Why customers
love Xtra Mile.
I can honestly say they are very professional and reliable. Everything is well-organised, communication is clear, and they make the job straightforward. It’s a great company to work with and I’d highly recommend them
Great service, reliable and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent company. Great communication. Highly recommended.
Excellent experience working with Xtra Mile Couriers! Daniella and the team are highly professional, efficient, and ensure everything runs smoothly. Their communication is top-notch, and the delivery was handled with great care. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable courier service. 5 stars well-deserved!
As the owner of RIGS & GIGS, I've finally kicked my Uber delivery habit thanks to Xtramile Couriers. These guys have transformed how we handle our AV equipment logistics.
The difference? Real savings on every job and service that actually understands our industry. When we need kit moved between venues or last-minute gear delivered to a shoot, Xtramile delivers - literally.
Excellent service! The delivery was fast, tracking was accurate, and the package arrived in perfect condition. Courteous staff and smooth communication throughout. Highly recommended.
Highly recommend this company!
Great shipper to work with. The service was great and staff were very friendly and helpful
Questions, answered.
Everything buyers usually ask before moving their same-day courier to us. If yours isn't here, drop us a line.
How quickly can you collect once I book?
Our average despatch time is under 15 minutes from booking confirmation. In central London during business hours, collections typically happen within 20–30 minutes. Outside of Greater London, collection windows are usually within 60 minutes.
If you need something collected within a specific shorter window, call us directly on 020 3750 2330 — we can often prioritise urgent jobs above standard queue.
Do you cover the whole of the UK or just London?
Both. Our primary strength is London same-day — but our network covers 76+ UK cities with direct, point-to-point same-day deliveries. No relay handoffs between depots, which is the main reason packages go missing or get delayed with national couriers.
For international, we use trusted partners for final-mile delivery with full tracking end-to-end.
How does pricing work? Are there hidden fees?
Pricing is based on four simple variables: collection postcode, delivery postcode, vehicle type, and service level. You see the full price before you book — no booking fees, no surprise surcharges at month-end.
Cargo bike deliveries start from £12. Motorcycle from £18. Cars from £28. Vans from £45. Business accounts get bespoke volume pricing after we understand your typical routes.
What kind of tracking do you provide?
Every job is tracked live via GPS from collection to delivery — visible to you through our web portal or SMS link. You'll also get proactive notifications at each milestone: driver assigned, collected, en route, and delivered. If anything changes (traffic, weather, an access issue at the destination), we alert you before it becomes a problem.
Proof of delivery is captured digitally — signature plus photographic proof — and emailed to you the moment the delivery completes.
Can you handle medical and pharmaceutical deliveries?
Yes — this is one of our specialisms. We are ISO 13485 certified and MHRA registered, and our couriers are GDP and GMP trained. We handle pathology specimens, clinical trial samples, pharmaceuticals, controlled drugs, and patient-specific medication with full chain-of-custody documentation.
Our biggest medical client, The Doctors Laboratory, ranks us as their #1 supplier — up from 37th when we started. We've moved 39,703 documented delivery stops across 581 UK postcodes with zero specimens lost on our watch. Full detail on our Medical page.
Do I need a business account to book?
No — one-off bookings are absolutely fine. Use the booking panel on our homepage, pay by card, and you're done.
If you're sending multiple deliveries a week (roughly five or more), a business account is usually worth setting up. You get 30-day payment terms, a smart booking portal, instant VAT invoices, bespoke volume pricing, and a named account contact who knows your patterns. Setup takes under 24 hours.
What happens if something goes wrong with a delivery?
If we're running late, we call you before the delivery window closes — not after. Our operational intelligence system (TOM) flags at-risk deliveries proactively so we can reroute, reassign, or escalate before a problem reaches you.
If something does go wrong, you speak to the person who knows your account — not a call centre. All deliveries are fully insured and we have clear, written policies for claims and service credits on business accounts.
How do your eco-friendly options work?
In central London, we offer zero-emission cargo bikes for documents and parcels up to 80kg. They're often the fastest option in traffic anyway — so you get greener and quicker in one choice.
Our electric vehicle fleet is expanding through 2026 into urban zones beyond central London. If your business has a sustainability reporting requirement, we can provide delivery-level emissions data on a recurring basis.
Can I integrate Xtra Mile with my e-commerce platform?
Yes. We have direct API integrations with Shopify, Amazon and eBay, and can build bespoke integrations for other platforms on request. Business accounts also get access to our bulk-upload tool for same-day despatch of multiple orders.
If you're running same-day fulfilment at any volume, talk to our Business team — we can usually match or beat what you're paying for national next-day.
How do I get started?
For a one-off delivery: use the booking panel at the top of this page. Enter collection and drop-off postcodes, pick a vehicle, pay by card, and you're booked.
For a business account: call us on 020 3750 2330 or fill in the form on our Contact page. We'll get back to you within 30 minutes during Customer Care hours.
