Courier Service Newcastle upon Tyne
Our Newcastle drivers live in Newcastle. They keep their own cars, SUVs and vans, and they collect across Tyneside, Wearside and Durham in one vehicle that goes straight to the drop, day or night. When it is London, Leeds or Edinburgh instead, the same driver takes it down the A1 without a depot in between.

Same Day Courier Newcastle
Most of the same day courier pages you will find for Newcastle belong to national networks with a form and a call centre, and the driver who turns up has been sent from wherever the network could find one. Ours is different in one plain way: the driver is already here.
Our same day courier Newcastle service puts one local driver and one vehicle on your job alone. It is collected at the time we agree, driven direct, and signed for at the other end, whether that is Team Valley, the airport, Sunderland or the far end of the M1.

Same Day Delivery Newcastle: The A1, the Tyne Tunnel and the Bridges
A same day delivery in Newcastle is decided by which crossing you take and when. The Tyne Bridge and the Redheugh back up at the peaks, the A1 western bypass slows between the Metrocentre and Gosforth, and the Tyne Tunnel is the quick way to Cobalt and the coast when the bridges are full. Our drivers make those calls every day rather than following a satnav into the queue, and our vehicles are Clean Air Zone compliant, so a run through the city centre or Gateshead carries no charge and no detour.
Local Drivers Based in Newcastle, With Their Own Vehicles
This is the part most courier websites for Newcastle cannot say honestly. Our drivers here are not sent up from a hub when a booking comes in; they live in the city and keep dedicated vehicles, a car for documents and small boxes, an SUV for bulkier or more valuable items, and vans for pallets, stock and equipment. When you book, the collection time you are given comes from a driver who is already on Tyneside, and if the job needs a van rather than a car, the van is the one that comes.
Next Day Delivery Newcastle
Book it as next day delivery when tomorrow is soon enough and the price matters more than the hour: a Newcastle driver collects today, the consignment is driven to any UK address tomorrow by one person, and because the run is planned in advance it usually costs less than same day. Our next day and overnight courier service →
If it has to be on a desk in London or Birmingham when the building opens, the overnight version collects in Newcastle in the evening and is driven through the night, so it is waiting at reception rather than still on the A1.

Courier Companies Newcastle: Our Real Prices
Most courier companies Newcastle businesses find online will not put a number on the page. Ours is here: a dedicated vehicle, one job, the same figure at midnight as at midday, no account and no minimum. If what you are sending is small and can wait a few days, a parcel network will be cheaper and we will say so when you ring.
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.

Courier Newcastle to London & Back
A courier Newcastle to London job is about 280 road miles down the A1(M) and the M1, around five hours in one vehicle, from £386 for a car or small van and the same price in either direction. Our head office is in north-west London and our drivers are in Newcastle, so both ends of this run are home ground for someone. The London to Newcastle route in detail →
Send a Parcel to Newcastle upon Tyne
If you need to send a parcel to Newcastle upon Tyne and it is small, not urgent and not fragile, a parcel network will do it for a few pounds and we would rather tell you that than take the job. Where we come in is the consignment that cannot go through a network: the part a production line in Washington is waiting for, the sample a lab needs before it degrades, the signed original that has to be in a Quayside office by three o'clock, the pallet that would otherwise be split across two vans. For those, one driver collects anywhere in London and hands it to a named person in Newcastle the same day. Our London courier service →
Urgent Courier Newcastle
An urgent courier Newcastle booking starts at the deadline and works backwards. Because the driver is local, the time between your call and the collection is the time it takes to cross the city, not the time it takes to find a vehicle, and once it is loaded nothing else is picked up on the way. Tell us when it has to be in someone's hands and we will tell you whether it can be done and what it costs. Urgent and same day courier →

Lab and Clinical Trial Courier Newcastle
A lab courier Newcastle booking is one DBS-checked driver and one vehicle from collection to signature.

Courier Newcastle Airport
A courier Newcastle Airport job is usually about a flight: a part for an aircraft on the ground, a passenger's forgotten documents, freight that has landed and has to be at a customer this afternoon. The airport is a few miles up the A696 from the city, so a local driver can be at the cargo terminal or the handling agent quickly, and we carry the paperwork and references the airside gate will ask for.

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!

Courier Newcastle FAQs
Are your couriers actually based in Newcastle?+
Yes. Our Newcastle drivers live in the city and drive their own dedicated cars, SUVs and vans, so a local collection is handled by a local driver rather than a vehicle sent up from elsewhere. Our head office is in London, which is why the Newcastle to London run is one we do constantly.
How quickly can you collect in Newcastle?+
You get a collection time when you book, worked out from where you are and where our nearest Newcastle driver is at that moment. For a planned job, booking earlier in the day gives you the earliest slot; for an urgent one, tell us the deadline and we plan backwards from it.
How much does a courier in Newcastle cost?+
From £35 for the first 10 miles, then £1.30 a mile, including VAT, for a car or small van. Newcastle to Sunderland is about £37.60, to Durham about £42.80, to Middlesbrough about £71.40, to Edinburgh about £165 and to central London about £386. Vans are priced higher.
Do you cover Gateshead, Sunderland and the rest of Tyneside?+
Yes: Newcastle and Gateshead, North and South Tyneside, Sunderland and Washington, Cramlington and Blyth, Durham and Chester-le-Street, and out to Morpeth, Hexham and the Teesside towns.
Can you do same day Newcastle to London?+
Yes, in either direction. One driver, about 280 miles down the A1(M) and the M1, the same day, with no depot on the way, from £386 for a car or small van. The London end is our head office, so the delivery there is on home ground.
Can you collect from a hospital, lab or clinical site in Newcastle?+
Yes. Our drivers are DBS-checked and we are GDP compliant. Samples and trial materials travel in validated insulated packaging with gel packs as a single dedicated job, and the driver signs in and out the way the site requires.
Do you work nights and weekends in Newcastle?+
Every hour of every day of the year, and the price does not change after 6pm or on a Sunday. A late collection from the airport or a weekend run to a venue is a normal booking.
