Guide prices
Guide prices for a dedicated van from Harlow
Worked out from our published rate card, city centre to city centre. They are estimates, excluding VAT: your exact addresses will move the mileage, and every job is still priced by a person, who takes access, timing and waiting into account.

Runs of up to 100 miles are charged at each van's minimum (£140.00 + VAT for a small van). Each nearby figure is worked out on the longer of the two directions, so it holds whichever way the job runs.
Short local runs are rarely best served by a 100-mile minimum. Call us and we will price the job properly.

Courier and freight services in Harlow
Named sites such as Princess Alexandra Hospital are in Harlow; 3,495 businesses are registered in the Harlow council area — the local detail we plan a Harlow collection around.
Harlow sits in Essex, England with strong commercial and transport links to neighbouring towns. Braymore quotes collections from any Harlow address on all three services: same-day courier, next-day delivery and freight.
We quote same-day collections from homes, offices, factories, and warehouses throughout Harlow. On our same-day service, the job is handled by a single dedicated driver — collection to delivery, no hub stops. That means your consignment arrives faster and with a clear chain of custody from the moment we collect it to the moment it's signed for at the destination.
Businesses book us for a wide range of work patterns: ad-hoc one-off bookings when something needs to move today, scheduled regular collections for predictable volumes, dedicated next-day routes for retailers and wholesalers, and full-load freight when a sole vehicle is the right answer. The pricing and dispatch logic adjusts to the pattern; the underlying service quality doesn't change with the size of the booking.
Whatever the job, the principle is the same: one call, the right vehicle sized to the load, priced honestly, delivered on time. No hidden fees, no surprise surcharges, and a straight answer if anything about the job needs to change before collection.
Our services in Harlow
In Harlow we run all three core services. Same-day courier: collection within 60 minutes of booking, quoted for any address in Harlow, then a direct drive to anywhere in the UK with a single dedicated driver — no transfer points. Next-day delivery: low-cost UK-wide parcel and pallet service with guaranteed next-business-day arrival, collected from Harlow before our cut-off and delivered to the destination by end of next day. Freight & haulage: pallet network access, groupage, and full-load transport including refrigerated and oversized loads, with vehicles from 7.5-tonne lorries to 44-tonne articulated HGVs.
Each job is matched to a vehicle from the complete range: small vans for envelopes and small parcels, midi and long-wheelbase vans for furniture and bulky items, Luton vans for house clearances and small house moves, and 7.5-tonne to 44-tonne lorries for pallets and full-load haulage. We quote Harlow collections and deliveries on every service type, with the vehicle sized to the job rather than padding the price for an oversized truck.
Same-day courier in Harlow is single-vehicle service: we collect within 60 minutes of confirmation, drive direct to the delivery address, and complete the job inside the working day. Typical use cases: a part for a stopped production line, a contract that needs a counter-signature, a sample that must reach a lab today, or a high-value item that can't sit in a parcel network overnight.
Next-day is the cost-efficient lane for parcels and small pallets. Collected from Harlow by the afternoon cut-off, your consignment routes via our overnight network and arrives by the next business day. Useful for retailer stock replenishment, scheduled B2B supply runs, and anything else where a single extra day is acceptable in exchange for per-item pricing rather than whole-vehicle pricing.
Freight & haulage for Harlow customers covers the full spectrum: groupage (sharing a vehicle with other consignments) for cost-sensitive moves, dedicated vehicle (your load only) for time-critical or fragile freight, and full-load haulage when a 44-tonner is the right tool. ADR for hazardous cargo is available on request, and a pre-job site visit is included for any freight job involving complex unloading.
Areas we cover in and around Harlow
We quote collections from any postcode in Harlow and the immediate surrounding area — residential addresses, high-street businesses, industrial estates, and warehouses. Collections from industrial estates, business parks, trading estates and warehouse units across the Harlow area are quoted like any other job. Our drivers are set up for loading-bay windows, gated-estate access, and kerbside collections alike, so the pickup point itself rarely slows a booking down. Collections from nearby towns and cities, including Stevenage, Chelmsford, St Albans, London, Basildon, and Watford, are quoted on the same 60-minute collection window.
Any Harlow postcode can be quoted, including the CM20, CM19, and CM18 districts.
Collections across Harlow are planned against the real road network rather than a generic satnav ETA: we ask about loading-bay windows, industrial-estate barriers, pedestrianised streets with restricted delivery hours and narrow lanes at quote time, so the collection window we give you already allows for them.
Quotes aren't limited to the Harlow boundary — collections from surrounding villages, edge-of-town industrial estates, and the wider Essex catchment are quoted the same way. Home-customer payment is by card at booking; business accounts with consolidated invoicing can be set up after a short call to confirm volumes and terms.
Transport and logistics connections
Motorway access from Harlow is via Junction 26, Junction 27, and Junction 6. That positions Harlow well for both regional and national same-day work — most major UK cities are reachable inside the working day from a Harlow pickup, and the next-day network reaches every postcode.
From a Harlow origin we cover the UK on both tiers: same-day reaches most mainland destinations inside the working day if despatched before mid-morning, and next-day reaches every UK postcode by end of next business day — including Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, and the Scottish Highlands (with extended lead times for the islands and Highlands).
On same-day runs stretching the length of the UK, we trunk direct — one vehicle, one driver, no multi-hub handoffs. Next-day consignments from Harlow hit our network in a defined drop-off slot, move via overnight linehaul, and land at the destination for first-thing-in-the-morning delivery runs.
Industries we serve in Harlow
Across Harlow, we quote collections and deliveries for businesses in the sectors that define the local economy:
- tools, materials, and site deliveries for construction firms
- stock replenishment and B2B deliveries for wholesalers and retailers
- legal documents, contracts, and time-sensitive paperwork for professional services firms
- medical samples, PPE, and urgent supplies for healthcare providers
Sector requirements drive how we handle a booking — vehicle choice, documentation, delivery process, and unload approach all differ. Healthcare jobs need temperature monitoring (active or passive depending on cargo) and tight signed-for-on-arrival paperwork. Construction site deliveries need defined gate access and often a Moffett or tail-lift. Legal courier work needs signed-for handover to a named recipient. The booking flow surfaces those requirements at quote time so they're priced and scheduled correctly.
If your Harlow logistics pattern is predictable — daily/weekly runs, scheduled stock movements, regular inter-site transfers — a business account can save time over ad-hoc bookings: consolidated invoicing and a shorter booking process. Get in touch to discuss your volumes, vehicle requirements, and what arrangement would work best for how you ship.
