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 Swansea 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, M50, A449 and M4. Swansea has no clean air zone and the Severn bridges are toll-free; the 20 mph default limit in Welsh built-up areas slows the last miles, and the city centre has timed loading on the main shopping streets.
