Courier Collection
Booking cut-off times
for same-day collection
can offer same-day pick-up from most locations as long as you book before the cut-off time
Your postcode will dictate the cut-off time for same-day courier collection in your area, this will generally be between noon and 3pm.
The simplest way to check when you can have your package collected is to use our quote form. This will allow you to quickly compare a range of collection options and tell you how long you have left to book to ensure collection that day.
Collection Time
We collect between 9am and 7pm on working weekdays as standard, but if you would rather not wait then you can choose a 'collect after' time for most areas.
If you don't want to have to wait home all day for the courier to collect, we recommend you using one of our drop off services, like UPS access points. Drop your package at thousands of shops nationwide, at a time convenient to you.
If you're planning on sending a gift for an occasion such as Christmas, bear in mind that we cannot collect or deliver on a public holiday, so make sure you book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
If the courier has not arrived to collect your parcel by 4pm, please contact us.
Arranging a collection from another location
To arrange a collection from an address which isn't yours, you need to provide the phone number and email address of the person you want us to collect from.
When you process your shipment online we will email the delivery labels directly to the shipper, so all they need to do is print off and affix the label prior to courier pickup. We will also provide them with detailed instructions on how to prepare their parcel for courier collection.
recommends:
Advise your shipper to carefully review our packaging guidelines to ensure that your goods are correctly prepared for transport.
Booking an international collection
offers same-day collection from most locations worldwide, simply enter a collection address in our quote generator and we'll tell you the earliest time we can pick up your parcel.
As with UK collection, all you have to do is provide a contact phone number and email address for the person we're collecting from and we will send them everything they need to prepare their package for shipping.
recommends:
- Be sure to double check your package's dimensions with the person who is shipping it for you, as if you enter them incorrectly you may be charged more than the quoted price for delivery.
- Check with your nominated shipper to ensure that they have received all shipping labels and instructions before collection is due.
Missed Collections
Most pickups fail due to the shipper not being available when the courier arrives, however other common issues include the courier not been able to find the pickup point, or being delayed in heavy traffic.
recommends:
If your package hasn't arrived by 4pm call our UK-based customer support and we will chase it up for you. If you're outside the UK, then call the courier directly in your country.
You can re-book a collection or change the collection date by entering your shipment number in our tracking page, then choosing the option to 'change collection date'.
Delivery labels and shipping paperwork
will produce all the paperwork you need for your shipment, all you need to do is print the barcoded labels and any customs invoices and affix them to your packages before they are collected by our courier.
Customs invoices
If your package is travelling outside the EU then we will generate the customs invoices for you from the information you provide when booking, so be sure to be thorough and accurate with goods descriptions and values. If your parcel is travelling via our Haverhill sortation centre you won't receive customs invoices to print, as we'll do that at our centre, for your convenience.
Attaching the shipping label
The courier will normally be able to provide a “documents enclosed” envelope to assist with this, however if they are not able to do so, we recommend fixing using clear packaging tape, ensuring you don't cover any of the barcodes. Place a spare copy inside the box.
recommends:
- Handwrite your shipping number on your box - this helps the courier if the label becomes detached.
- Remove all labels if you're using an old box.
- Review our packaging guidelines before packing your parcel.
Courier Delivery
Deliveries are made on working weekdays between 9am and 7pm, and you can see if your package is out for delivery using our tracking tool.

services include three delivery attempts as standard.
