Not every delivery needs to happen in the next hour. Some jobs are best planned in advance — regular supplier runs, scheduled client deliveries, contract logistics where reliability and consistency matter more than speed. That’s where OAM Logistics fits.
We’re not competing with DPD or Evri. We’re the owner-managed alternative for businesses that want a named contact, direct communication and the same standard of service every time. Call us on 0161 821 0425 to discuss your requirements.
What Is a Planned Courier Service?
A planned courier service means booking your collection and delivery in advance — same vehicle, direct delivery, no shared loads. Whether it’s a next-day run or a regular weekly schedule, we agree the timing upfront and deliver to it consistently.
Who This Service Is For
- Businesses with regular supplier or client delivery runs
- Companies needing reliable next-day delivery without parcel carrier risk
- Organisations with scheduled collections on fixed days
- Businesses that need a consistent, named driver they can rely on
- Anyone who has been let down by parcel carriers and needs something more accountable

- Direct delivery — no sorting hubs, no transfers, no delays
- Owner-managed with 20+ years logistics experience
- A named contact who knows your account
- Proof of delivery on every job
- Fully insured from collection to delivery

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between your planned service and a parcel carrier?
Parcel carriers use shared networks and sorting hubs — your consignment may pass through multiple hands before delivery. With OAM, your goods travel on one vehicle, direct from collection to delivery, with a named driver and full accountability throughout.
Can I set up a regular scheduled run?
Yes — we work with a number of businesses on fixed weekly or monthly schedules. Call 0161 821 0425 to discuss your requirements and we’ll agree a contract rate based on your schedule.
Do you offer next-day delivery across the UK?
Yes. We can arrange next-day delivery across the UK through our Courier Exchange network. For Greater Manchester and the North West we handle runs directly. Call to discuss your specific destination and timings.
What size loads do you handle?
We handle everything from documents and parcels up to large van loads. We don’t handle palletised freight — if you need pallet delivery we can point you in the right direction.
How do I book a planned delivery?
Call us on 0161 821 0425 or use our contact form. For regular runs we’ll set up an account and agree a schedule. For one-off next-day jobs we can usually confirm same day.
