Urgent runs from Bury on one van
Bury sits on the M66, so an urgent item heading for Manchester, Salford or the M62 is soon on its way once loaded: junction 2 for the A58 into the centre, junction 3 for Pilsworth and Unsworth. The part that takes time is getting the van over to Bury in the first place, 50 to 65 minutes from Bradford. Tell us the pick-up, the drop and the size of the thing, and the answer comes on the call: today, or the next opening.
In town, the drop point decides how it is done. A shop on The Rock or Princess Parade is served from South Back Rock or a side road, because the shopping streets are pedestrian. A unit at Pilsworth Trading Park or on the Irwell Industrial Estate needs a named person and the goods-in hours. Lengths of pipe, trunking or board lie flat on the 3.4m load floor, with 1.3m between the wheel arches.
What to send for a same day Bury run
- Both addresses, a name and phone number at each end, and the latest time it can arrive
- Rough size and weight, and whether any piece is longer than 3m
- For a town-centre shop, the nearest road where a van can pull in
- A paid order with its reference ready at the trade counter
- If today is already full, you are offered the next opening instead

Same Day Courier in Bury: your questions
Can you always do a same day job in Bury?
No. With one driver it rests on that day's diary, and the van has the Pennines to cross first. Ring early and you will know on the call whether it can go today.
Can you carry long lengths such as timber or pipe?
Yes, up to 3.4m lying on the floor, with 1.3m between the wheel arches. Give the length when you call.
Do you take pallets?
Not ones that need a forklift. Goods are lifted by hand.
Can you wait while a Bury trade counter makes up the order?
Yes, for a short while, though waiting time is part of the price. A paid order that is already picked keeps the run quicker.
