A multi-drop run from Derby is one vehicle, your deliveries only, planned into a sensible order and completed in a single shift. Each drop gets its own photograph, signature and timestamp, so you can see which address took what without ringing the driver. It replaces the arrangement where your own van does a day’s round and nothing else gets done.
Send us the address list with anything time-sensitive flagged. We plan the order rather than running it in the sequence the spreadsheet happens to be in, which on a round of ten drops out of Derby is usually the difference between one shift and two.
Extra stops are priced per drop on top of the base run, so you can see exactly what adding an address costs before you add it.
Every drop is proved individually — photograph, signature, time — and the whole round appears in your login as it happens, so your office can answer "has it been?" without a phone call.
Road miles below were measured once by routing each city’s central postcode, not estimated, and the prices are what our own quote engine returns for that distance and vehicle. Prices are ex-VAT for a single collection and delivery during normal hours; out-of-hours, weekend and extra-stop charges are shown on your quote before you book.

Burton upon Trent, Belper, Ripley, Ilkeston, Heanor, Ashbourne, Alfreton, Swadlincote and the rest of East Midlands, with DE1 and the surrounding districts covered. If your postcode is not listed it is almost certainly still covered — this is the main areas, not the limit.
Derbyshire's engineering and manufacturing need fast couriers. Depot consolidation causes delays.
It depends on how tight the cluster is and how long each drop takes to unload. A compact round inside East Midlands can be twenty-plus; a spread of rural addresses is far fewer. We will tell you honestly what fits one shift.
A set rate per additional stop on top of the base journey, shown on the quote. No surprises at invoice.
