Education courier for schools, colleges and universities
Deliveries and collections for schools, colleges and university sites, timed around the teaching day and taken to the building rather than the main gate. Site access is usually the hard part, not the distance, so dispatch plans the arrival first.
- Named person at handover
- Custody recorded at each step
- Booked with a person
What makes a campus delivery different?
A campus is a set of buildings with its own rules, not an address. Vehicles can't cross at pick-up time. The goods lift is on the far side. The person who signs for it teaches until half three. None of that shows up on a postcode.
So the job is planned from the access outward. Tell dispatch which building, which entrance, which hours vehicles are allowed and who is receiving, and the driver arrives able to complete rather than able to try.
- Lab and workshop equipment between sites
- Exam materials and sealed paperwork
- IT kit for a rollout or a refresh
- Library and archive transfers
What does an education courier cost?
Distance and the van, plus whatever the access adds — a timed window, a second person, a long carry from where the van can legally stop. A regular run between campuses is priced as a standing arrangement rather than booked each time.
- Miles between the two sites
- A timed window around the teaching day
- Help carrying, where the drop is far from parking
- Term dates, and whether the site is open

FAQs
Questions we get asked
Can you deliver outside lesson times?
Yes, and on most sites it is the only sensible option. Give dispatch the hours vehicles are allowed on site and the window is set to fit them rather than to suit the run.
How do you handle exam materials?
One driver from collection to handover, no depot stage, and a signature against a named person you give at booking. If your awarding body sets its own conditions, send them to dispatch before booking so they can be confirmed in writing.
Can you run between our campuses on a schedule?
Yes. Give dispatch the sites, the days and the windows and it is priced as a standing arrangement, usually with the same driver so the porters know who is coming.
Do you deliver during school holidays?
Yes, and the holidays are when most of the bigger moves happen. The catch is that sites are often unstaffed, so tell dispatch who will actually be there to open up.
Will you deliver to the building or just the gate?
To the building, and to the room where that is possible. Tell dispatch where the van can stop and how far the carry is. A long push across a campus is a two-person job, not a surprise on the day.
