Same-day courier in High Wycombe
Rapid Despatch collects in High Wycombe by dedicated vehicle, around eighteen miles from our nearest branch. High Wycombe is a service area rather than a branch. We are an independent courier company trading since 2001, with four branches in Hampshire and Berkshire, covering Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey, and around 50 drivers.
Eighteen miles and one road from our branch region. Close enough that we will talk about the collection, not the drive.
Rapid Despatch collects same-day consignments in High Wycombe by dedicated vehicle, eighteen miles north on the A404 and the M40.
From High Wycombe a dedicated vehicle goes anywhere in mainland Great Britain, with the M40 immediately to hand for anything heading north.
Eighteen miles, and a motorway at the door
A High Wycombe job is usually allocated at our Reading branch, and the controller confirms it on the day. Which vehicle actually runs depends on where the nearest available driver is when you ring.
Eighteen miles is close enough that the collection is the whole question rather than the drive. The controller can usually see where the nearest vehicle is when you ring, and give you a window rather than a shrug.
In from Reading, and up the valley
The A404 from Reading joins the M40 at Junction 4, which puts a vehicle on the eastern side of the town in about twenty-five minutes. Junction 3 at Loudwater serves the eastern estates; Junction 4 serves Cressex and the south west.
High Wycombe's own shape then decides the last part. The town sits in a steep, narrow valley, and the main roads run along the bottom of it while a good deal of the housing and some of the smaller commercial units are up the sides. Those approaches are narrow and sometimes unsuitable for a larger vehicle.
Cressex Business Park is the main commercial destination and is straightforward from Junction 4. The town centre has the usual pedestrianised streets and loading windows. If your address is up one of the valley sides, say so and we will send something that fits.
What the cover is
Goods in transit insurance is provided. Account holders are covered to £25,000 on a dedicated vehicle up to 3.5 tonnes, and on other services liability is limited to £1,000 per tonne. Higher cover can be arranged before collection, so declare the value when you book. Read the full conditions of carriage

High Wycombe courier questions
Unusually good, because of the M40. A consignment collected here is already on the route to Oxford, Birmingham and the north west, so an onward run does not begin with a detour.
It depends on the distance, the vehicle, the timing and the access at both ends. See what a local job is priced on
