Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Sherborne and north Dorset — covering DT9 and neighbouring BA22 and SP8 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.

Sherborne coverage and response times

Sherborne sits on the A30 close to the Somerset and Dorset border, giving our drivers quick access to Yeovil and Wincanton within about 30 minutes, and Shaftesbury and Blandford a little further along the A30/A350. The A303 and A37 provide fast onward links towards the M5 and M3 for London or the South West.

Industries we move every day in Sherborne

Sherborne's well-known schools and independent education sector regularly need urgent document and equipment runs, and the historic Abbey and Castle draw a steady tourism and events trade with time-critical seasonal deliveries. We also support the aerospace and engineering supply chain around Yeovil, home to Leonardo Helicopters, along with the area's strong agricultural and dairy businesses.
