What Is a Business Courier Account?
A business courier account is a standing arrangement between your business and a courier. Rather than booking and paying for each job individually, you have a named contact, an agreed rate, and a regular invoicing schedule. It’s designed for businesses that move goods regularly — whether that’s daily collections, weekly supplier runs, or scheduled client deliveries.
The alternative — booking a different courier every time, or relying on a parcel carrier — means variable pricing, inconsistent service, and no accountability when something goes wrong. An account fixes all of that.
Who Is a Business Account For?
A courier account makes sense if your business regularly needs any of the following:
- Same day collections on a fixed schedule
- Regular supplier or client delivery runs
- Urgent parts or document deliveries that can’t wait
- Reliable next-day delivery without parcel carrier risk
- A named driver who knows your premises and your requirements
We work with businesses across Greater Manchester in manufacturing, retail, professional services, joinery, legal, and specialist trades — most of them came to us after being let down by a parcel carrier or a less reliable local courier.
How It Works With OAM Logistics
Setting up an account with us is straightforward:
- Call us on 0161 821 0425 and tell us about your requirements — how often you need collections, typical destinations, vehicle requirements, and any time-sensitive factors.
- We agree a rate based on your schedule, distance, and vehicle type. Regular contract runs are priced competitively — more predictably than ad-hoc bookings.
- We set up your account with a named point of contact and your preferred collection days or response requirements.
- You get a weekly invoice — typically settled within 14 days, with extended terms available for established accounts.
There’s no lengthy onboarding process, no contracts to sign before you’ve even tried the service, and no call centres to deal with. You speak directly to us from day one.
What Makes OAM Different From a Parcel Carrier Account?
Parcel carrier accounts give you a portal, a tracking number, and a helpline. What they don’t give you is accountability — when something goes wrong, you’re dealing with a customer service team who had nothing to do with your delivery.
With OAM, you deal directly with the owner. Every collection is handled by our team, with direct communication throughout and proof of delivery on completion. If there’s ever an issue, you call us — not a call centre.
That direct accountability is why businesses stay with us. It’s also why most of our account clients came to us after a bad experience with a national operator.
Pricing and Invoicing
Business account rates are based on your schedule, distance, and vehicle requirement. Regular contract runs are priced at a fixed competitive rate — you’ll always know what you’re paying before we collect.
Invoices are issued weekly and payment is typically due within 14 days. Extended payment terms are available for established accounts — just ask when we set things up.
There are no hidden charges, no fuel surcharges added after the fact, and no surprises on the invoice.
