If you’re looking for a reliable way to move goods on a regular schedule, contract and regular courier runs are what you need. This service is designed for businesses, organisations, or individuals who have repeat delivery requirements and want a dependable, predictable solution. Rather than arranging a courier each time you have something to send, a contract run sets up a scheduled route, making it simple, efficient, and cost-effective.

At its core, a contract or regular run is about consistency. We agree on the collection and delivery points, the frequency of deliveries, and any special handling requirements. This could be daily, weekly, or even multiple times per day. Once established, your items are picked up and delivered according to the agreed schedule without the need to rebook each time. This saves time and ensures your operations run smoothly.

The first step is to get in touch with us and outline your needs. We’ll want to know the number of stops, addresses, volume of consignments, type of goods, and any time-sensitive requirements. The more detail you provide, the better we can plan the route and allocate the appropriate vehicle. Our drivers are familiar with standard and more complex delivery routes and are capable of handling the logistics involved in repeat runs, ensuring that your items are delivered on time, every time.

One of the main advantages of a contract courier service is reliability. Since these are scheduled runs, you can count on your consignment reaching its destination without delays or last-minute changes. Our team keeps track of each run and can adjust routes if needed for traffic, roadworks, or other obstacles while maintaining the agreed delivery times. This level of predictability is invaluable for businesses that rely on punctual deliveries, whether it’s sending stock to retail outlets, moving documents between offices, or distributing supplies to multiple sites.

Pricing for contract runs is typically agreed upfront, based on the frequency, distance, and size of consignments. This means you won’t face unexpected costs, and budgeting becomes straightforward. Fixed costs and transparent pricing give peace of mind, allowing you to focus on running your business instead of worrying about courier fees.

Safety and care are also a priority. Even though these runs are regular, each consignment is treated individually. Our drivers handle packages carefully, use appropriate securing methods, and are trained to deal with any special handling requirements. Whether the delivery involves sensitive documents, fragile items, or valuable goods, we make sure everything arrives in the same condition it left.

Another benefit is flexibility. While the schedule is fixed, we can accommodate changes when required. Need an additional drop-off one day? A cancellation or reschedule? Our controllers manage these adjustments quickly and efficiently. You won’t have to wait in a queue or navigate complicated tracking systems. A simple call lets us adapt the service to your needs without disrupting the overall route.

Contract runs are suitable for a wide range of businesses and situations. Small local firms may use them to move stock between locations, larger companies may run multiple daily routes to cover regional needs, and even professional services such as labs or clinics might need scheduled deliveries of sensitive or urgent items. Essentially, if your business relies on predictable and dependable movement of goods, a contract or regular courier service makes life simpler.

It’s worth noting that while the service is designed to be dependable and regular, planning is crucial. We encourage customers to provide as much information as possible about each delivery point, loading facilities, and the nature of the consignments. This ensures that the correct vehicle, driver, and resources are allocated for each run.

To summarise, contract and regular courier runs provide a simple, effective solution for repeated deliveries. They remove the hassle of booking each delivery individually, provide transparent pricing, and ensure your consignments are treated with care and professionalism. The scheduled nature of the service gives peace of mind, knowing that whether it’s a weekly stock movement, daily document drop, or multi-stop regional run, your deliveries will be handled efficiently and reliably.

If your business has regular delivery needs, setting up a contract run with Frigate Express makes sense. One call, a clear schedule and your consignments are taken care of leaving you free to focus on running your business while we handle the logistics.
