How It Works

You deal with ACS from booking to delivery

Start with your route, timings and load details. For standard van work, compare prices online and select a vehicle suitable for the goods. Use the public HGV quote form or ADR quote form for larger or hazardous loads. These requests are reviewed and priced manually.

ACS remains your point of contact from booking through to delivery. Dedicated transport follows the agreed route without routine parcel-hub handling. A manual quote request does not reserve a vehicle; ACS must confirm the booking.

Common questions

Courier collection & coverage FAQs

Do you only collect from the six locations listed?

No. The six pages are local guides. ACS arranges dedicated courier and haulage collections across England, Scotland and Wales, subject to vehicle availability. Contact ACS for Northern Ireland, islands or journeys involving a ferry so the route and price can be confirmed manually.

Can I get a courier quote without an account?

Yes. Start with collection and delivery postcodes, then add your timings and compare standard van prices. No email is required to see prices and you do not need a customer portal account to book.

How quickly can you collect?

Standard online courier bookings require at least 90 minutes’ notice. For collection within 90 minutes, a fixed delivery deadline or urgent out-of-hours collection, call 01234 385970 before booking. ACS will check vehicle availability and confirm the delivery plan.

Can I request HGV or ADR transport from these areas?

Yes. Use the public HGV quote form for larger loads or the ADR quote form for hazardous goods. Both are reviewed and priced manually. Submitting a request does not reserve a vehicle; ACS must confirm the booking.

What should I check before booking a vehicle?

Provide accurate load dimensions, quantity and total weight, along with access restrictions and any delivery slot. Loading and unloading must be arranged by the sender and receiver unless agreed with ACS. Tell us before booking if a tail lift or extra assistance is needed.

Can I view delivery updates and proof of delivery?

Approved company users can find bookings and the latest recorded shipment updates in the ACS customer portal. Proof of delivery is available once released. You can book a public courier delivery without portal access and contact ACS for an update.
