Courier Coverage Across Leith and Edinburgh
Leith sits approximately 2 miles north of Edinburgh city centre, connected via Leith Walk (A900) and Easter Road. The A199 runs eastward toward Musselburgh and the A1, and the A902 provides access to Edinburgh city bypass (A720) and the M8 motorway westward to Glasgow (approximately 45 miles). Edinburgh Airport is approximately 8 miles west via the A8/M8. We collect from all EH6 postcodes, including the Shore and Commercial Street harbour area, Ocean Terminal and Leith Waterfront, Leith Links, the Bonnington Road industrial area, and the Victoria Quay Scottish Government offices. We also serve Edinburgh New Town, the Old Town, and all Edinburgh postcodes without surcharge for local collections.
Industries We Serve in Leith
Leith hosts a diverse and growing economy anchored by Scottish Government, financial services, creative industries, and port operations. The Scottish Government offices at Victoria Quay and the many public sector bodies in EH6 rely on our courier service for inter-departmental document delivery and urgent consignments. Financial services and insurance companies at Leith Waterfront and Ocean Terminal use our same-day network for contract and regulatory document delivery across Edinburgh. The port and harbour operations at Leith Docks generate demand for shipping documentation and port-related courier services. The creative and arts sector centred around The Shore and Leith's gallery district also uses our service for gallery loans and production material deliveries.
