What you can book during the limited service
From Monday 28 to Wednesday 30 December, our team covers:
- Same-day courier deliveries across London.
- Urgent deliveries for items that cannot wait until January.
- Man and van work for small moves and larger items.
- Regular routes by arrangement, for existing clients whose recurring deliveries have been agreed with us in advance.
Capacity on these three days is smaller than usual, so availability depends on how early you book. If we cannot cover a request well, we will tell you straight away rather than accept it and hope.
Planning deliveries before Christmas
December is the busiest month of our year, and the week before Christmas is the busiest part of it. Many businesses close early, buildings change their delivery hours and traffic is heavier.
Three things help most:
- Book planned deliveries early. Gifts, client hampers, documents that must be signed before the break and multi-drop runs are easier to plan in November or early December than in the final week.
- Check the recipient will be there. Offices, receptions and loading bays often close before Christmas Eve. Confirm who can receive the item and until when.
- Give us the full brief. What is moving, who can receive it, how access works, what the deadline is for and who can approve a change. Our guide to the delivery brief explains each point.
Regular deliveries over the holidays
If we run a regular route for you, we will agree the Christmas and New Year schedule with you directly: which days the route runs, which it pauses and when it restarts in January. Please tell us early if your own opening hours change. If you are planning regular deliveries for next year, our regular delivery support is the place to start.
