Wait & Return Courier

Wait & Return
Same-Day, Both Ways

Similar to an A to B delivery, but your courier waits at the destination and returns the items back to the original collection address — all on the same day. Ideal for documents needing signatures and items that must come straight back.

How it works

Out and back, the same day.

Drop, witness, return — all in one direct run with the same courier.

Within minutes Driver Assigned

You'll know who's collecting and returning

As soon as the booking is assigned, we email you the driver's name, phone number, and vehicle (make + registration). The same person will collect, witness, and return.
Live tracking^* On the Way

Watch the courier arrive

Track the courier live to your collection address. The same view follows them out to the destination and back again.
Photo + location sent Collected

Collected, photographed, en route

The driver photographs the goods at collection and we email it to you with the exact pickup pin. Then they travel directly to the destination — no stops, no detours.
Independent witness Waiting

Arrived, signed, witnessed

The courier follows any special instructions you've left and acts as an independent witness to the signature. They wait at the destination for the response or paperwork to come back.
POD email sent Returned

Back at your door, same day

Signed paperwork or returned items come back to the original collection address that same day. You receive a Proof of Delivery email with a photo of where it was returned to (e.g. "with reception").

Need the return next morning instead of same day? You can change the return date on the online booking form (small surcharge applies).

^*Live tracking is available on the majority of bookings. On very time-critical jobs we may occasionally assign a non-tracked courier to keep your collection window.

Wait & Return quote process

Enter your collection and delivery postcodes, then click Add Address and re-enter the original collection postcode as the third stop — our system will automatically detect it as a wait and return job and price the round trip in one go.

The middle address can be marked as either "Collection" or "Delivery" — the form treats it as both.

Vehicle type — the right size for your goods
Value of the goods — for insurance, so we assign a courier with the right cover
