Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Kendal and the surrounding area — covering the LA9 postcodes — 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.

Kendal coverage and response times

Kendal sits at the southern gateway to the Lake District, and our drivers cover the town centre, Natland, Oxenholme, Stricklandgate and Heron Hill within 30 minutes. We serve the full LA9 postcode and regularly extend into LA8 (Milnthorpe, Levens), LA10 (Tebay) and LA7 (Kirkby Lonsdale). The M6 at junction 36 (Milnthorpe) is less than five minutes south of the town, giving rapid access southbound to Preston, Manchester and Birmingham, and northbound to Penrith and the Scottish border.

Industries we move every day in Kendal

Kendal's economy blends tourism, food manufacturing and specialist trades. The town is famous for Kendal Mint Cake, and food and confectionery production remains active in the area, creating supply chain courier needs. Outdoor clothing and equipment — Kendal has a strong association with the outdoor leisure industry — generates regular consignments to retailers and distributors across the UK. Professional services, healthcare logistics for Westmorland General Hospital, and print for the Cumbrian market round out day-to-day demand.
