Mailbox Express Secure Courier

Legal Services

When you’re sending legal documents reliability and accountability trump everything else. For more than a quarter of a century Mailbox Express has specialised in safely and efficiently couriering legal papers for ultra-fast and same-day delivery. Our first job is getting it done, closely followed by giving our clients the peace of mind that comes from knowing their goods are in safe hands.

We keep the chain of custody short. Once we pick up your delivery it goes straight to the recipient. No depot stops. No change of drivers. Just seamless end-to-end service with no opportunity for error and a signature at the other end as a matter of course.

Transparency is key, so you’ll be able to track your consignment online and proof of delivery signatures are instantly available via email, SMS or telephone. On top of that, if we encounter any issues that could affect your delivery, such as heavy traffic, we’ll keep you informed.

  • Same-Day

    When tomorrow isn’t fast enough, we’ll get your delivery where it needs to be today.

    Mailbox Express has a 100% same-day delivery rate, and in 25 years we’ve never lost a package. There are a couple of reasons for that: first and foremost is the fact we don’t consolidate goods from different customers. You’ll get a dedicated driver for your delivery.

    Second: we’ll send the right vehicle for your delivery, whether it’s a scooter, a motorbike, a van or a Transit.

    On top of that we’ll fit our service to your needs, whether that’s delivering before or after a specific time or catering to special requirements like document sign-offs.

  • International

    International shipping doesn’t have to be slow and complicated, but you need a specialist courier with the right knowledge to make everything run smoothly. Mailbox Express gives you options and takes the hassle out of delivering overseas by taking care of the admin.

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.

Susan Fitzsimons
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.
