Pony Express Couriers

Pony Express provides a same day courier service across Whitehaven and the west Cumbrian coast — covering the CA28 postcode and neighbouring CA areas — 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.

Whitehaven coverage and response times

From the harbour and town centre out to Kells, Hensingham and Mirehouse, a courier is usually with you in about 30 minutes. Pick-ups in Cleator Moor and Egremont take around 15 minutes, Workington roughly 20 via the A595, and the Sellafield site about 20–25 minutes down the coast road. Because west Cumbria sits off the motorway grid, our direct-drive service is often the fastest way to get goods to Carlisle, the M6 and beyond the same day.

Industries we move every day in Whitehaven

We support the nuclear supply chain around Sellafield, engineering and fabrication firms, chemical and process manufacturers, marine and harbour businesses, plus healthcare and construction clients right across the CA postcodes.
