55 miles to the first pick-up: planning a same-day Chorley job
Because the van is based in Bradford, every Chorley collection begins with the run along the M62 and M61, 65 to 80 minutes before anything is loaded. Calling first thing gives the most room. A full postcode matters, as a unit at Botany Bay Business Park comes off junction 8 while a house on Chorley Moor is reached through the town.
Your item rides alone in an otherwise empty van and goes directly to the drop. North, the M61 meets the M65 for Preston and Blackburn; south, it joins the M60 for Bolton, Salford and Manchester; and the M6 at junction 27, reached by the B5251 and A49, leads on to the M58 for Ormskirk and Liverpool. The load space is 3.4m long, so a length of pipe or a door travels as easily as a parcel.

Same-Day Courier in Chorley: your questions
Can you take something from Chorley to Manchester today?
If the diary has room, yes. Ring with both postcodes and the deadline, and the van collects in Chorley and heads down the M61 with only your item aboard.
How quickly can the van get to Chorley?
The drive from Bradford is 55 miles on the M62 and M61, so 65 to 80 minutes before it reaches you, traffic permitting.
Is there anything you won't carry?
Hazardous goods, live animals and chilled or frozen items are refused. Envelopes, boxed stock, parts and long lengths up to 3.4m are all fine.
Can a part go from a Buckshaw Link unit to a site in Preston the same day?
Yes, when the diary allows. Give the unit, the name of whoever releases the part and the Preston drop address, and the van goes up the M61 and M65 without stopping anywhere else.
