Have you got something that has to leave Peacehaven before the day ends? Flextro sets one vehicle aside for it and runs it from your address on the cliff top straight through to the delivery point, be that Brighton, Newhaven or somewhere the other side of the country. Nothing is tipped out at a hub along the way.

Flextro delivers for Peacehaven and UK organisations across healthcare, legal and professional services, housing, IT, retail, eCommerce, manufacturing and construction, from NHS trusts to Croydon-based solicitors and housing providers.








Same-day service explained
Same-day courier work in Peacehaven means your goods are collected and delivered between now and the end of the day, carried the whole distance by one driver in one vehicle.
The people who use it here tend to have a reason a network cannot meet: a part that has to reach a job before the trades pack up, documents heading to a Lewes office, stock for a seafront business or an item that has to catch something at the port. Pick-up time, vehicle and the handover are built round the deadline you give.
Local collection, nationwide reach
Book a collection anywhere along the BN10 clifftop strip for a short coastal run or a longer direct journey inland. Route, vehicle and timings are agreed before anything is confirmed.

Why dedicated delivery
The practical booking factors that decide how an urgent Peacehaven collection runs: the journey, the collection timing, the vehicle, the site access, the communication and the record at the end.
The consignment travels from the booked collection point to the destination on the dedicated journey rather than being routed through a parcel sorting network.
For urgent work, the exact postcode and readiness time are checked against available vehicles so the collection expectation is clear before confirmation.
Dimensions, weight, pallet count and access determine whether a small van or a larger commercial vehicle is the better option.
Reception procedures, loading bays, security, timed slots and contact details can be recorded before the driver arrives.
Delivery updates make it easier for the sender and recipient to manage a time-critical handover.
A delivery record closes the job and gives the sender confirmation that the consignment reached the destination.
Booking process
A four-stage process built around the actual route, load and deadline.
Send both postcodes, item details, readiness time, deadline and any access instructions.
Flextro matches the job to an appropriate vehicle and confirms the booking details before dispatch.
The assigned courier attends the collection point, checks the handover and starts the direct journey.
The consignment is handed over at destination and proof of delivery completes the booking.
Dedicated vs network delivery
The dedicated model is useful when the delivery needs to move as one job rather than enter a shared parcel network.
Customer feedback
Peacehaven service area
Collections in Peacehaven cover the whole grid of avenues running back from the A259, the Telscombe Cliffs end of town and the neighbouring villages either side. Availability is confirmed from the collection postcode itself, and the delivery can stay on the coast or head inland on a direct run.
The A259 is the spine of this stretch, linking Brighton one way and Newhaven the other, with the A26 and A27 picking up at Lewes for routes towards Eastbourne, the A23 and London. Coast road traffic and the level crossings around Newhaven both influence timings, so a realistic window is worked out before a job is accepted.

Local operating context
A few local things shape how a Peacehaven collection runs. The town is laid out as long residential avenues off the coast road with limited turning space, the A259 carries most of the through traffic and slows badly at the Brighton end in the peaks, and some clifftop addresses are easier reached from the landward side. The useful details are the postcode, which avenue entrance to use, a contact number, when the goods will be ready and the delivery deadline.
Van size follows the load, not the mileage. A small van covers envelopes, samples and boxed goods going into Brighton or Lewes, while furniture, building materials or pallets leaving a Peacehaven site call for a Luton and space at the kerb to work.

View relevant service →Pricing
Prices for Peacehaven work are set job by job. Mileage, the van required, how urgent the pick-up is, kerbside access and any waiting all feed into the figure.
Running a small van six miles into Brighton bears no relation to a Luton taking goods from the coast road up to the Midlands, so the quote comes from your two postcodes, what is being moved and the timing rather than a blanket Sussex rate.
The quote is confirmed before the booking is accepted, and the agreed price is the price you pay.

Questions before booking
Straightforward answers to what people along the Peacehaven clifftop ask before they book.
Where a driver is free and the details are to hand, Flextro aims to reach you within the hour. The coast road can be slow at peak times, so the realistic arrival for your postcode is confirmed before the job is accepted.
Yes. Telscombe Cliffs, Telscombe village, Saltdean, Rottingdean and the Newhaven side are all part of the regular Peacehaven collection area, with availability checked from the postcode.
Those are the two most common destinations from here, and both are routine same-day runs. Whether a specific time can be met depends on when the goods are ready and what the A259 and A27 are doing, and that is confirmed beforehand.
Yes. The consignment stays with the driver who collected it from your address until the moment it is handed over, with no depot sorting and no change of vehicle en route.
Yes, and it is a regular request. The usual route runs inland to the A23 or A27 first, so the achievable arrival time depends on the collection hour and the traffic, both of which are checked before you book.
The figure reflects the distance, the vehicle, the weight and bulk of the load, how soon it must be collected and any waiting time. You see the price before confirming, and it holds once the driver is loaded.
Yes. Give the house number, the nearest cross street and a mobile number, and say if parking is tight, because several of the avenues are narrow with cars on both sides.
Documents, parcels, tools, building materials, boxed stock, fragile items, permitted medical supplies and palletised goods. The vehicle is matched to the consignment, from a small van through to a Luton.
Yes. If you send on a predictable pattern, a contract run fixes a standing time slot. Tell us the usual day, the typical load and the destinations and a route price can be worked out.
Yes. Jobs can be booked around the clock, including weekends and bank holidays, either online or by calling 020 4576 3438.
Goods-in-transit cover is included, subject to policy terms. Mention high-value, fragile or unusual items before booking so handling and cover can be agreed first. The goods-in-transit insurance guide sets out the detail.
