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 York 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.
M1, A1(M) and A64. York's clean air zone applies to buses only, so vans pay nothing; the city centre is pedestrianised during the day with narrow medieval streets and bars, so centre deliveries go in before the footstreets close.

Questions about this route
How long does a dedicated delivery from Birmingham to York take?
About 2 hours 40 minutes driving once the van is loaded, around 140 road miles. We collect within 30 to 60 minutes of booking, so a same-day delivery is normal.
Can you deliver inside York city walls?
Yes, before the footstreets restriction starts in the morning or after it ends in the evening. Some bars have width and height limits, so we plan the entry and use a trolley for the last part.
Do you cover Harrogate and Selby from York?
Yes. Harrogate, Selby and Malton are 30 to 40 minutes from York and are quoted as extra distance or extra drops on the same run.
Can you collect in York and deliver to Birmingham?
