Cambridge courier services for equipment, parts and pallets

When a Cambridge workshop needs a replacement part or a team is waiting for equipment, ACS arranges a dedicated vehicle to collect and deliver direct. We handle same day and planned journeys from offices, science and technology parks, research campuses and warehouses.

Tell us what is moving, when it is ready and when it must arrive. We confirm the right vehicle and price before dispatch. Once collected, your goods stay on the dedicated vehicle and travel direct, unless agreed otherwise.

Questions about booking

How quickly can you collect from Cambridge?

Vehicle availability changes throughout the day. For collection within 90 minutes, a fixed delivery deadline or urgent out-of-hours collection, call 01234 385970 before booking. Standard online courier bookings require at least 90 minutes’ notice.

Do you collect from Cambridge Science Park and the Biomedical Campus?

Yes. We can arrange collections from both locations and other business or research sites across Cambridge. Please provide the exact building, site contact, loading instructions and any access or security requirements.

Is the vehicle dedicated to my delivery?

Yes. The vehicle is allocated to your consignment. Your goods stay on the same vehicle from collection to delivery, without shared loads or depot sorting, unless another arrangement is agreed.

What vehicles are available?

We arrange small, SWB, LWB and XLWB vans, Luton box and Luton curtain vans, plus 7.5T, 18T and articulated trucks. Choose using the full load dimensions, gross weight, loading method and site access. Tell us in advance if a tail lift is required.

Can I get a quote and book without an account?

Yes. Start with two postcodes and add your timings to compare standard van prices. No email is required to see prices and no portal account is needed to book. HGV and ADR requests are priced manually. An approved-account booking request requires ACS approval; wait for booking confirmation.

Can you carry hazardous goods?

Suitable ADR movements can be arranged after a manual review. Use the ADR quote form and provide the classification, quantities, packaging and supporting documents, including a UN number, proper shipping name, class and packing group where applicable. A quote request does not reserve a vehicle.

How much loading time is included?

Van services include 30 minutes at each stop; HGV services include 60 minutes at each stop. This applies to collection, delivery and any additional stops. Additional waiting charges may apply after this allowance. Loading and unloading are the sender’s and receiver’s responsibility unless agreed in advance. Any different allowance expressly agreed for your booking applies.

Can I view 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.

Can you collect equipment and pallets from Cambridge business sites?

Yes. We arrange dedicated transport for suitably packed equipment, components and palletised goods from Cambridge offices, business parks and research sites. Supply the exact building and loading point, packed dimensions, gross weight and handling instructions. Contact ACS before booking medicines, biological samples or temperature-sensitive goods so suitability can be confirmed.

Read our terms and loading guidance before booking.
