FAQs
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.
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.
We can tell you average fees per delivery in your area. Apply now and a member of our team will let you know.
No. The Exchange is a marketplace. Couriers can use it to find work, and shipping companies use it to find couriers.
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.
We have several plans available, and prices vary depending on what you need. Sign up today and our team will give you up-to-date prices.
