Common next day delivery questions.

View all FAQs

What items can I send through Next Day and International Delivery?

Most items are suitable for next day or international delivery and we can offer solutions for both post and pallet delivery.

Packing a consignment is the most important aspect because this package will be handled by a number of people and travel through different hubs. We suggest using suitable packing material and sealing the package thoroughly. Goods that are non-hazardous and replaceable are suitable for overnight and international next day delivery. Ideally, the consignment will be under 30kgs in total, or at least under 15kg per box.

The type of item being sent will dictate the best packaging. Clothing and soft furnishings can go into jiffy bags. Hard items should be boxed and large and especially heavy items should go via pallet delivery. Envelopes are also suitable for a next day service.

There are some goods that are not good for next day delivery, such as precious, irreplaceable, fragile, hazardous or flammable goods.

For more information on this, visit our dedicated page: What items can I send on a next day service?

Will my Next Day or International delivery be insured?

our goods will be insured as per the standard carrier’s terms and conditions of carriage. There can be differences, so it’s important that you fully understand the terms of insurance, claim procedure and what happens when something goes wrong. Occasionally, things do go missing or get broken, so it is important you understand your rights to claim.

Some of our clients also self-insure their more precious goods/items. However, if you have urgent, important or an irreplaceable consignment, we would advise you to upgrade to diamond’s same day courier service, which comes with £15,000 insurance per consignment as standard.

Do I need an account with you to book Next Day or International delivery?

You do not need an account to use our services. However, without one you will not have access to our management system, Despatchlab.

We tend to work with businesses who require a weekly or more frequent courier service. For one off deliveries and collections it is best to choose a courier firm who specialises in this service.

Setting up an account has lots of benefits including: Despatchlab access, bespoke tariff suited to your requirements, preferential treatment in peak times, and much more. Get in touch to see if you qualify, today.

Can I track the progress of my Next Day or International delivery?

When you open an account with us, you will receive a log in for our management and tracking system, located at DespatchLab. Through this system, you can book your consignment, get prices, check all your despatches (regardless of different carriers) and access our same day services too. All with live tracking.

If you are not an account holder, you will be issued with a consignment number that you will be able to input to trace.

What documents do I need to prepare for International Shipping?

Understanding what paperwork you need to complete to get your international consignment where it needs to go has become a real headache for many businesses since Brexit. We understand this and have worked hard to make this process as straight forward for you as possible. Using our logistics platform, most of the paperwork is done for you. All you need to do is make sure you enter the right details at the point of booking and we will take care of the rest.

Who is an ideal client for Diamond's Next Day and International delivery services?

Diamond is best positioned to work with businesses who require regular consignments and shipping services through a trusted network. However, if you are in individual in a bind and you need to send a parcel, we are here to help if we can.

To provide you with the very best service, we advise setting up a business account. You will then receive tailored rates to maximise your client experience.

Businesses with a mixed freight profile, who want to concentrate their spend and minimalise their delivery management, benefit a lot from our services. So, if you need a strong logistics partner to help you manage your business’s logistics needs, we will be a great fit.

Specialists in a variety of courier services.

As a small company we have struggled in the past to get any form of reliable courier service. Since Fleetline have become a Diamond Partner, that’s all changed. Bob and the team have delivered time and again for us. We won’t be going anywhere else!

Allen Signs

We save so much time and resource by outsourcing our logistics. There’s no way we could do this ourselves anymore! It means our small team can really focus on growing the business and working with Diamond makes it easy because Mandy and her team are so responsive to any of our requests. We like to be able to get back to our customers quickly if there is a problem with their order, and feel like the team at Diamond care about that as well.

Avery Row

We have received great feedback from all the staff who deal with Diamond. They are always so helpful and it fills us with confidence when it comes to shipping with yourselves.

Bartell Global

Incredibly helpful and willing, also very responsive and reactive. Everyone I’ve met at Diamond has been really friendly and wanting me to get the best from their services. I have recommended them to three other businesses, as they just make it easy even when there is confusion.

Caravan Parts Online

The service that Bob at Diamond Logistics offers is second to none, he is always available and willing to sort out any issues we have. After using their services, I would not go back to any other courier.

Davmar Engineering

Outsourcing our fulfilment operations has meant that we can concentrate on the most critical parts of our business, safe in the knowledge that our fulfilment is in good hands. This part of the business can’t be undervalued as it is an important part of the customer journey chain.

Being a Network Partner with Diamond Logistics has been the best decision I have made

Network Partner

We have loved working with Diamond, it has taken the stress out of fitting in post office trips around our busy lives. It has also enabled us to supply larger retail chains who have stricter delivery and packaging requirements. Diamond have done everything to meet those demands and it has always gone smoothly!

Neu Oil

With their consistent efficiency and reliability they are now considered as part of our business. We cannot do without them!

Power Options

As we needed a fulfilment centre to send out our products – high end spirits – to consumers, it was also crucial that the orders were packed to the very highest standard. This meant branded tissue paper, a complementary postcard and a gift note when required (presentation reflects hugely on our business). I am pleased to say that Diamond have been able to deliver this.

Sacred Spirits

We are good at what we do, and Diamond are good at what they do. To have the peace of mind that part of the service we provide is looked after in a professional and timely manner, allows me to fulfil other elements of my day-to-day role without any unnecessary stress and added pressures.

Excellent service from the team at the Diamond Lincoln service centre, the pro-activeness of the team is a real benefit to our business.
