Legal courier at a glance

What is a legal courier?

A legal courier is a dedicated delivery service for time-sensitive and confidential legal documents. Flextro collects from law firms, chambers and clients and takes the documents directly to the named recipient, on one vehicle, without passing through a sorting hub.

The work is usually one of two kinds. Deadline deliveries, such as court bundles, filings and exchange or completion documents that must arrive by a fixed time. And routine movements, such as documents between offices, chambers and clients, which can run to a schedule.

The difference from post or a parcel network is custody. The documents stay with one courier from collection to handover, and the handover is recorded with the time and the name of the person who received them.

Courier options for legal work

Legal courier services for firms, chambers and courts

Most legal delivery falls into six patterns, from a bundle that must reach court before a hearing to the same run between offices every afternoon. Each one runs on a courier dedicated to your job.

Not sure which fits? Describe the documents and the deadline, and Flextro will match the service and confirm the price before you commit.

What firms send

What does a legal courier carry?

Anything a firm needs moved securely and on time, from a single signed page to boxes of trial bundles. These are the items solicitors, chambers and professional firms ask us to move most often.

Court bundles and filings

Hearing and trial bundles, authorities, claim forms and documents for filing.

Deeds and signed originals

Title deeds, wills, powers of attorney and wet-ink signed contracts.

Completion and exchange packs

Conveyancing and corporate completion documents against a fixed deadline.

Archive and file transfers

Client files and archive boxes moving between offices, storage and clients.

Evidence and media

Sealed evidence, USB drives and hard copies that must stay in one person’s custody.

Board and signing packs

Signature packs for directors, trustees or parties in different locations.

Confidential material? Documents travel on a courier carrying only your job and are handed over only to the agreed recipient. Tell us about any sealing, identification or wait-and-return requirement when you book.

Before the vehicle leaves

What we confirm before a legal delivery starts

A bundle left with the wrong reception, or a signed original handed to someone without authority, can cost more than a late delivery. These six details are agreed before collection.

You do not need all six to call. Give us what you know and we will ask for the rest.
Documents

What is moving

Number of bundles, boxes or envelopes, and whether they are sealed, confidential or originals.

Collection

Where they are now

Your office, chambers, a client’s premises or a signing meeting, and who will hand them over.

Recipient

Who must receive them

The named person, court office, counter or chambers clerk, and what happens if they are unavailable.

Deadline

When they must arrive

The filing time, hearing start or completion deadline, so the job is planned backwards from it.

Handover

How it is signed for

Signature, reception drop, court counter or wait-and-return, agreed in advance.

Reference

How it is recorded

Your matter or client reference on the booking, and proof of delivery with time and name.

When a deadline is set

How does a legal courier work?

In four steps. You tell us the documents, the recipient and the deadline; Flextro assigns a courier and fixes the price; the courier collects from your office or the signing; and the documents are handed to the named recipient with proof of delivery. The booking line is open 24 hours a day.

Flextro works to a 60-minute collection target in most areas. Call 020 4576 3438 when a deadline is close.

Nationwide legal coverage

Where does Flextro deliver legal documents?

Across the whole UK. Flextro collects from law firms, chambers and clients and delivers to courts, tribunals, counterparties and clients in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

A deadline does not stop at a regional boundary. A bundle from a firm in Croydon can go straight to a court in Birmingham, or a completion pack from Manchester to a signing in Bristol, with the same courier from collection to handover.

Vehicle matching

Which vehicle does a legal delivery need?

Most legal work fits a small van: an envelope, a set of bundles or a few archive boxes. Larger file transfers and office moves need more space. Tell us the number of bundles or boxes and the vehicle is matched for you.

For law and professional firms

One courier account for law firms and chambers

If documents move between your offices, chambers and clients every week, a Flextro business account replaces booking each job with agreed rates, scheduled runs and one monthly invoice. A court deadline still gets its own courier, on the same account.

Offices, chambers, regular recipients and handover rules are kept on file. When a deadline is close, the booking team already knows where the documents are going, so briefing an urgent job takes a sentence.

Sending documents only, not a firm-wide account? See urgent document courier.

Legal courier pricing

How much does a legal courier cost?

A legal courier is priced on three things: how quickly the documents have to arrive, the vehicle the load needs, and the route including any waiting or wait-and-return time. There is no rate card, because an envelope across town and a set of trial bundles across the country are different jobs.

Your price is fixed before the booking is accepted. No surcharge for confidential or original documents.

Response time

How quickly the documents must arrive.

  • Same day for a court or completion deadline
  • Scheduled runs between offices
  • Evening, weekend or bank holiday work

A bundle booked the day before costs less than the same bundle raised an hour before filing.

Vehicle and load

The vehicle the documents need.

  • An envelope, a box or several trial bundles
  • Archive boxes or file transfers
  • Sealed or bulky evidence

Most legal work travels in a small van; the vehicle grows only with the volume.

Route and handover time

The journey and the time at each end.

  • Collection-to-recipient mileage
  • Waiting at a signing or court counter
  • Wait-and-return and multi-recipient routes

Regular office and chambers runs are priced once and invoiced monthly on an account.

Legal courier FAQs

Questions law firms ask before booking

Straight answers for solicitors, legal secretaries, chambers clerks and anyone arranging a legal delivery.

What is a legal courier?

A legal courier is a dedicated delivery service for time-sensitive and confidential legal documents. Flextro collects from law firms, chambers and clients and takes the documents directly to the named recipient, on one vehicle, without passing through a sorting hub.

Can you deliver court bundles on the same day?

Yes. Court bundles can be collected and delivered on the same day to a court, tribunal or chambers. Tell us the deadline when you book so the job is planned backwards from it.

How are confidential documents kept secure?

The documents stay with one courier from collection to handover, travel on a vehicle carrying only your job and are handed only to the agreed recipient. The handover is recorded with the time and the name of the person who received them.

Can the courier wait for documents to be signed?

Yes. A wait-and-return can be booked, where the courier waits while documents are signed and brings them back or takes them on. Tell us the expected waiting time so it is included in the fixed price.

Do you deliver out of hours for urgent matters?

Yes. The booking line is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including bank holidays, for urgent filings, injunctions, late signings and weekend completions.

Can you set up regular runs between our offices?

Yes. Regular movements between offices, chambers, clients or storage can be set up as a scheduled contract run and invoiced monthly on a business account.

What proof of delivery do I receive?

Proof of delivery is recorded at the handover, including the time and the name of the person who received the documents.

How much does a legal courier cost?

Each job is priced on how quickly it has to arrive, the vehicle needed and the route, including any waiting or wait-and-return time. You receive a fixed price before you confirm, and it does not change afterwards unless the job changes.

Do you cover the whole of the UK?

Yes. Flextro collects and delivers across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, including courts and tribunals, and a single job can cross the country with the same courier.
