Something needs to get out of Wickwar today? Flextro puts one van on the job and drives it from your door on the High Street or a farm out on the plateau straight to the delivery point, whether that is Bristol, Gloucester or an address a long way past South Gloucestershire. It does not pass through a hub or share space with other work.
A selection of our clients
Flextro delivers for Wickwar 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
In Wickwar, a same-day courier collects your goods and completes the delivery before the day ends, with one vehicle covering the whole route.
It suits the jobs a parcel network is no use for: a machine part for a workshop off the B4060, supplies for a farm between the village and Cromhall, signed paperwork due with a firm in Bristol, or a pallet of stock that has to reach a trade counter before it shuts. Vehicle, collection time and handover are set to your deadline.
Local collection, nationwide reach
Book a pick-up in Wickwar or the villages along the Cotswold edge for a run into Bristol or a direct drive to anywhere else in the country. Van, route and timing are confirmed in advance.

Why dedicated delivery
The practical booking factors that decide how an urgent Wickwar 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
Wickwar service area
Flextro collects from houses, farms, workshops and small industrial units in Wickwar and the parishes around it, checking availability against the GL12 postcode you give. The delivery can be a short run to Yate or Chipping Sodbury or a direct journey to an address at the other end of the motorway network.
The B4060 links the village north to Wotton-under-Edge and south to Chipping Sodbury, with the M5 reached west of here at Falfield and the M4 to the south. Two motorways within easy reach mean a consignment picked up on the High Street can be in the Midlands, South Wales or the South East later the same day when the timings work.

Local operating context
Wickwar is a village on one long street, and that shapes the practical side of a collection. Parked cars narrow the High Street, the lanes out towards Hawkesbury Upton and Hillesley are steep and hedged in tight, and farm entrances on the plateau are easy to drive past. The details that keep a job on schedule are the postcode, the loading point, a contact number, the ready time and the delivery deadline.
Choose the van around the consignment. A small van is enough for documents, samples and boxed parts going into Bristol, while feed, building materials or palletised goods from a South Gloucestershire yard want a bigger vehicle and a hand at the loading end.

View relevant service →Pricing
Wickwar work is priced for the journey in front of us. Distance, the van needed, how urgent the lift is, access at the pick-up, loading time and any waiting all shape the figure.
A quick drop into Yate looks nothing like a Luton van heading up the M5 to the Midlands, so the quote comes from your two postcodes, the load and the timings instead of a blanket South Gloucestershire rate.
The quote is confirmed before the booking is accepted, and the agreed price is the price you pay.

Questions before booking
Clear answers to what people in Wickwar and the surrounding parishes ask before they book a collection.
On urgent work Flextro aims to have a driver at your Wickwar address within 60 minutes, where a vehicle is free and the details allow. Village and farm locations vary, so the realistic collection window is confirmed for your postcode first.
The GL12 area is served along with Cromhall, Rangeworthy, Charfield, Hillesley and Hawkesbury Upton, plus the farms in between. Availability is worked out from the postcode at the collection point.
Yes. Give us the holding or unit name, directions if the entrance is unmarked, where the load will be standing and a number for whoever is there. Several lanes around Wickwar are single track with few passing places.
No. The consignment collected in Wickwar stays on the same vehicle until it is delivered, with no depot sort, no shared load and no handover between drivers.
Yes. Both are regular destinations from the village, along with Bath, Swindon, Cheltenham and Cardiff. Whether a particular deadline is realistic depends on the collection time and the motorway traffic, and it is confirmed before you book.
Mileage, the vehicle required, the weight and bulk of the goods, the urgency and any waiting at either end. The quote is given first and the figure holds once the load is on board.
Documents, parcels, boxed components, fragile items, tools, farm and building supplies, permitted medical goods and pallets. Vehicles run from a small van up to a Luton for bulkier plateau loads.
Tell us any temperature requirement when you ask for the quote and we will confirm whether Flextro can take the job on. Produce and dairy items often carry handling conditions that need agreeing before collection.
Yes. Where the same run happens each week, a contract run holds a fixed slot. Send the days, the destinations and a typical load and we will price the route for you.
Yes. The line is open at any hour, every day of the week, and bank holidays are treated no differently. Book through the site or ring 020 4576 3438.
Every consignment leaving the GL12 area carries goods-in-transit cover, subject to policy terms. Where something is valuable, fragile or awkward, flag it before booking so cover and handling can be agreed properly. The goods-in-transit insurance guide explains the basis of that cover.
