Delivery in London
T&C Logistics delivers to all London boroughs and postcodes, including inner zones (EC, WC, N1, SW1, E1) and outer areas (SE, NW, W, E postcodes). Delivery typically occurs 60–90 minutes after collection, depending on traffic and final destination.

All vehicles are GPS tracked and insured; items are held accountable under our standard £10,000 liability cover, with optional top-up available.

Standard cover includes up to £10,000 cargo liability; additional cover for high-value shipments (artwork, jewellery, electronics) is available on request at time of booking.

Peak-hour runs (7–9am, 4–6pm, Friday) may take 90–120 minutes. We do not guarantee specific arrival times due to London congestion, but we prioritise speed and provide live GPS tracking.
- What time can you collect from Milton Keynes?
- T&C Logistics operates Monday–Sunday, 8am–8pm dispatch. Once you call or submit a booking, we collect within 30–60 minutes during these hours. For example, a 10am call receives collection by 10:30–11am; a 7pm call collects by 7:30–8pm. We do not operate 24/7, so bookings outside 8am–8pm are scheduled for the next operating window.
- Can you handle fragile or temperature-sensitive cargo on this route?
- Yes. Fragile items (artwork, machinery, glassware) must be packaged securely; we recommend professional wrapping and declaration of value for full insurance cover. Temperature-sensitive shipments (pharma samples at 4°C, ambient-temp diagnostics) travel in insulated or refrigerated units. Cold-chain items must be pre-chilled and notified at booking; we maintain temperature integrity throughout transit. All hazardous goods (chemicals, batteries, aerosols) require advance ADR notification and certified vehicles.
- Is the courier vehicle dedicated, or will it stop at other addresses?
- T&C Logistics operates dedicated point-to-point service for same-day courier runs. Your shipment travels on a single vehicle with no other stops unless you request a multi-drop service (in which case transit time increases per additional stop). Dedicated runs ensure faster delivery, no handling delays, and full accountability.
- What is the cost of a Milton Keynes to London courier?
- Pricing depends on shipment weight, dimensions, delivery address within London, and urgency.
