Proof of collection and delivery
Suitable for contracts, legal bundles and originals
No shared sorting network or overnight storage
Same-day and urgent deadline windows
Discreet, confidential handling
Some documents cannot be trusted to the post. Signed contracts, legal bundles, passports, visa paperwork, tender responses, completion documents and original certificates are often deadline-critical, confidential and irreplaceable, and a lost or late envelope can cost a deal, a court date or a house purchase. Send247 provides a dedicated document courier that collects the envelope or file from your office or home and carries it directly to the recipient, with proof of collection and delivery, and without the document ever entering a shared sorting network. Because it is one courier on one journey, the chain of custody is short and clear: you know who has the document, where it is, and when it arrives. For solicitors, conveyancers, accountants, agencies and businesses working to a same-day deadline, that certainty is the whole point. Pricing is set from the two postcodes at booking, so an urgent legal run is quoted transparently before you commit.
When documents are too important to post
Postal and standard parcel services are fine for routine mail, but they are the wrong tool for anything confidential, original or deadline-bound. Once an envelope enters a sorting hub it is one of millions, with no realistic way to trace it that day and no guarantee it will arrive by a specific time. A Send247 document courier removes that uncertainty: the same person collects and delivers, the document is never left overnight in a depot, and both ends of the journey are confirmed. For legal completions, tender submissions and visa deadlines, that direct, traceable route is often the only acceptable option.
Legal, financial and business paperwork
Send247 is widely used by solicitors, conveyancers, barristers' chambers, accountants and agencies who regularly need originals moved across London or between cities on the same day - exchange and completion documents, sealed court bundles, signed agreements and certified copies. The booking captures the collection and delivery addresses and any handling instructions, such as delivering to a named individual or reception desk, and the sender receives confirmation once it is handed over. Because the courier carries the file directly, sensitive paperwork is not exposed to the handling, scanning and storage steps of a bulk network.
Same-day and urgent deadlines
Document jobs are frequently urgent - a contract that must be signed and returned before close of business, or paperwork that has to reach a registry, embassy or client office by a cut-off. Same-day booking is built for these deadlines: you enter the two postcodes, see the price and availability, and the job is dispatched to a courier who can meet the required window. For genuinely time-critical runs, a dedicated courier is faster and more predictable than any shared service because the vehicle is not making other stops along the way.
Same-day document delivery
Contracts, filings and completion papers are often bound to a same-day deadline where a late envelope costs the deal or the date.
- Exchange and completion documents
- Court filings before a cut-off
- Signed contracts returned same day
- Tender submissions
- Passport and visa paperwork
Next-day document delivery
Next-day suits paperwork that must arrive the following morning but isn't tied to a same-day cut-off.
Urgent document delivery
A contract that must be signed and returned before close of business is a typical urgent document run.

How we handle document
Documents are confidential and often irreplaceable, so they travel with a single courier and a short, clear chain of custody - never through a shared sorting network.
Seal the envelope or file and mark any recipient instructions; nothing else needs preparing.
The courier carries the item directly, with proof of collection and delivery, and can hand it to a named person or reception.

- offices
- solicitors and chambers
- courts and registries
- embassies
- clients' premises
- reception desks
- named individuals
Courts, registries and embassies have fixed hours and desks, so add the recipient, department and any cut-off at booking.

- Solicitors and conveyancers moving originals

How much does document delivery cost?
The cost of delivering document depends on factors such as:
- Collection location
- Delivery location
- Distance
- Delivery speed (same-day, next-day or scheduled)
- Size and weight
- Vehicle requirements
- Collection time
A short local document run costs far less than an urgent cross-city delivery to a fixed deadline. Enter your collection and delivery details to get the applicable Send247 price.

When do I need a courier for document?
Once an envelope enters a sorting hub it can't be traced that day or guaranteed by a time - no good for confidential, deadline-bound papers.
A courier makes more sense when:
- The document is confidential or original
- It must arrive by a specific deadline
- You need proof of collection and delivery
- It's going to a court, registry or embassy
- It must reach a named individual
