Frequently Asked Questions
Do you just deliver in Truro?
Not at all. While many of our bookings are in Truro itself, our same day courier network also covers nearby areas such as Falmouth, Redruth, Camborne, Newquay, St Austell, Penzance, Helston, Bodmin, Hayle and Padstow, as well as all destinations across the UK.
How fast can you collect my item?
Typically within 2–4 hours of booking, depending on location and availability.
Can I track the courier?
Yes, real-time SMS updates are available on Standard and Premium bookings, keeping you informed throughout the delivery.
What if I only need collection today, not delivery?
That’s fine we offer this service. You can check out the latest prices for this on our quote page.
Is everything fully insured?
Insurance cover depends on the delivery option selected. Standard and Premium deliveries include goods-in-transit insurance claim support arranged via Porta. Essential deliveries do not include Porta-managed insurance — responsibility in those cases sits with the independent driver.
How does a same day courier differ from a standard parcel service?
Standard parcel services use depots and sorting centres, which means your item passes through multiple hands and can take days. A same day courier collects directly from your address and delivers straight to the recipient — no depot stops, no overnight holding. It's faster, more direct, and better suited to large, fragile, or valuable items that don't belong on a conveyor belt.
Can a same day courier collect from a business address?
Yes. Porta's platform handles both residential and business collections. Whether it's stock from a warehouse, equipment from an office, or parts from a workshop, your driver collects directly from the address you specify at the time you book.
How much does a same day courier cost in the UK?
Same day courier costs depend on distance, item size, and how quickly you need collection. Shorter urban routes typically cost less than long-distance or rural deliveries. Porta gives you an instant fixed quote when you enter your details — no haggling, no hidden fees, and no waiting for a callback.
What's the difference between same day collection and same day delivery?
Same day collection means your item is picked up today. Same day delivery means it's also delivered today. With Porta you can choose either — if you need the item to arrive the same day as collection, select that option at checkout and we'll match you with a driver who can complete both within the day.
Can I send fragile or high-value items via same day courier?
Yes. Same day courier is often the safest option for fragile or valuable items precisely because your item travels directly with one driver and isn't transferred between vehicles or sorted through a depot. Standard and Premium deliveries include goods-in-transit insurance claim support arranged via Porta for added peace of mind.
What happens if my driver is delayed?
You'll be kept updated via real-time SMS on Standard and Premium deliveries, and you can contact your driver directly through instant messaging. If there's a significant issue, Porta's customer support team is available to assist.
Is a same day courier service available on weekends?
Yes. Porta's platform operates seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. Availability depends on drivers in your area, but same day weekend collections are regularly fulfilled across the whole of the UK.
Can I track the courier?
Yes, real-time SMS updates are available on Standard and Premium bookings, keeping you informed throughout the delivery.
What if I only need collection today, not delivery?
That’s fine we offer this service. You can check out the latest prices for this on our quote page.
