Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Sandown and the Isle of Wight — covering the PO36 postcode — with collection in around 30 minutes and onward direct-drive delivery anywhere in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Sandown coverage and response times

On the island's south-east coast, Sandown is linked to Shanklin, Lake and Brading by the A3055, with Newport and Ryde a little under 30 minutes away. A driver can usually reach the Sandown seafront and Esplanade quickly, and we coordinate the Wightlink and Red Funnel crossings from Ryde, Fishbourne and Cowes so goods move on to the mainland and then direct by road to anywhere in the country.

Industries we move every day in Sandown

The island's tourism and hospitality trade, marine and boatbuilding businesses, food production, healthcare at St Mary's in Newport and a strong base of independent retailers all need reliable transport. We carry documents, samples, spares and pallets, managing the ferry timings as part of the job.
