B2B Courier: Business to Business, Door to Door
A b2b courier moves goods between two businesses that both have a deadline: the supplier who needs it gone and the customer who needs it now. A parcel network puts that consignment through a hub overnight. We put it in one vehicle with one driver and drive it there.
Nothing is scanned into a depot or handed between vans. The driver who collects from your goods-in is the driver who hands over at theirs, with a name and a time sent back to you. For anything confidential, controlled or fragile, that is the whole point.
Business Parcel Delivery Without the Depot
For a box that can take three days, a parcel network is cheaper and we will say so. Business parcel delivery with us is for the box that cannot: it is collected typically within the hour where our drivers are working, delivered the same day, insured in transit and never left in a sorting cage.

Courier for Business: Regular Runs, One Invoice
Most courier accounts are built for parcel volume: minimum spend, printed labels, a portal. A courier for business that runs dedicated vehicles works differently, and ours is deliberately simple.
- Pay per job, invoiced monthly. Book as often as you need during the month and get one invoice at the end of it, itemised job by job.
- Credit terms can be arranged. If your business wants terms rather than month-end settlement, speak to our operator and we set them up.
- One contact who knows your runs. No re-explaining the job each time. Your regular collections are on file with the addresses, the contacts and the timings.
- The same published rate. £35 including VAT for the first 10 miles, then £1.30 a mile, on account or not. There is no account surcharge and no minimum spend.
- A day's notice is plenty. Most of the businesses we collect for weekly give us about 24 hours' notice. Same-day bookings are still collected within the hour where our drivers are working.
Business Courier Account: How It Works
Ring 07300 832129 or send the addresses and timings through the quote form. We confirm the runs, the price per job and the invoicing day, and your first collection can be the same day. Our guide to how business courier accounts work covers the questions finance teams usually ask.
Business Delivery Service: What We Run Every Week
This is not a capability list. It is the work our drivers already do for the businesses we have regular runs set up with, none of whom we name.
- Morning, afternoon and evening rounds: scheduled runs that leave at the same time each day, so your consignments go out on a fixed rhythm rather than when someone remembers to book.
- Daily collections: medical companies, fashion businesses, charities and other firms have us collect every working day, with the same driver as often as the rota allows.
- Weekly stock collections: when stock runs low, a supplier collection is booked, usually a day ahead, and delivered to the shop, the warehouse or the workshop the same day.
- Ad hoc jobs between the runs: the signed contract, the sample for the lab, the part a vehicle is waiting for, on the same invoice as the scheduled work.
Multi Drop Courier Rounds
When you have several deliveries going out together, one driver takes them all in one run as a multi drop courier round: the stops are sequenced around your deadlines rather than a postcode sort, each drop is confirmed as it is made, and the whole round is one line on the invoice. Business delivery services that send the same stock to the same five addresses every week are the ones that save the most this way.
Business courier prices
Business Courier Prices: One Published Rate, On Account or Not
Business customers get the same rate as everyone else, which is the point: there is no account tariff to negotiate and nothing hidden. £35 including VAT covers the first 10 miles, then £1.30 a mile, for a car or small van, with vans and larger loads quoted on the same mileage basis. Weekends, nights and bank holidays cost the same, and a scheduled run is priced exactly like a one-off.
Our rate
Prices include VAT and are based on one-way mileage (collection to delivery). This is our entry rate for a car or small van — larger vehicles are priced higher, and we'll always confirm your exact price before you commit.
What that works out at
| From our Colindale (NW9) base to… | About | From |

Courier for Small Business: No Minimums
If you send one urgent job a month, you are as welcome as a firm that sends ten a day. A courier for small business from us means two postcodes, a price on the spot and no account to open first. When it becomes regular, we move you onto a monthly invoice, and nothing else changes.
Courier Services for Small Business
The jobs our small business delivery service runs most: an order that has to reach a customer today, a return that has to go back to a supplier, stock collected when it runs low, and the paperwork a deal is waiting on. All collected from your door, not a drop-off point, and all at the published rate.
Commercial Couriers for Trade and Industry
Trade counters, workshops, print finishers and small manufacturers use us as commercial couriers for the loads that will not go in a car. A commercial courier service on this basis means a dedicated van and driver for parts, print and stock, priced by the mile. Van courier → · Pallet delivery →

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!
