Same Day Courier Leicester
Leicester sits in the middle of the country's distribution heartland, so almost everything here runs to somebody's cut-off. A part that misses one doesn't just arrive late: it holds up a production line, a trailer or a promise made to a customer.
A dedicated run takes the timetable out of it. We collect quickly, drive direct and tell you honestly what's achievable before you book, not at five o'clock when it's too late to do anything else. That matters most to firms offering same day delivery Leicester customers are already expecting.

Leicester Same Day Couriers: the Ring Road, the M1 and the M69
Leicester's advantage for urgent work is where it sits: the M1 and M69 meet at junction 21, just outside the city, so a job collected here can be heading north, south or west within minutes. Inside the city it's the ring road that decides how quickly a driver reaches you, and the approaches tighten noticeably at rush hour. For the distribution sites out towards Magna Park and Lutterworth, we plan around gate and loading times rather than the distance on the map.

Comparing Couriers? Ask These Five Questions
- 1 Will they give you a collection time before they set off? "Soon" is not a time you can pass on to a customer.
- 2 Do they understand booking-in slots? Magna Park and the big distribution sites turn vehicles away outside their slot.
- 3 Is it the same vehicle from pick-up to drop? Every hand-over is a chance for a delay or a knock.
- 4 Does a Sunday job cost more? Some firms add a weekend surcharge; ask before you book.
- 5 Can they show you their insurance? Goods-in-transit cover should be something they can confirm in writing.
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!
