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.
