Bespoke courier solutions for jobs with constraints
Some jobs don't fit a category: several vehicles moving together, a driver waiting on site between two halves, a sequence that has to happen in order. Describe the constraint rather than choosing a service, and a controller works out what it needs.
- Booked with a person
- Price agreed before collection
- Quoted from two postcodes
What kind of brief ends up here?
The ones with an awkward shape rather than an awkward load. Three vans leaving at staggered times so a shop floor fills in the right order. A collection that can't happen until a delivery is signed for. A run that has to wait for a road to reopen.
Usually the customer already knows what the difficulty is and just can't find the box to tick. That's fine — dispatch would rather hear the constraint in your words than have you pick the nearest-looking service and hope.
- Several vehicles coordinated on one job
- A driver waiting between a delivery and a collection
- Drops that must happen in a set order
- Recurring contract routes with their own rules
How does a bespoke job get priced?
As one job, not as parts added together. A controller scopes it with you, confirms a single figure, and owns it from there. If it turns out an ordinary booking covers it, you'll be told that instead — most enquiries here end up as a same day courier job, and that's a cheaper answer.
- How many vehicles, and for how long
- Waiting time built into the plan
- Whether it repeats, or happens once
- Access or timing constraints at either end
How booking works
How does booking a Bulb Transport courier work?
- 01
Tell dispatch what you are moving
Use the quote form or call dispatch with the collection and delivery postcodes, what is travelling and when it needs to arrive.
- 02
Get one fixed price and a dedicated vehicle
Dispatch confirms a fixed price and sends one vehicle and one driver for your job alone, with no hubs and no handovers.
- 03
Track it and receive proof of delivery
Follow the vehicle live while it is moving. The signed proof of delivery is emailed to you as soon as the job is complete.

FAQs
Questions we get asked
What should I have ready before calling?
The addresses, the dates, and the thing that makes it awkward. You don't need dimensions or a service name. If you can say what has to be true for the job to work, a controller can price it from there.
Can you run a job needing more than one vehicle?
Yes, and it is coordinated as one job with one controller rather than several bookings that happen to be on the same day. Staggered departures and sequenced arrivals are planned rather than hoped for.
Can a driver wait on site between two halves of a job?
Yes. Waiting time is built into the plan and priced up front, which is cheaper and more reliable than sending a second van back later in the day.
Do you handle recurring contract routes?
Yes. Give dispatch the routes, the days and the rules that apply, and it is priced as a standing arrangement, usually with the same drivers so the sites stay familiar.
