Mailbox Express Secure Courier

Who we are

For more than a quarter of a century Mailbox Express has been making deliveries on time, every time. We offer a flexible, reliable service that’s grounded in two and a half decades spent getting to know our customers.

Everything we do – from our same-day delivery to our highly specialised medical and legal services – starts with our customers’ needs, whether that means ultra-technical transit requirements or seamless integration into their operations.

Since we started in 1994 we’ve grown our network to include locations in Leeds, London, Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol, Sheffield, Harrogate, Newcastle, Liverpool, Cambridge, Milton Keynes, Cardiff, Southampton, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester, with delivery services that cover same-day, next-day, super-fast, international, medical, legal, aviation and more.

Corporate & Social Responsibility

Responsible for your deliveries, responsible for the world around us.

As a business we don’t just have a responsibility to our customers, we have an obligation to our people, our communities and to the world at large.

That means going beyond the requirements of the law to consider the effect every aspect of our business has on every part of the world we touch.

It means going further still to make positive contributions to society.

In our communities, that means contributing to the causes that matter to us by donating money, logistics support and, most importantly, time. We have a standing arrangement to support Andy’s Man Club by providing them with a vehicle. We’ve donated tens of thousands of pounds worth of time and resources to the Jane Tomlinson Appeal. We encourage our partners to get behind the causes that matter, too.

On the road, taking responsibility for our impact means Mailbox Express operates a fleet of fuel-efficient, low-emission vehicles run on biodiesel that’s 85% cleaner than regular diesel. It means always taking the most fuel-efficient routes. It means working towards a fully electric fleet.

In the office, that means minimising our paper use, always recycling, and billing clients electronically.

To encapsulate this philosophy Mailbox Express has become ISO 14001 accredited so that every part of our business works in the most sustainable way possible.

When it comes to taking responsibility and doing our bit we believe in real service, not lip service.

Andy's Man Club

One of the causes closest to the heart of Mailbox Express is mental health, and the issue of male suicide in particular.

Suicide is the biggest cause of death among men under 45 in the UK. Men aged 40-44 have the highest suicide rate in the country. Men are three times more likely to take their own lives than women. And one of the biggest reasons for that is that men are simply less likely to open up about their problems and seek help.

That’s why Andy’s Man Club is so important – it offers a non-judgemental space where men from all walks of life can open up about their feelings. It started with nine men in Halifax and now has 28 clubs across the UK (and counting).

Andy’s Man Club doesn’t need money – it needs help, so we support it in the best way we know how. We have a standing arrangement to help the club by providing a vehicle for them. The club uses it to get new local groups off the ground, travel the country to visit those already running and to deal with logistics for their events. It’s a small thing to do, but it makes a real difference.

“The car has been so valuable to us, with its distinctive colour you can’t help but see it and it helps raise vital awareness of our clubs. We really made use of the truck on our facilitator weekend, getting vital club provisions to the base for the facilitators to take back to their clubs with them.

“We are so grateful to Mailbox Express for providing such a great car for us to use and help us spread the word about AMC and get out and about to our clubs.”

Project Development Worker, Andy’s Man Club

Testimonials

As solicitors we need a courier we can trust and Mailbox Express fits the bill. They’re reliable and bring a flexible approach to solving our delivery problems as well as working with us to keep the cost down.

Paul Beales
Head of Business Support, Shulmans LLP

I can’t speak highly enough about the service provided by Mailbox Express. Mailbox Express’s managing director took the time to understand our business and our needs. Then, not only did he provide a solution suited to our exact needs at the time but, even more impressively, he continues to periodically review our requirements and tailors new solutions as necessary. I would definitely recommend anyone to test drive the services available from Mailbox Express and I’m sure they’ll be quickly impressed with their value for money service, reliability and total professionalism.

Graeme Hodgson
Events Director, Jane Tomlinson's 'Run For All'

With turnaround times in the print Industry being constantly reduced I need to have a national same-day and overnight courier that I can absolutely rely on. Mailbox Express has been that company for the past four years. I have no hesitation in recommending Mailbox Express to any company which is looking to use a thoroughly professional and competitively-priced national courier company.

Office Manager, Hempsons

Mailbox Express has been the most reliable and professional courier company I’ve come across.

Calvin Hargreaves
Assistant Supervisor, USDAW

I called Mailbox Express at 5.20pm on a Friday with a big problem. We needed to get some large-format graphics couriered to a venue for an awards dinner the following evening and our previous supplier had just let us down. One call to MBE and the problem was solved. By 6.33pm the graphics had been collected and delivered to the venue in Bradford. All this for a fantastic price, despite being a last-minute request that other suppliers may well have chosen to take advantage of. Brilliant. I can’t praise Mailbox Express enough!

Rob Woodhead
Project It Event Production

Whenever anyone asks me to recommend a courier I always give them Mailbox Express’s details. I have used MBE’s services for the best part of 20 years and although our volume is not huge, they still treat us with the efficiency and courtesy that I’m sure they do with much bigger clients.

Simon Baurley
Director, Smallprint

Mailbox Express always delivers a great service from start to finish.

Liz Walker
Office Manager, Farrell & Clark LLP, Architects

In the past two years I’ve found Mailbox Express friendly and reliable from the moment that I ring to arrange a collection until it reaches its destination. The drivers are always smart and helpful and will even ring back when they complete an urgent delivery.

Janice Rutter
Management Assistant, DSV Air & Sea (UK) Ltd

I use Mailbox Express on a regular basis, and having used other Courier services in the past I’d like to stress that Mailbox Express are very efficient and give a fantastic service. I choose to use Mailbox Express as they are very loyal and maintain a high level of service. They’ve delivered every single one of our packages on time and we’ve never had any issues. The staff are very professional and offer a friendly service, whether it is the office staff or the driver.

Hayley Lanata
Human Resources, Contour Housing Group Limited

Thanks to the Mailbox Express team, who put themselves out to collect and deliver our documents during the night on November 21st. The staff in our office ended up working much later into the night than any of us expected and as a result had to call the drivers to pick up deliveries to Nottingham and Glasgow in the early hours. Despite this they were both very understanding and turned up very promptly after our call.
