Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express runs a same day courier service for Swanage and the wider Isle of Purbeck, covering the BH19 postcode area from Swanage itself out to Langton Matravers, Studland and Harman's Cross. A local courier can usually be with you within 30 minutes, ready for a direct drive anywhere in the UK the same day. Pricing is always by quote – call 0800 288 4052 for an instant, no-obligation price.

Coverage around Swanage and the Purbeck peninsula

We collect throughout Swanage, along the A351 to Corfe Castle and Wareham (BH20), and across the Sandbanks chain ferry into Poole (BH15) and Bournemouth. Because Swanage sits at the end of a single main road, we plan collection windows around seasonal holiday traffic so your job still moves on time.

Industries we support in Swanage

Our drivers regularly work with the town's tourism and hospitality trade, marine and boatyard businesses along the harbour, the Swanage Railway heritage line, and Purbeck stone quarrying and building suppliers who need urgent parts or materials moved fast.
