Our same day direct service is the fastest delivery we offer — a dedicated driver is assigned exclusively to your job, collects from you in under 60 minutes and drives directly from A to B, door-to-door, without stopping. No depot stops, no shared loads, no other jobs. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 0330 223 4790 or book online instantly.
When nothing can be allowed to slow your consignment down — and you need the quickest possible journey from collection to delivery — the same day direct service is the right choice. Unlike our urgent level, where your consignment is prioritised but may share a route with other jobs, the direct service dedicates a driver and a vehicle to your consignment alone. They collect from you and drive straight to your recipient by the fastest available route, with nothing else on board and no stops along the way.
The same day direct service is, therefore, the fastest and most secure way to move a consignment the same day. It is the ideal choice for high-value goods, highly sensitive items, irreplaceable documents and any situation where a direct, point-to-point journey matters. If you simply need fast same day delivery and your consignment can travel a prioritised — rather than fully dedicated — route, our same day urgent service is a more cost-effective choice.
Understanding the differences between service levels helps you choose the right option — and consequently the right price — for your specific situation. Use this comparison to decide.

The same day direct service is for the situations where speed and security cannot be compromised — where your consignment needs its own driver, its own vehicle and the fastest possible point-to-point journey. Here are the scenarios where direct is precisely the right level.
Valuable goods, prototypes and irreplaceable items where a dedicated driver and a direct, non-stop journey provide the security and peace of mind that a shared route cannot.
When every minute on the road counts and you need the quickest possible delivery, the dedicated A to B run removes every stop, detour and shared-load delay between collection and your recipient.
Original contracts, court bundles and sensitive paperwork that must travel under the care of a single dedicated driver, hand to hand, with no intermediate handling.
Specimens, pharmaceuticals and clinical materials where a direct, uninterrupted journey protects integrity and gets the consignment there as quickly as possible — at any hour.
A single critical component holding up a production line, where the fastest dedicated run from supplier to factory floor restarts operations and minimises costly downtime.
Anything that must not change hands or sit in a depot — kept on one vehicle, with one driver, directly from collection to delivery.
Both direct and urgent are fast same day services, but they differ in one important way: whether your consignment travels on a fully dedicated, non-stop journey or a prioritised one. Understanding this helps you book the right service — and avoid paying for more than you need.
🎯 Which should you choose?
If your consignment needs the fastest, most secure point-to-point journey — its own driver, its own vehicle, no stops — choose same day direct. If you simply need fast same day delivery and your consignment can travel a prioritised route shared with other jobs, our same day urgent service delivers the same day at a lower cost. The price difference reflects the dedicated vehicle and non-stop routing that only the direct service provides.
The direct service level is available across the full vehicle fleet — from motorbikes for documents to 7.5 ton curtain siders for pallets and bulk freight. As a result, virtually any consignment type can be moved on a dedicated, direct A to B run.
Our same day direct service targets collection in under 60 minutes from any UK location — and considerably faster from major city centres such as London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh. As the fastest service level, your job is given the nearest available dedicated driver. Call 0330 223 4790 for a real-time availability check before you book.
A dedicated driver and vehicle are assigned to your consignment alone. They collect from you and drive straight to your recipient by the fastest available route — A to B, door-to-door — with no other jobs on board, no depot stops and no shared loads. Nothing comes between collection and delivery.
Yes — the same day direct service operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year with no exceptions. There is no reduction in service standard at any time. A booking at 3am on a bank holiday receives exactly the same dedicated, direct response as a booking at 9am on a Tuesday.
The key difference is whether the journey is fully dedicated. Same day direct gives you a dedicated driver and vehicle on a non-stop A to B run — the fastest, most secure option. Same day urgent prioritises your consignment ahead of economy jobs and delivers the same day, but it may share a route with other jobs. As a result, direct costs more but provides the quickest and most secure journey.

Choose same day urgent when you need fast same day delivery but your consignment does not require a fully dedicated, non-stop journey — and you would prefer a lower cost. Urgent prioritises your consignment ahead of economy jobs and still delivers the same day. If, however, you need the fastest possible point-to-point journey, a dedicated driver and the security of a non-stop A to B run, same day direct is the right choice.
