Same Day Courier Exeter

That depends on where our nearest free driver is, which side of the Exe you're on and when the goods will really be ready to go. When you ask for a price we check the drivers near your postcode and give you a collection time before you commit, so you can plan around a real time, not a hopeful one.

The whole city: the centre and Cathedral Yard, Southernhay and Newtown, the Quay, St Thomas and Exwick, Marsh Barton and Alphington, the university and north Exeter, Heavitree and Wonford, and Pinhoe out to Exeter Business Park. Places beyond the city edge have their own pages, for example Exmouth on the coast and Tiverton up the M5, and the wider county is on our Devon page.

Yes. The Sowton estate, the airport and the business sites south-east of junction 30 sit closer to our Topsham page, so their collection details are kept there. Topsham itself is about 4 miles from the centre of Exeter, usually 15 to 25 minutes. For gated sites, have the gate, any booking reference and a goods-in contact ready.

Plymouth is about 45 miles down the A38 over Haldon Hill, usually an hour to an hour and a quarter. Torquay is about 23 miles, usually 35 to 50 minutes, and Newton Abbot around 18 miles, usually 25 to 40 minutes. Holiday traffic on summer Saturdays can add a good deal to all three.

Yes. Truro is about 88 miles along the A30, usually an hour and three-quarters to two and a quarter hours, so a morning collection lands by early afternoon. Barnstaple is about 45 miles, usually an hour and a quarter to an hour and a half via the North Devon Link Road. Tell us the drop's exact postcode; rural addresses often need directions.

Yes. Central London is about 174 miles by the A30 and A303, usually three and a half to four and a half hours before breaks, and Heathrow about 161 miles. Collected by late morning, a delivery in London the same day is realistic; it works just as well in the other direction.

Bristol is about 79 miles up the M5, usually an hour and three-quarters to two hours. Cardiff is about 108 miles over the Prince of Wales Bridge, usually two and a quarter to two and three-quarter hours, and Birmingham about 160 miles, usually three to three and three-quarter hours.

Book it with us from wherever the goods are. We collect from your address, in any part of the country, and drive it straight to the Exeter drop, whether that's a house in Heavitree or a unit on Marsh Barton. If a delivery tomorrow is fine, our next-day courier service usually costs less; ask and we'll price both.

Not to the front door during trading hours. The High Street is closed to almost all traffic apart from local buses, and the pedestrian streets around it have their own restrictions, with the times shown on the signs at each entry. Drops into a service yard or a rear lane, or early before the shops open, are the reliable option. Our retail courier page explains store deliveries.

No. Exeter has no clean air zone, and it isn't on GOV.UK's list of charging zones; the nearest charging zone is Bristol's. What Exeter does have is camera enforcement: Devon County Council's cameras now watch the Wonford Road bus gate and bus lanes on Topsham Road, Fore Street in Heavitree and Cowick Street, so our drivers keep clear of them.

Yes. Exeter Law Courts on Southernhay Gardens houses the Crown, County, Magistrates' and Family courts, opens at 09:00 and has no parking of its own, so we plan a short drop with someone expecting it. Our document courier service explains how handovers are signed for, and this guide on sending legal documents by courier covers packing and timing.

Yes, and it's a big part of our Exeter work. When a vehicle or machine is off the road waiting for a part, our emergency courier service covers the drop-everything runs, and our pallet courier service explains tail-lifts and loading. If you're unsure which vehicle fits, this guide on choosing a courier van size helps.

Yes. Bookings are taken 24 hours a day, every day of the year, bank holidays included, so a Sunday collection or an overnight run to be on a doorstep for opening time is possible. Ring 020 4576 3438 or start a quote online and we'll confirm the van and the collection time before you book.

Each job is priced separately: distance, van size, the weight and bulk of the load, how soon it must leave, and any loading or waiting time. You get a price for your exact postcodes first. This explainer on how same-day courier pricing works shows what moves the figure, and goods-in-transit cover is included; our goods-in-transit insurance guide sets out the limits.
