Few same-day jobs are as quietly essential as getting a set of keys across London fast. A tenant locked out, an estate agent who needs keys at a viewing, a cleaner or contractor who cannot get into a property, a spare set that has to reach a family member, or keys handed between an Airbnb host and a guest - in every case a small item is holding up something important, and it is needed now, not tomorrow. Send247 provides a fast, low-cost key courier that collects a set from one address and delivers it to another the same day, often within a short window because keys are light and quick to move. Because the courier goes directly, there is no sorting hub and no wait, and the sender is confirmed once the keys are handed over, which matters when a person is waiting outside a locked door. Whether it is a single spare or a set moving between an office and a site, the booking is priced from the two postcodes before you pay, so an urgent key run is cheap and predictable.

When keys are holding everything up

A missing key blocks far more than a door: a tenant cannot get home, a viewing cannot go ahead, a cleaner or engineer cannot start, a delivery cannot be received. Because keys are small and light, they are one of the quickest same-day jobs to complete, and a dedicated Send247 courier can often collect and deliver within a short window. That speed is the whole value - the point is to unblock the situation now, and a direct courier does that in a way no next-day service or postal option can.

Property, lettings and short-let handovers

Estate and lettings agents, property managers and short-let hosts move keys constantly - to viewings, check-ins, contractors and cleaners - and often across the city on short notice. Send247 collects a set from the office, a keyholder or the previous occupant and delivers it to the agent, tenant, guest or contractor who needs it, with confirmation on handover. For Airbnb and short-let hosts in particular, a reliable same-day key courier is a simple way to manage guest arrivals and turnovers without being physically present for every handover.

Spares, lockouts and contractor access

Individuals use key delivery for the small emergencies that derail a day: a spare set sent to someone locked out, keys dropped to a family member, or access handed to a tradesperson so work can go ahead while you are elsewhere. Rather than leaving your day to make the trip yourself, you book a courier to move the keys directly. Provide the collection and delivery addresses and any instruction such as delivering to a named person or reception, and the sender is told once the keys are in the right hands.

Same-day key delivery

A locked-out tenant, a viewing or a waiting contractor needs keys now, and keys are light and quick to move.

  • Lockouts needing a spare set
  • Keys for a viewing or check-in
  • Access for cleaners and contractors
  • Short-let guest handovers
  • Keys dropped to a family member

Next-day key delivery

Next-day suits planned handovers arranged ahead where nobody is waiting at a door.

Urgent key delivery

Someone locked out, or a viewing that can't go ahead without keys, is a classic urgent key run.

How we handle key

Keys are small and urgent, so runs are quick and direct - often completed within a short window because there's little to load.

Seal keys in an envelope or pouch and label the recipient; note any code or instruction for the drop.

The courier takes them straight from one address to another and confirms handover so the person waiting knows they've arrived.

How much does key delivery cost?

The cost of delivering key depends on factors such as:

  • Collection location
  • Delivery location
  • Distance
  • Delivery speed (same-day, next-day or scheduled)
  • Size and weight
  • Vehicle requirements

A short local key run is among the cheapest jobs; a cross-city delivery costs more but stays low. Enter your collection and delivery details to get the applicable Send247 price.

When do I need a courier for key?

Post is far too slow when someone is waiting at a locked door, and keys can't be risked in a slow network.

A courier makes more sense when:

  • Someone is waiting to get in now
  • A viewing or check-in needs keys on time
  • A cleaner or contractor needs access
  • It's a short-let guest handover
  • You want confirmation the keys arrived
