How this route works
Book online or by phone, any hour of the day. A driver from our Smethwick base collects within 30 to 60 minutes, loads with the tail-lift, and drives straight to Exeter with no depot stops and no other customers' goods on board. You get a photo and a signed proof of delivery as soon as the goods are off the van.
M5 all the way. Exeter has no clean air zone and the M5 is toll-free; the city centre has pedestrian streets with morning loading only, and Marsh Barton is slow at peak times, so we plan around it.
Where we deliver in Exeter
Retail stock for the city and the shops at Marsh Barton, food and agricultural goods, airport freight, and pallets to the Sowton and Matford estates serving the whole of Devon.

Exeter is a long run, so we try to book a collection in Devon or Somerset for the Midlands on the return.

Questions about this route
How long does a dedicated delivery from Birmingham to Exeter take?
About 2 hours 50 minutes driving once the van is loaded, around 160 road miles. We collect within 30 to 60 minutes of booking, so a same-day delivery is normal.
Is Exeter a same-day delivery from Birmingham?
Yes. It is under three hours down the M5, so a morning collection is delivered mid-afternoon. Summer Friday traffic on the M5 can add an hour, so we leave earlier.
Do you cover Torbay and North Devon from Exeter?
Yes. Torquay, Paignton, Newton Abbot and Barnstaple are quoted as extra distance on the Exeter run, with extra drops added where needed.
Can you collect in Exeter and deliver to Birmingham?
Yes. Exeter is a long run, so we try to book a collection in Devon or Somerset for the Midlands on the return.
