FAQs

What is the Courier Exchange?

The Courier Exchange is a courier marketplace. It’s the UK’s biggest courier marketplace, in fact.

On The Exchange, shipping companies advertise ‘loads’ they need couriers to deliver. Couriers then propose terms and prices for delivering the loads. When shippers accept, everyone wins.

Who is the Courier Exchange for?

It’s for self-employed couriers, those about to become self-employed couriers, established courier companies and shipping companies. 

When you join, you get to see the advertised ‘loads’ in your area. You can then contact load posters and offer to deliver their loads, for a fee.

How much money can I make on The Exchange?

We can tell you average fees per delivery in your area. Register and a member of our team will let you know.

Will I be employed if I join The Exchange?

No. The Exchange is a marketplace. Couriers can use it to find work, and shipping companies use it to find couriers.

Who pays me for delivering loads?

Shipping companies (ie ‘load posters’) pay you for delivering their ‘loads’. The Courier Exchange doesn’t pay you; it’s simply a pioneering tool you can use to make your own money.

How much does it cost to join? 

We have several plans available, and prices vary depending on what you need. Register and our team will give you up-to-date prices.

What do I need to join?

If you don’t already have it, our team will help you get everything you need to join. You’ll need…

– A van

– A valid driving license

– 2 proofs of address (dated within the last 2 months)

– Hire and reward insurance (specific to light haulage or courier use)

– Business insurance

– Goods in transit insurance (with a minimum cover of £5,000)

– If you wish to expand your courier activities into Europe, CMR cover

Register your interest if you’d like our team to give you more details.

Can I use my car for deliveries?

Unfortunately, you’ll need a van to join The Exchange – although you can lease one from our partners BCD. Register your interest for more information.

How busy will I be?

The Courier Exchange is the UK’s biggest courier marketplace.

Load posters regularly post more than 13,000 loads a day.

Posts typically sell within 4 minutes, and around 5,000 posted loads remain unsold every day.

It’s a busy, busy place.

How many loads are there in my area?

Book a demo and one of our team will show you how many loads there are available in your area – live.
