often require

additional safeguards or equipment, impacting the overall pricing.


Additional Costs:

Tolls, ULEZ, and Congestion Charges

When your delivery route passes through toll areas, the Ultra-Low

Emission Zone (ULEZ), or Congestion Charge zones, these costs are

added to the pricing. Such fees are variable and depend on the specific

route taken and the time of day.


Our Pricing Range:

While each job is quoted individually to ensure fairness and accuracy,

most deliveries fall within the range of £2 to £3 per loaded mile. This

pricing structure is designed to cover the operational costs while

remaining economical for our customers.
