Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express runs a same day courier service across Shanklin and the Isle of Wight — covering PO37 and the neighbouring PO36 and PO38 postcodes — with collection in around 30 minutes and direct-drive delivery anywhere in the UK, including onward ferry connections to the mainland. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Shanklin coverage and response times

Our Island-based drivers reach Shanklin, Sandown and Lake along the A3055 in around 30 minutes, with Ventnor and Newport only a short drive further. For mainland deliveries we book the fastest available Wightlink or Red Funnel crossing from Fishbourne, Yarmouth or East Cowes to Portsmouth, Lymington or Southampton, then drive direct to the final destination.

Industries we move every day in Shanklin

Tourism and hospitality dominate the local economy, and hotels, holiday parks and event organisers regularly need urgent replacement stock, equipment and catering supplies at short notice, especially in peak season. We also support Island agriculture and horticulture businesses, plus the marine trade around Bembridge and Cowes, with parts and components that can't wait for the next scheduled ferry freight slot.
