Same-Day Courier in Silsden

When something in Silsden has to be somewhere else today

Ring as early in the day as you can and say two things: when the load will be ready, and the latest time the other end can accept it. The van sets out each morning in Bradford, thirteen miles down the valley, so an early call has the best chance of fitting that day's diary. If today is already full you hear so on the first call, along with the next slot on offer, and you can decide whether to wait or look elsewhere.

Collection from a house is quick wherever the van can pull in. On the terraces off Bolton Road it stops at the kerb for the few minutes the handover takes, and on the newer streets off Howden Road and Hawber Lane it waits on the drive. Up the lane at Brunthwaite, say where the van can turn before it sets off. From there it goes straight to the other address, over the moor road to Addingham and the A65 for Leeds, or up the A629 for Skipton, with no sorting centre and no change of vehicle.

What to have ready before a same-day Silsden collection

• An accurate weight, since one driver loads it, with a trolley for anything heavy
• The latest time the other end can take it, and the name of the person who will receive it
• For a pickup out along Hawber Lane or at Brunthwaite, the house name as well as the postcode
• If the urgent item is waiting at a Keighley or Skipton shop, its collection hours and the order number
• Lengths of pipe, timber or trim up to the 3.4m load floor ride inside, out of the weather
• Chemicals, gas bottles, animals and chilled goods cannot go in the van
