DCL Sameday
About us
DCL Sameday is headed up by Rupert Wills, a logistics veteran with over 20 years experience in the courier industry. It all started back in 2006 with 1 van and a determination to succeed. Our roots are firmly established in providing outsourced solutions to many of the national parcel carriers. Our clients are at the heart of everything we do, and we have established a solid reputation for providing reliable and robust final mile delivery solutions.
In more recent years, we have diversified into the express SAME DAY sector, further enhancing our service-offering to our clients (read more about this on our services page).
Rupert is supported in the business by his partner Gemma, and a fantastic team of hard working company drivers, as well as numerous sub-contractors located right across the country.
We are based in Plymouth in the beautiful county of Devon, but have a national reach thanks to our network of over 60,000 vehicles across the UK (read more about this on our services page).
If you are looking for a courier service-partner to help you with a single delivery or a national contract, we are here to help.
Sameday
When tomorrow is too late, you need our sameday service. Whether it’s a forgotten passport, an urgent spare part, or too fragile or high-value to trust with the overnight networks, we have you covered with our premium SAME DAY service.
We have access to literally thousands of vetted couriers right across the UK, ready to respond at a moment’s notice 24 hours a day. We can generally collect from most UK destinations within the hour, ensuring your goods are delivered in the shortest possible time.
Contract Logistics
With business customers in mind, our Contract Logistics service is ideal for any regular or repeat delivery and collection requirements you may have. Whether it’s 1 delivery a week, or 1,000 per day, we are sure to have the knowledge and experience to tailor a service to your exact needs. We can offer a local and nationwide courier service at great rates.
Multi Drop
For us, this is where it all began. We are able to provide a complete service for all your B2B or B2C multiple collections or deliveries. We can potentially supply a vehicle and driver in your corporate livery and uniform, so your customer need not know that we are not you!
We have a team of experienced and capable drivers, ready and able to step in and become an integral part of your operation. With full or half day rate options available, and our operations team overseeing the route planning and providing real-time back office support, we do the hard work so you don’t have to.
In-Night
We have provided in-night delivery services for a number of years, partnering with companies offering in-boot, parcel locker, and FSL pre 7am delivery solutions. We are experienced in offering tailored solutions in this sector and welcome conversations about partnering with any interested parties.
Our
Fleet
Using a mix of our own company fleet and sub contractor resource, we can tap into a fleet of thousands of vans of all shapes and sizes, located the length and breadth of the UK.
