Invicta Couriers moves large, bulky and heavy items for businesses and private customers, from a single item to a full van load. We’re based in Whitstable, Kent, and travel anywhere in mainland UK. Every job is priced individually: call 01227 773030 or use the quote form on this page.

What we move

Most often it’s food and construction materials, but we’ve carried almost everything you can imagine, from furniture and equipment to film and TV sets.

Some loads need more than space. For fragile or high-value items, see our delicate goods courier. For chilled or frozen goods, see refrigerated transport. For deliveries to building sites, see our FORS Silver courier for construction sites.

Our vans and Lutons

  • Vans and Lutons up to 3.5 tonnes GWT.
  • Every Luton has a tail-lift, so heavy items can be raised and lowered safely.
  • A Luton’s load space is 4 metres long.
  • A single vehicle can carry up to about 1 tonne.
  • Larger vehicles are possible on request: we hold an operator’s licence.

How a job works

We look at every job before it’s booked, so the right vehicle and equipment go. Most jobs need one driver. For specialist jobs, a second person comes to help with loading and unloading.

Your goods normally have the van to themselves, though it depends on the job, and a shared load costs less.

Our vans are tracked live, and our drivers record proof of delivery in an app. Call our office at any time for an update.

Near or far

Most of our large-item work is longer distance, and shorter jobs are no problem. We collect all over Kent, much of our work runs into London and the South East, and for the right job we travel anywhere in mainland UK.

Prices

Every job is priced individually. We work it out from the type of vehicle, the total distance and the time we estimate the job will take. Tell us what you’re moving, roughly how big and heavy it is, and where it’s going, and our transport team will come straight back to you with a price.

Questions we’re often asked

How big an item can you take?

Our Lutons have a 4-metre load space and a tail-lift, and one vehicle can carry up to about 1 tonne. For anything larger or heavier, ask us: bigger vehicles are possible on request.

Will someone help to load it?

Most jobs have one driver. For specialist jobs, a second person comes to help load and unload. We check what’s needed before the job is booked.

    What Our Customers Say

    Kerry you are as always amazing! Thank you and your team so much!

    If you want testimonials please come to me as you have always been fantastic to work with and so reliable, so thank you.

    Anna Taylor

    Bakkavor Group is a leading international food manufacturing company specialising in freshly prepared foods and produce.

    The company have five core values that underpin the way we do business, one of which is, customer care: We are committed to supplying outstanding service, quality and value, never forgetting that our relationship with our customers is pivotal to our success.

    Invicta Couriers have helped us to achieve this in conjunction with our team at Tilmanstone. They provide transport solutions for the effective distribution of samples to our customers and internal buying teams. On many occasions that has been at short notice and often outside traditional working hours.

    We have been working with Invicta’s for a number of years now and would consider their flexible approach and professional manner a credit to their management team.

    It is on this basis that I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any business.

    Alan Tingey

    I confirm that I have dealt with Invicta Couriers since 2004, during which time they have provided our company with excellent support in transporting our water samples from our offices in Folkestone to our laboratories in Watford and Staines.

    One of the reasons we initially approached Invicta was due to the fact that they could offer temperature controlled vehicles with constant monitoring, to ensure that our strict guidelines are adhered to.

    One of the reasons we have remained with Invicta is based in the good working relationship and trust that has developed. The nature of our business means that we can require sample transportation during unsociable hours and very often, at very short notice. I’m delighted to say that Invicta Couriers have always been able to accommodate our needs.

    I can confidently recommend Invicta Couriers as providers of a flexible and reliable service.
