Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Whitby and the North Yorkshire coast — covering the YO21 and YO22 postcodes — with collection in around 30 minutes and a direct drive to anywhere in the UK. Pricing is by quote. Call 0800 288 4052 for an instant no-obligation quote.

Whitby coverage and response times

We collect across Whitby, Sleights, Sandsend, Ruswarp and Robin Hood's Bay, typically within 25 to 35 minutes given the rural geography. The A171 moors road runs north to Guisborough and Teesside and south to Scarborough, while the A169 climbs over the moors to Pickering and the A64 for York. Being on the coast, we plan longer trunk routes carefully so deadlines are still met inland.

Industries we move every day in Whitby

Whitby's economy blends fishing and seafood processing, tourism and hospitality, and the major potash and polyhalite operation at nearby Boulby. We carry chilled seafood and food consignments, engineering and mine spares, hospitality supplies and time-sensitive documents across the district.
