Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Hilsea and the Portsmouth area — covering the PO2 postcode and neighbouring PO1, PO3 and PO6 districts — 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.

Hilsea coverage and response times

We collect across Hilsea, Copnor, Cosham and Portsea Island, generally within around 30 minutes. The A27 and M27 run right past Hilsea, with the A3(M) close by, so Fareham is about 15 minutes away, Southampton 30–40 minutes and Portsmouth International Port and the city centre 10–15 minutes. From the M27 we direct-drive towards London or the West Country as soon as we collect.

Industries we move every day in Hilsea

Portsmouth's maritime and defence heritage shapes our work here — we carry urgent parts for naval, marine and aerospace suppliers, manufacturing and electronics firms on the Hilsea and Portfield estates, ferry-port and freight operators, plus healthcare, retail and university sites. Spares, documents and time-critical stock all move the same day.
