Local courier and delivery across Kent

Invicta Couriers is a Kent courier. We collect from businesses and private customers all over the county, and deliver within Kent or onwards across the UK. We’ve been in business since 1996, and our base is in Whitstable. For a price on a Kent job, phone 01227 773030 or fill in the form below.

Where we collect in Kent

No one part of the county keeps us busier than another. Our collections include Canterbury, Ashford, Maidstone, the Medway towns, Folkestone, Dover, Thanet, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Gravesend and Dartford, as well as Whitstable itself.

Our drivers don’t all start from Whitstable. Each one sets off from wherever they are, whether that’s home, a previous job or our base, to reach you at the time we’ve agreed. So a collection in west Kent isn’t held up by a drive across the county.

Who we work for in Kent

Food producers and growers, manufacturers, construction suppliers and commercial businesses all use us, and so do private customers with something to move. Many Kent growers send samples of their fresh produce with us.

What we move

• Chilled and frozen food, in refrigerated vans that cover anything from −20°C to +20°C.
• Building materials, and deliveries to building sites with our FORS Silver courier for construction sites.
• Large and heavy items, in Lutons with tail-lifts.
• Fragile or high-value goods, with our delicate goods courier.

Beyond Kent

A Kent collection doesn’t have to stay in Kent. Most of our jobs are longer runs, often into London and the South East, and we go anywhere in mainland UK. Short hops between Kent towns are just as welcome.

Today, or on a regular run

For a collection today, ring the office between 7am and 5pm on a weekday. We’ll try to fit it in, though we can’t promise a time until we know the job. Once a job is booked, our vans run around the clock, seven days a week, and existing customers have a 24-hour line for anything urgent.

For a weekly run or other planned work, see contract distribution.

Your own van, or a shared one

If your goods need a van to themselves, they get one. If they can travel with other customers’ goods, sharing brings the price down.

The fleet

• A fleet of more than 50 vans and Lutons, none over 3.5 tonnes.
• Refrigerated vans that are all ATP-certified, each with a temperature logger and printed reports.
• Live tracking, and proof of delivery recorded through our drivers’ app.
• FORS Silver accreditation (FORS ID 002447).

How we price a Kent job

There’s no price list, because no two jobs are alike. The price depends on the vehicle your goods need, how far they’re going and how long the work will take. Send us the details and the transport team will price it for you. To estimate the fuel for a Kent journey yourself, use our journey cost calculator.

Questions about Kent deliveries

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Yes, from Dartford to Dover and from Sheerness to Tunbridge Wells. Wherever the collection is, a driver sets off to reach it at the agreed time.

Do you have a depot in each Kent town?

No. Our base is in Whitstable. Because our drivers start from wherever they happen to be, a collection in any part of the county works the same way.

Can you take my goods outside Kent?

Yes. Most of our Kent collections go further afield, and we cover all of mainland UK.

Do you work for private customers?

Yes. Anyone with something to move from A to B can book us, for a one-off job or for regular deliveries.

Can you deliver to a building site in Kent?

Yes. We’re FORS Silver accredited, which construction sites often require. See our FORS Silver courier for construction sites.

Is there a local number for Ashford?

Yes: 01233 611 911. It comes through to our office in Whitstable.
