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 Northampton 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.
M6, M1 or the A45. Northampton has no clean air zone and no tolls; the main constraint is slot booking at the big distribution centres, where an unbooked van can wait hours, so we book ahead.
