Why York Businesses Choose Our Weekend Delivery
🚚 Local York Expertise

• Minster and Castle areas have strict vehicle size and weight limits
• Tourist season brings severe congestion from March to October
• Railway station area complicated by taxi restrictions and passenger flows
⚡ Weekend Delivery Guarantee
York's central position provides excellent connections across the North:
• York to Leeds – 24 miles (~45 minutes via A64)
• York to Manchester – 70 miles (~1.5 hours via A64/M62)
• York to London – 208 miles (~3.5 hours via A1)
• York to Edinburgh – 200 miles (~3.5 hours via A1)
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.
