Wakey, wakey rise and shine, make sure you are on the ball if you want a Same Day parcel collection, you need to place the order bright and early to get your parcel collected the Same Day as you place the order.

Parcelforce Same Day parcel collection

If you book Parcelforcebefore 11 am via the Parcel Monkey quote engine, it means that your parcel can be collected by them before the daily 6 pm cut off time, the very same day as you make the order. This service is ideal for parcels that are in a hurry as you can use the Parcelforce 24 service to get them delivered the Next Day or the Parcelforce 48 service for larger goods, or if you want to save on the cost of delivery.

Parcelforce courier collection is ideal as well if you don't have a printer, as UK domestic parcels booked on this service do not need a label attached to them as the driver brings it with them to the collection point.

DPD Same Day parcel collection

The technology and industry-leading courier DPD offer a same day collection service, available via the Parcel Monkey quote engine for a fraction of the price of booking directly. Just place the booking nice and early, before 9 am, and they will put you on the collection manifest to come and collect your parcel the very same working day. DPD also text you an hour time slot, so you will know exactly when the driver is due to come and take your goods on the same day as you book.

You will just place the order in the morning before 9 am, print out the shipping label we provide and wait for your text telling you when your parcel collection driver will arrive.

City Sprint Same Day Collection and Delivery

One of the best services we offer for those urgent parcels is City Sprint because they offer same day collection and delivery, 365 days of the year and 24 hours a day. They offer full tracking and a label, so no need for a printer. You can select a time slot for a collection that suits you, plus you can watch the courier via the tracking portal until the item is delivered to the recipient.

You can also choose a vehicle size which is perfect for your item, so if you have a small parcel or a large piece of furniture, City Sprint can help you out. Whatsmore, Parcel Monkey send so many parcels with City Sprint, you will enjoy discounted prices when you book their service via our quote engine.

What about a specific time slot?

When you book City Sprint, you can actually choose a time slot that suits your needs for the collection driver to come and take your goods. Your item will be collected approx between 30 mins before and after the time slot you book, depending on the volume of collections the carrier has.

For DPD, due to their innovative technology, they do text a time slot out to you so you have an hour collection slot, so you can know when to be in at home, or when to head down to reception if you are at work, to hand the parcel over. They won't be able to tell you at the time of booking what time they are coming to pick up, but you will be alerted when the driver is on the way to collect the parcel.

f you make a booking for the Same Day collection with Parcelforce, your parcel will be collected before the close of business which normally means 6 pm, as long as you make the order before 11 am and your Post Code is in a region where they can service this request.

Missed the Same Day collection time cut off?

No problem, sometimes when a parcel has got to go, it's got to go! If you have left it a little late to book a collection in for the Same Day collection, we have another alternative, which would be to book a Parcelforce Drop Off service or DPD Pick Up service meaning you can drop your parcel off at any time convenient for you.

You can find your nearest drop off location for either of these services

Some locations with DPD are open until late at night, perfect if you have something to post after work, or over the weekend.
