Absolutely About us

We have a proud history that stretches back to George Thompson: the St Pancras station master who set up shop as a freight agent for the railway companies back in 1865. We know what can be at stake when you book a courier. Luckily, there are very few situations we haven’t faced, hurdles we haven’t overcome, or international customs facts we couldn’t bore you with. Whether it’s the contract to meet this morning’s deadline, the outfit for tomorrow’s fashion shoot, or simply the need to make a good impression every day, our experienced team are trusted to deliver by over 5000 customers per year – time and again. We are an extension of our clients’ businesses and we never take what we do lightly. When it really matters, we care more – and know more – than most. There when it matters? Absolutely.

Been there, delivered that since 1865

personal service.” UK Charity

Our trade is all about people, not things We buck the trend for faceless automation by putting an emphasis on common sense, responsive systems, and the humans we work with every day.

Being a family run business we like to think that we know how to treat staff and clients alike. Our clients are more than just account numbers, and we’re on first-name terms with many of them; we treat them all with warmth and respect.

So when you’re relying on someone to handle something precious – and handle the unexpected – our experienced Customer Services team is here to help with any questions, queries or concerns.

We’re not always delivering court papers or priceless objects. But a parcel or a package is never just a parcel or a package: there’s always a relationship, a reputation, a bigger opportunity, or someone’s blood pressure at stake.

We’re trusted to deliver when it matters because we show our customers, day in and day out, just how precious every one of their bookings is to us and how passionate we are about our trade. Our drivers and riders are more than just beacons on a map: they’re integral to everything we do.

Trusted to deliver when it matters

We are proud of our quick collection times of 20 minutes* within the central London postcodes. With over 250 Sameday couriers available you can rest assured that you’re absolutely in the right hands. *Average collection time for our bike services.

With over 150 years’ experience, we know how to deliver for you.

We are part of the owner-operated APC network which is the UK’s largest independent delivery network, with more than 110 locations nationwide. The APC network is unique in its approach and is not just set up to take standard parcels like many other Overnight carriers. Our operation is more robust and has the ability to carry more delicate items such as wines, spirits, perishables and glass, all with a more flexible timed delivery offering.

Our timed delivery options are:

• Weekday before 9am• Weekday before 10am• Weekday before 12 noon• Weekday before 5.30pm• Saturday before 9am, 10am or 12 noon.

We also offer a 2 hour window ‘Expect’ service which allows either a text or email to be sent to you or your customers advising them when to expect delivery of your item.

“This company are great at collecting

and delivering items. Their online

very friendly and queries are answered

very quickly. The customer service team

get a solution.” Financial Institution

They take in the view, we take in the details.

We are a handling agent, working with all of the major international carriers. Which means that we can negotiate with our shipping partners to get value for money for our customers. We also provide our clients with personalised guidance on customs procedures as well as packaging suggestions to ensure parcels are delivered on time and in prime condition.

We also offer on-board couriers for those shipments that need to be hand delivered and if you have a critical deadline we have a special service that will ensure your items are delivered on time, every time. We offer: • Import and export services • Express and economy delivery • Next day to Europe as standard • Next day to USA (cities) • Tracking and full audit trail

“Outstanding service. After only

recently starting to work closely

with Absolutely I have found them to

have excellent customer service and

attention to detail. It seems no request

is too big and they have allowed me

to feel I can approach them with any

issues or questions. I would highly

recommend them to any other business

looking for a courier service.”

We deliver beyond expectation – even at -30˚C

We understand the importance of getting your product from A to B in top condition. It’s particularly important when dealing with perishables and temperature controlled goods. Our Absolutely Chilled vehicles can store items down to -30˚C. We carry some of the most important temperature controlled items that businesses will ever send, so we are always on time and ready for action

Our temperature controlled operation is based in the Park Royal area, North West London. We deliver into Central London daily and throughout the UK. We are Absolutely proud to be supporting this specialised sector.

Delivering the information to succeed in business Our business relies on information — whether it’s clients ordering the right size vehicle for collection, or our teams knowing the business well enough to know when a delivery address we’ve been given is out of date. We go the extra mile to keep people informed along every step of the journey; and if things don’t go as planned we don’t place blame or make excuses — we focus on getting things back on track.
