Same Day Courier Preston
Preston sits where the M6, M55, M61 and M65 meet, which makes it one of the best-connected places in the North West and a natural hub for urgent deliveries. The catch is that most of those motorways jam at the same junctions at the same times.
Our job is to plan around that. You book, you're given a collection time, and one of our North West drivers carries your consignment, on its own, straight to the receiver, whether it's a Tuesday morning or a Sunday night. If it can't arrive before they close, we tell you at the quote.

- 03 · Your goods, nothing else The vehicle carries only your consignment and heads straight for the delivery address, with no depot stop.
- 04 · Delivered and confirmed When it's handed over, we pass on the receiver's name and the exact time.
The M6, the M55 and the M65
The M6 runs north to south along the city's eastern edge, with the M55 branching west to Blackpool, the M65 east to Blackburn and Burnley, and the M61 heading south to Bolton and Manchester. The A6 carries traffic through the centre, and the bridges over the Ribble funnel everything coming up from South Ribble and Leyland. Our drivers time each run around those pinch points.
Same Day Delivery Preston: Seven Days a Week
Plenty of local firms close at the weekend and plenty of national sites have no one nearby. We run every day and night of the year with drivers based in the North West, and our London team backs them up when a job needs a Luton or two people.
Next Day Delivery from Preston
For the far south or Scotland, an overnight run is often the better fit. A driver collects from you in Preston today and delivers tomorrow to any mainland address, still in one dedicated vehicle and tracked throughout. Next day and overnight courier →

Courier Companies Preston: Five Questions to Ask
- 1 Are they open on a Saturday night? Urgent jobs don't keep office hours. Check whether the phone is answered at weekends before you rely on a courier.
- 2 Where is the driver based? A courier with drivers in the North West reaches Preston far sooner than one sending a van up the M6 from the Midlands.
- 3 Will your goods change vans? Every transfer adds delay and risk. Direct means one vehicle from collection to delivery.
- 4 Is the Fylde and East Lancashire priced fairly? Blackpool, Blackburn and Burnley should be charged by the mile, not with a remote-area premium.
- 5 Can you see the rate before booking? A published per-mile price lets you check a quote against it.
Fantastic service - absolutely saved the day and will 100% use again!
Excellent service. Request made 24 hours before the required collection and delivery, fully kept up to date, on time and updated throughout the collection and delivery. Thoroughly recommend.
Arrived early, delivered early. Confirmed delivery immediately on sensitive drop. They answer the phone, and are a million lightyears better than their competitors at everything that they do. Hard to fault anything.
So impressed with Red Eagle. They have been fantastic at communicating promptly and after years of using various unreliable couriers, it’s so refreshing to find one that’s so great at customer service, and pricing!
Excellent service – highly recommended!

We used Red Eagle Logistic Ltd to collect and transport a large donation of mobility equipment for Restart Mobility CIC. The service was excellent from start to finish.
Communication was very good, the collection and delivery were handled professionally, and everything arrived safely.
As a small organisation supporting people with disabilities, finding a reliable transport company is extremely important to us. We are very grateful for their service and hope to work with Red Eagle Logistic again for future collections.
Thank you from everyone at Restart Mobility CIC. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m honestly so happy with the service I received from Red Eagle Logistics. I was a little worried at first because I’d never arranged this type of delivery before, especially as the medication was expensive and very sensitive to temperature.

I contacted them at very short notice to transport my vaccines from Croydon to Peterborough, and within about an hour of my enquiry everything was arranged and collected.
The gentleman who collected and delivered them was fantastic. He kept in communication with me throughout the journey and even took pictures at both collection and delivery, which really reassured me that everything was being handled properly.
My medication arrived safely, communication was excellent from start to finish, and their price was also much more reasonable than other quotes I received.
Very prompt, reliable and professional service. I’m genuinely happy I found them and will definitely use them again in the future. I would absolutely recommend Red Eagle Logistics. Thank you! 🙏🏽
Red eagle delivered my parcels with professional standards and on time. Would 100% recommend!
