Porta's same-day courier service in Plymouth
Distance is the deciding factor out of Plymouth. A dedicated courier has to come all the way down the A38 and drive all the way back, and both halves land on the bill. Porta instead puts your item with a vetted independent driver already making that journey, so the empty return is not yours to fund.
Within the city it is the usual same-day work: furniture moving between flats around Mutley and Mannamead, an appliance due before a tenancy, a Marketplace collection out at Plymstock or Plympton. The drivers' vehicles run from small vans to Lutons, so awkward loads are no obstacle.
Each job runs direct, one driver from collection to delivery with no depot stop, and Standard and Premium bookings carry real-time SMS updates.
What same-day costs from Plymouth
Same-day is priced on your actual journey, so you only ever pay for the distance your item travels, with no flat rate hiding the cost of a short hop or padding out a long one.
Every corridor out of Plymouth, from a short hop to a cross-country run, is priced the same way. Enter your two postcodes for a live same-day quote.
Same-day collection covers Plymouth and out across south Devon and into south east Cornwall, from Mutley, Mannamead and Devonport to Plymstock, Plympton, Ivybridge, Tavistock, Saltash and Torpoint. A driver is usually within reach.

Choose how fast, and when it lands
You decide how quickly it moves and how firmly the arrival is fixed. Have it collected today rather than waiting for the next run, pick a two-hour window so you are not stuck in all day, or lock in delivery by 5pm or by 10pm when the deadline is real. Each one is a separate option, so you only pay for the certainty your job actually needs. The full list is on the same day courier page.
A run from Plymouth to Bristol, Birmingham or London is a serious distance, and a dedicated van charges for every mile of it twice over. Because Porta matches your job to a driver already travelling that route, only the loaded miles reach your quote. The further the job goes, the more that difference is worth.

What our customers say
Great company. Great site online to complete what you need delivering. Very quick and great service. Would definitely use again. Thanks.
Great delivery by a really lovely team. Good communication and very responsive. Would recommend. Loved saving a few carbon miles too.
Seamless delivery experience. The only provider who could offer a pickup window in advance, and provide a quote immediately. The courier they selected for the job was courteous and timely. I'd definitely use Porta again.
Same-day courier in Plymouth: questions
How soon can a driver reach me in Plymouth?
Often within a couple of hours where one is working nearby, though cover is thinner this far south west than in a big city, so an earlier request and a booked window both help. Collection today gives your job priority over the next available run.
Do you cover Cornwall and the towns around Plymouth?
Yes. Collection reaches Plymstock, Plympton, Ivybridge and Tavistock, and over the Tamar to Saltash and Torpoint. Bridge and ferry crossings are simply part of the route and are accounted for in the quote.
Can you run same-day from Plymouth to Bristol, Exeter or London?
Yes. Exeter is under an hour up the A38, with Bristol and London considerably further. Matching you to a driver already heading that way is exactly what keeps a long run affordable, since you are not paying for the journey back.
Do you run same-day at weekends in Plymouth?
Yes, seven days a week including bank holidays. Weekend jobs run across the city and south Devon whenever a driver is free, though booking earlier is worth it given the distances involved. See Plymouth City Council's roads and pavements information.
