CONTRACT RUNS – REGULAR & SCHEDULED COURIER SERVICES

Reduced Rates for Contract Runs

At Cambridge Courier Services, we understand the importance of consistency and reliability when it comes to your regular delivery needs. That’s why we offer tailored contract runs at reduced rates, providing your business with dependable, cost-effective logistics solutions.


What Are Contract Runs?

Contract runs are pre-scheduled, regular delivery services designed to fit seamlessly into your business operations. Instead of booking individual jobs ad hoc, you benefit from:

  • A regular timetable for collections and deliveries
  • Agreed rates and clear pricing
  • Guaranteed availability and SLA’s
  • Consistent service — ideal for recurring logistics needs

Whether you need daily, weekly, or monthly deliveries, we can create a bespoke service agreement that meets your specific requirements.


Vehicles Available for Contract Runs

We allocate vehicles based on the size, weight and nature of the consignment to ensure safe, secure transport.

  • Small vans — ideal for documents and small parcels
  • Medium (SWB) vans — light commercial deliveries
