Porta's same-day courier service in Southampton
A sofa or wardrobe crossing the city, a fridge that has to land before a tenancy, a Marketplace or eBay win waiting over in Eastleigh or Totton, a part a workshop needs before it closes: these are the everyday same-day jobs around Southampton, and they are what Porta is built for.
Porta connects you with vetted independent drivers whose vehicles run from a car for a single item to a Luton for a full load, so the bulky things a parcel network refuses are handled without fuss. Smaller urgent items go the same day too, right across the city and out into Hampshire.
Every job travels direct, one driver from collection to delivery, with no depot in between and nothing held back overnight. Standard and Premium bookings include real-time SMS updates. Two postcodes gives you an instant quote.
What same-day costs from Southampton
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 Southampton, 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 Southampton and the surrounding area, from Shirley, Woolston and Bitterne to Eastleigh, Totton, Romsey, Winchester, Fareham and out towards Portsmouth and the New Forest. A driver is usually not far from your pickup.

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.
Most runs out of Southampton head up the M3 towards London or along the M27 across the south coast, and a dedicated courier bills the journey home as well as the journey out. Porta matches your item to a driver already going that way, so the empty return stays off your quote.

What our customers say
Fantastic service, they were easy to contact and you were able to communicate so easily. My carpets were picked up and delivered on time. Would definitely use again
Really prompt collection and delivery. 3rd time I have used Porta delivery and the service has been great with constant updates which is very helpful
Our delivery driver was great, the pre and post delivery (sounds like labour!) was super helpful. Will be using again
Same-day courier in Southampton: questions
How soon can a driver reach me in Southampton?
Often within a couple of hours when one is close by. Traffic around the docks and the city centre can slow things at peak times, so a booked window is steadier than hoping, and an earlier request leaves more room. Collection today gives your job priority over the next scheduled run.
Do you cover Portsmouth, Winchester and the rest of Hampshire?
Yes. Collection runs out through Eastleigh, Romsey, Totton and Fareham to Winchester and Portsmouth, and down towards the New Forest. Enter both postcodes when you quote so the route and vehicle are matched properly.
Can you run same-day from Southampton to London or along the coast?
Yes. Whether it is up the M3 to London or east along the M27 towards Brighton, you are matched to a driver already heading that way, so the price is based on the distance your item really covers.
Do you run same-day at weekends in Southampton?
Yes, seven days a week and bank holidays too. A weekend deadline is handled just like a weekday one, as long as a driver is free in the area at the time. See Southampton City Council's roads and parking information.
