When something has to get from London to Edinburgh today, waiting on a depot-based network isn't an option.
Finance, festivals and government business drive the London–Edinburgh route the length of the country. We assign one dedicated driver who collects within the hour and drives the consignment straight up the A1 and M6 — around 405 miles, typically around 7 hours — with no depots, no overnight sorting and full tracking door to door.
Edinburgh to London Courier
The route runs both ways, and a good share of the work on it is southbound — businesses in Edinburgh sending into London against a deadline. We collect in Edinburgh within the hour and drive direct to London the same way: one driver, the A1 and M6 in reverse, roughly 405 miles and typically around 7 hours, with no depot stop and nothing else on the vehicle.
Southbound runs have their own timing question, which is the arrival rather than the departure — a consignment landing in central London at 5pm is a very different job from one landing at 11am. Tell us the deadline at the London end and we plan the Edinburgh collection back from it. Our vehicles are ULEZ- and Congestion-Charge-compliant, so wherever the delivery address sits in the city, the driver reaches it without a surcharge or a detour.
Going the other way, a London collection heads out on the A1 and M6 the moment it's loaded — same driver, same direct run, no sorting hub in between.

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!
