Packaging & Crating Courier UK | Packed & Crated Freight
Falux Courier collects, transports, and delivers crated freight and pre-packed goods across the UK on dedicated vehicles. Whether you're shipping a single fragile crate to a trade show or moving heavy industrial parts between sites, your consignment travels alone — no shared loads, no transhipment, no hand-offs at intermediate depots. Crated items are loaded with the same care as the goods inside them. Drivers strap and brace each crate against vehicle anchor points, photograph it loaded and unloaded, and follow safe-lift protocols on anything over 25 kg. For heavier crates we deploy tail-lift vans or two-man teams; for very fragile pieces we use foam-lined floor mats and slow-speed routing to reduce road shock. Every booking is GPS-tracked from collection to drop, with ETAs sent by SMS and full proof of delivery — signed manifest, condition photographs, and a timestamped delivery note — emailed within minutes of completion. Standard goods-in-transit cover sits at £10,000 per load; higher cover is available on request for high-value crates such as artwork, prototypes, or instrumented equipment. We collect 24/7 across mainland UK and offer same-day, overnight, and scheduled options. Quotes are typically returned within fifteen minutes of enquiry.

FAQs
We don't build or supply crates ourselves, but we can recommend trusted local case-makers and packing specialists who can crate to your spec — including ISPM-15 compliant timber crates for export, foam-lined display crates, and reusable shipping cases. Lead-times vary by region, so book your courier slot with the maker's schedule in mind.
Yes — our fleet covers small vans through to 7.5-tonne trucks with tail-lifts, plus partner HIAB and curtain-side options for oversized loads. The largest single crate we routinely move is roughly 2 m × 1.5 m × 1.5 m at around 1,000 kg; for anything heavier or wider, send dimensions and weight and we'll size the right vehicle.
Yes — we deliver to NEC Birmingham, ExCeL London, Olympia, Manchester Central, and every major regional event venue, with timed-slot booking to match your stand-build window. We can hold crates overnight in a secure vehicle if your build slot is early-morning, and re-collect at tear-down for the return leg.
Two-man teams are available across the UK for crates that need lifting, positioning, or unpacking on site — typical situations include exhibition stand-builds, equipment installs in offices, and gallery deliveries with placement requirements. Book the team at the time of quoting so we dispatch the right vehicle pairing.
Yes — every consignment is covered by our standard transit liability limits while in our care (up to £5,000 per consignment based on our standard weight-based calculation of £1,300 per tonne for business cargo, or up to £50 per parcel for consumer shipments). For higher-value items, fragile goods, or specialist equipment, we can arrange extended coverage under a declared-value uplift. Please notify us of the total value in writing prior to booking so we can agree on a bespoke arrangement.
Yes — collections run 24/7 across mainland UK, including evenings, overnight, weekends, and bank holidays. Out-of-hours collections suit factories on shutdown, after-hours museum loans, and exhibition tear-downs that finish late. There's no premium for evening slots booked in advance; emergency overnight call-outs are quoted individually.
