Band is the higher of the two parishes. Nothing else changes the price: not the fuel price, not how far up the road the address is, not whether we have to come back a second time.

Everything passes through the depot, so a parcel is two legs: the van that collects it and the van that delivers it. The board above knows which days each parish is on a run and what time the van leaves, so the date it prints is a date we can keep — and the price it prints is the price at the counter.

On time, and the quarters we got wrong
On time means delivered on or before the date quoted at booking. We publish the figure whether it flatters us or not — the December quarter below does not. How the figure is counted
Apr to Jun 2026
96.4%
23,118 parcels carried, 833 of them late against the date quoted at booking. The road closure in the Bog Walk gorge is half of that number.

The bars start at 90%, not 0%, so the difference between a good quarter and a bad one is visible.

Never charged
Six charges we don't make
A quote that grows on the invoice is the thing shops complain about most, and it is nearly always one of these six lines. They are printed on every docket at $0.00 so you can check them off before you send.
- Fuel levy — elsewhere 8 to 15% of the rate, revised monthly$0.00
- Remote-area supplement — elsewhere $6 to $18 a parcel outside the town centre$0.00
- Re-delivery after a missed attempt — elsewhere The full rate again for each attempt$0.00
- Saturday delivery in the metro — elsewhere 50% surcharge, or not offered$0.00
- Signature and photograph on delivery — elsewhere $2 a parcel, or an account add-on$0.00
- Waiting time at collection — elsewhere $1 a minute after the first ten$0.00

At the door
Three attempts, then ten days at the depot
If nobody is there, the driver photographs the door, rings the number on the waybill and brings the parcel back to Marcus Garvey Drive. We try again on the next run day for that parish, and once more after that.
After the third attempt the parcel waits at the counter for ten days and either of you can collect it. No attempt costs anything: a missed delivery is usually our timing, not your customer's fault.

Account customers
Who sends with us
Counters, pharmacies, an attorney's twice-daily document run and a farm sending produce to the north coast hotels. More of what customers say
We move stock between three branches and the cold chain gives us four hours. The highway van is at our Mandeville door before ten every weekday, and in two years the only late transfer was the week of the Bog Walk closure, which they told us about the night before.
I quote a customer in Sav-la-Mar the part plus seventeen dollars, and seventeen dollars is what it costs. No fuel line, no out-of-town line. My old courier's invoice never matched the quote I gave and I was eating the difference every month.
Titles and signed contracts, twice a day, signed for at both ends with a photograph. The standing 15:00 collection means my staff are not waiting on a driver, and the board tells me whether a Portland filing will be there Wednesday or Friday before I promise a client.
Asked at the counter
Questions, answered straight
01
What will you not carry?
Cash, firearms and ammunition, live animals, ganja and anything else illegal, unpackaged glass, medical samples, and perishables that need more than four hours. If a parcel is sealed and you will not tell us what is in it, we will not move it.
02
What decides the price?
Two things and nothing else: the parcel class, and the higher of the two parish bands. A small parcel from Kingston to Saint Andrew is band 1; the same parcel from Kingston to Negril is band 4 because Westmoreland is band 4. Pick both ends on the board and you have the whole price.
03
Can it go today?
Between Kingston, Saint Andrew and Saint Catherine, yes, if we have it by 13:00 — it goes out on the 13:30 metro van. Everywhere else the parcel travels on the next run day for that parish, because the parcel has to come through the depot on Marcus Garvey Drive before it goes out again. The board works out the date for you.
04
What happens if nobody is at the address?
The driver photographs the door, rings the number on the waybill, and brings the parcel back. We try again on the next run day, and once more after that. Then it waits at the depot for ten days for collection. No attempt is charged for.
