London to Paris in half a day!

Yes it's very achievable, we know because we have done it on many occasions, this of course is quite dependent on Euro tunnel delays. Our Euro motorbike couriers carry the documentation required to legally ride into Europe at all times, our biker will arrive at the collection point with a full tank of fuel on board his large touring motorcycle (which will enable him to ride straight to Paris without having to refuel).

Once the motorbike courier collects in London its a short swift ride to Folkestone Euro tunnel which they have covered  approx a quarter of the total journey distance to Paris.
Once on board the train its a short 35 minutes under the English Channel to reach French soil and back onto the motorbike for the remaining 288 kms (180 Miles).

Arrived safely just in time to see Paris par la lumiere de la rue

Using the E15 Toll auto route ensures the motorcycle courier maintains a good pace heading south to Paris, whilst the roads generally tend to be quieter than the UK's motorway network they are not immune to horrendous  traffic jams especially in the summer months the closer you get to Paris, so the Motorbike undoubtedly ensures the shortest possible delays.
Delivered to its destination at La Defense, a major business district in Paris, safe, secure and above all fast in around four & half hours. 
For piece of mind you can also keep a real time check on its progress within metres of its location at any time using a personalised tracking link.
Our Euro bikes are ready to go to any European destination you only need to ask!

24/7 Couriers

We've had a number of callers at what you may term unsociable hours, where the caller has indicated that they have tried a few other couriers without an answer. We of course will always answer the phone, on this occasion it was 9 pm and the caller needed his passport at a consular service agent in London for 7am in the morning. After agreeing to our quote (which incidentally did not carry any sort of out of hours surcharge) arrangements were made for the courier to collect that evening and set off early in the morning directly from his home, this suits us as it doesn't matter how quiet you try to be, an unusual motorbike driving down a residential street at 5 am in the morning will always disturb someone, I know this personally as our dog barks if a motorbike with a different tone to mine passes the house.

 The passport was delivered as soon as the agent was open and the biker was on his way out before the capital had woken up.

On the subject of out of hours surcharges, we do not add charges for this reason. In many respects it's far easier for a courier to go about his business out side the normal working hours, there's less traffic in the middle of the night. I was shocked a couple of months ago to learn when giving out such a quote that a major London based courier had loaded the quote by around 50% for the out of hours requirements,  knowing how these sort of companies work they were highly unlikely to be offering the courier an increased tariff due to the unusual collection times. This is of course subject to ensuring that the courier has been rested enough during the day to enable a late/early job.

I should have seen it coming

I didnt notice it was the last day of the quarter, always a favorite for deliveries to companies house. Customer informed us it had to be there for 5pm as they close but it may not be ready til quite late, now Companies House London has recently moved to a building behind Victoria Street in SW1 but previously at their old building they allowed submissions to be posted through their letterbox after the office closes at 5pm and right up until midnight after which the post is cleared and all further post is then considered delivered on the next working day Monday.
On our first trip to Companies House we established that the after hours posting is also the case at the new building, and also learnt that the Cardiff office is open tomorrow and submission would still be in time at this office, our customer was very relieved and has now booked a a bike to take documnets to Cardiff tomorrow so a small amount of work on our part has rewarded us with another booked job on a Saturday!

The first call of the day saw one of our motorbike couriers heading up to Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire for some urgent  personal property to go to Yorkshire, an excellent response time was achieved and the biker was quickly en route for Sheffield despite the poor weather he was there and delivered in 90 minutes from collection, customer was very pleased and has now requested to open a 30 day account. Another bike was pre booked yesterday so was already on the road heading to a Lawyers in Mayfair the heart of London's west end, once delivered the biker headed over to Victoria for a visa collection for another of our customers.
The returning bike from Sheffield called into Northampton on the way back to complete one of our long standing regular non cash banking runs which heads into Milton Keynes, conviently slotting in our very short run into the middle of that.


The Van was also busy today with deliveries into London and a collection of the exhibition boards we took down last night, unfortunately the collection time of 4pm on a Friday places the van on one of the major exit routes the A41 from London in rush hour, after taking nearly an hour to reach the bottom of the M1 the rest of the journey back to Milton Keynes was relatively jam free and rolling along at a constant speed and the boards were delieverd into our customers premises  just 2 hours after collection on a Friday evening.
