When life or business doesn’t fit into the standard 9-to-5, Frigate Express steps in. Our out-of-hours and weekend service ensures your parcels, documents, and consignments reach their destination when you need them, not just during office hours. This service is ideal for anyone—individuals, small businesses, or organisations—who can’t wait for the next weekday.

Remote collections, urgent deliveries, or time-critical consignments outside standard hours are all handled with the same professionalism and care as our regular services. We aim to remove the stress of delayed schedules, giving you confidence that your delivery will be made on time.

Booking an out-of-hours or weekend delivery is straightforward. You provide the collection address, description of the item, and delivery details, along with contact information. Our controllers then schedule a driver who will handle your consignment from start to finish. This process ensures clarity and avoids confusion about timing, especially when road restrictions or unusual access points are involved.

Consider a medical facility that needs urgent lab samples delivered late on a Friday. Or a retailer who receives a last-minute order and needs stock replenished over the weekend. Perhaps an individual needs an important document to reach a solicitor before Monday. These are exactly the situations our service is designed to handle.

Even if it’s a private delivery, such as sending a fragile or high-value item to a remote location after standard hours, Frigate Express can manage it safely. Each consignment is treated with the same priority and care as a daytime delivery.

I think one of the most memorable out of hours consignment we had to collect and deliver was a car part bought off eBay for a broken down car belonging to a man from overseas on holiday. From the buyers house straight to the guys mechanic.

Out-of-hours deliveries often involve items that require extra attention. Our vehicles are equipped with load straps, courier blankets, and other protective measures to ensure parcels arrive in the same condition they were collected. Dedicated vehicles mean your delivery won’t be mixed with other consignments, reducing the risk of damage or loss.

We also maintain close communication throughout the process. You don’t need to track parcels via an automated system; our controllers are available to provide real-time updates, arrange redirections, or manage cancellations if plans change. This level of oversight is particularly valuable when deliveries occur outside normal business hours, giving peace of mind that your consignment is monitored and secure. All we ask is that the information you furnish us with is current and upto date.

Because out-of-hours and weekend deliveries can vary in scope from a single letter to a van full of boxes it’s important to get in touch first. Providing details about the size, weight, and urgency of your item allows us to give an accurate quote and plan the route efficiently. This ensures you’re only paying for the resources required to complete the job safely and promptly.

In short, our out-of-hours and weekend service ensures that your delivery needs are met without compromise.
