Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Ely and the surrounding area — covering the CB7 postcode and the neighbouring CB6 Littleport and CB8 Newmarket areas — with collection in around 30 minutes and direct-drive delivery anywhere in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Ely coverage and response times

The cathedral city of Ely sits in the Cambridgeshire Fens just north of Cambridge. We can usually collect around the city centre, Lancaster Way Business Park and the Angel Drove area within 25 to 30 minutes, and reach Littleport, Soham, Cambridge or Newmarket inside the hour. The A10 runs straight south to Cambridge and the M11, while the A142 links east toward Newmarket and west toward the A14 — keeping consignments on fast roads quickly despite the rural setting.

Industries we move every day in Ely

Agriculture and food production dominate the surrounding Fens, supported by manufacturing, engineering and a growing science and technology spillover from nearby Cambridge. We frequently carry food and agricultural items, laboratory and biotech samples, machined components and urgent documents for businesses across CB7 and the East Cambridgeshire area.
