Same Day
Pallet
Same day availability and timing depend on the collection and delivery postcodes, booking time, driver availability, vehicle selected and access at both addresses.
Urgent delivery that moves today
When tomorrow is too late, a same day courier gives you a faster way to move time-critical goods between UK addresses. Instead of choosing a standard parcel service, your quote matches the route and shipment to available same day vehicle options.
That makes Same Day useful for far more than small parcels. Send an urgent document across a city, move replacement parts to a customer, transfer stock between sites or choose a larger van for bulky goods that need to reach their destination without waiting for the next working day.

How to book an urgent same day courier
Same day delivery is route-led rather than a standard nationwide parcel tariff. The collection point, destination, timing and vehicle all influence which service is suitable.

05
Track the urgent delivery
Once the shipment has been collected, use Interparcel tracking to follow its progress through to the delivery address.
Choose the right vehicle for the job
Same day delivery gives you more flexibility than a standard parcel network because different vehicles can be matched to different loads. The important part is choosing enough capacity before the driver arrives.
Motorcycle & car
- Best suited to documents and smaller urgent packages
- Useful for time-critical city and regional deliveries
- Check the individual service dimensions before booking
Small, SWB & transit vans
- More space for cartons, equipment and multi-item consignments
- Useful for business stock, replacement parts and larger parcels
- Allow room for protective packaging as well as the goods themselves
LWB, XLWB & Luton
- Designed for larger, heavier or bulkier urgent consignments
- Some services can accommodate palletised loads within vehicle limits
- Check site access and loading requirements before choosing a larger vehicle
Same Day is a collection service
Compare next day delivery
The driver comes to your chosen address, so there is no need to take the shipment to a parcel shop or locker. If same-day speed is unnecessary, compare our wider collection and next day services instead.

- Import urgent orders instead of retyping details
- Keep priority shipments inside your normal workflow
- Return tracking information to connected sales channels

- Identify which shipments genuinely need an urgent dedicated vehicle
- Review vehicle choice for documents, parcels, stock transfers and bulky loads
- Combine same day with next day, timed and economy options to control delivery spend

Answers to common questions about urgent couriers, collection times, vehicle sizes, palletised loads, evenings, weekends, tracking and transit cover.
Contact usWhat is same day parcel delivery?+
Same day parcel delivery is a courier service where a driver collects your shipment from a UK address and the service is arranged for delivery on the same day. Availability and timing depend on the route, booking time, vehicle required and driver availability.
How quickly can a same day courier collect?+
Collection times vary by courier, postcode, vehicle and driver availability. The quote and booking process shows the available collection timing for your route, so book as early as possible when the delivery is time-critical.
Can a same day courier collect from my home or business?+
Yes. Interparcel same day services are collection services. The driver collects from the home, office, warehouse or other eligible UK address entered during booking and transports the shipment using the selected vehicle service.
Which couriers offer same day delivery through Interparcel?+
Interparcel currently lists same day services from CitySprint and Zippd. Available vehicle options include motorcycles, cars and several sizes of van, depending on the courier and route.
Which vehicle should I choose for same day delivery?+
Choose a vehicle that can comfortably accommodate the complete shipment. Motorcycles and cars suit smaller urgent items, while small vans, transit-style vans, long wheelbase vehicles and Lutons are designed for progressively larger loads. Enter accurate shipment details and review the service information before booking.
Can I send a pallet with a same day courier?+
Some larger same day vehicle services can accommodate palletised or bulky loads where the goods fit safely within the vehicle's weight and dimension limits. Same day vehicle delivery is different from a standard pallet network service, so check the vehicle capacity shown for your quote.
Are evening and weekend same day services available?+
Yes, selected same day services operate during evenings or weekends. Availability varies by courier, location, timing and driver capacity, so use the live quote to check the options available for the collection and delivery postcodes.
Do I need a printer for same day delivery?+
Interparcel same day collection services are designed to be printer-free, so you do not normally need to print a shipping label. Always follow the instructions supplied with the individual booking.
Can I track my same day delivery?+
Yes. Same day services booked through Interparcel include online tracking. Tracking begins once the driver collects and scans the shipment, with updates available through the Interparcel tracking tools.
Is transit cover included with same day courier services?+
Interparcel services include an amount of transit cover depending on the individual service. The inclusive amount is shown during booking, and Enhanced Transit Cover may be available for eligible goods if additional protection is required.
Can I book same day delivery outside the UK?+
Interparcel same day services are for UK domestic routes. For shipments travelling overseas, compare our international express delivery services instead.
Should I choose same day or next day delivery?+
Choose same day when the shipment genuinely needs to arrive on the day it is collected. If delivery on the following working day is suitable, a next day service will usually give you a wider choice of parcel couriers and service types.
