Anyone know of a courier firm that collects on a Saturday?

I'm not worried about when they deliver.

Thanks

  • I think you will find most will, but they will charge extra. Alternatively I am sure than you could deliver to their depot. I use an APC franchise, look on https://www.apc-overnight.com.

    Thanks.

    Most seem not to do Saturday collection though- Postvan, Parcels4delivery, Parcels2go.

    I have been told by APC to try their local depot.
  • APC local depots are individual franchisees. Some are very helful, others not so, It's worth a try cos you may get lucky.

    Which area of the UK are you, Entertainer?

    I ask because I'm a courier and might be able to sort you out if you're local.
  • hi there, i think you will find all courier companies will collect on a saturday if the goods are being sent on a same day service as oppose to a next day service. same day is a lot more expensive but good are lets say, handled more carefully, on a sameday....so its worth paying the extra sometimes,especially for more fragile items.
    i am also a courier,working for lewis day ltd. we have depots up and down uk,
    will try and get you a cheaper deal if i can help. good luck mate.
