Transparent Pricing and a Versatile Fleet for County Durham
At DAGO Express, we believe that trust is built on transparency, especially when it comes to pricing. When you request a quote for a courier service in Durham, the price you see is the price you pay – and every shipment includes our Goods in Transit Insurance as standard. There are no hidden surcharges, no unexpected fuel levies, and no convoluted pricing structures. We provide clear, upfront costs so you can budget with confidence, whether you're a student in the Viaduct area sending a parcel home or a large engineering firm on the Meadowfield Industrial Estate shipping finished goods.
Our versatile fleet – all Euro 6 and fully ULEZ compliant – is equipped to handle any consignment, large or small. We match the right vehicle to your specific needs, ensuring cost-efficiency and security for your goods. Our pricing is straightforward:
Small Van: from £48.50
– Perfect for urgent document delivery, small packages, or a last-minute sample from a lab at Durham University to a partner institution.
Transporter / SWB Van: from £68.50
– Ideal for multi-box consignments, e-commerce stock collections, or delivering marketing materials for an event at the Gala Theatre.
Curtainside / Luton Van: from £118.50
– The go-to choice for same day pallet and palletised goods, larger equipment, or a full furniture transport job from a home in Crossgate. This is the vehicle of choice for most local delivery experts for pallet freight in Durham requirements.
Tail Lift Vehicle: from £178.50
– Essential for heavy, awkward items that require mechanical assistance, such as delivering catering equipment to a venue or collecting machinery from a factory floor.
For shipments that are urgent but not time-critical enough for a dedicated same-day vehicle, our overnight express service offers a fantastic, cost-effective solution. We collect your items from anywhere in the DH1 area and ensure they are delivered securely anywhere in the UK by the next working day. This service provides a perfect balance of speed and value. Our deep understanding of local traffic patterns, from navigating the morning rush on the A167 towards Darlington to finding the clever shortcuts around Framwellgate Moor, ensures that even our collection times are optimised, saving you time and money from the very first mile.

How do you guarantee an on-time delivery from Durham to Sunderland, avoiding potential A19 or A690 traffic?
Our drivers combine their extensive local knowledge with live traffic data. While the A690 is often the most direct route to the A19 for Sunderland, our team constantly monitors for congestion. They are proficient in using alternative local B-roads and routes via Houghton-le-Spring if necessary to bypass traffic and ensure your delivery remains on schedule.
Is my shipment collected from Durham fully insured?
Yes, every single shipment we handle is covered by our comprehensive Goods in Transit transport insurance as standard.
