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 Southampton 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.
M40, A34 and M3. Port deliveries need the booking reference and the driver's details in advance. Southampton has no charging clean air zone for vans and the M3 and A34 are toll-free; the container terminal and cruise berths need a booking reference and the driver's details before arrival.
