Specialist Auctioneers delivery services with local expertise
Specialist Auctioneers courier services in Portsmouth with dedicated vehicles and professional handling. Whether you need same-day or overnight delivery, our team understands the specific requirements of the Auctioneers sector.
🗺️ Portsmouth Local Expertise
Portsmouth presents distinctive traffic challenges that our experienced couriers navigate daily:
The limited number of access routes onto Portsea Island creates significant bottlenecks during peak hours, particularly at the M275 entrance to the city
Ferry arrivals and departures at Portsmouth International Port and the Isle of Wight terminals create periodic surges in traffic flow
The dense urban layout with numerous one-way systems and pedestrianised zones requires detailed local knowledge to navigate efficiently
Naval operations and ship arrivals/departures can significantly impact traffic around HM Naval Base and surrounding areas
Major events at Fratton Park, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, and Gunwharf Quays create localised congestion that requires alternative routing strategies
Our delivery planning takes these local traffic conditions into account to provide reliable timeframes for collections and deliveries throughout Portsmouth, adapting to both the city's island geography and the additional challenges presented by its naval and maritime activities.

Horsley's Brand Promise
We charge fair rates for time and expenses
NO CRAMMING, NO DAMAGE
Your items get the space they deserve
While other courier services pack 12+ deliveries into one van, we dedicate our vehicle to YOUR delivery. No cramming, no corner-cutting, no "it'll probably be fine" mentality. Your antique furniture, arcade machines, or valuable goods travel properly protected with blankets, corner guards, and professional strapping. Because there's no point paying for delivery if your items arrive scratched, dented, or broken.
What you avoid:
Damaged goods, insurance claims, replacement costs, disappointed customers
The Bottom Line: We charge fair rates for time and expenses because that's what quality service costs. Your items are valuable, your reputation matters, and your customers deserve better than budget courier chaos.
