Same day semiconductor courier

Fab tools, test equipment and wafer shipments are high value and can't afford rough handling or delays. We collect within the hour and drive straight to the fab, lab or supplier.

Items stay on one vehicle, secured as you've packed them, and handled to your instructions.

What we move for semiconductor businesses

  • Wafers in sealed carriers
  • Tool spares and consumables
  • Test and probe equipment
  • Photomasks and reticle cases
  • Cleanroom supplies
  • Boards and modules for testing
  • Samples for failure analysis
  • Equipment for repair and calibration

Please pack wafers and cleanroom items in their sealed carriers or protective packaging before collection. We keep them upright and secured, and we never open or repack anything.

Why semiconductor businesses choose Vanguard

Minimal handling

One vehicle, one driver, no sorting centres. Your items are loaded once and unloaded once.

Handled to your instructions

Tell us about orientation, stacking and fragility and we'll follow it.

Downtime reduced

When a tool is down waiting for a part, we collect fast and give you a live ETA.

How a same day booking works

  1. Tell us the job

    Call, WhatsApp or send the quote form with both postcodes and what you're sending. We reply with a price and a collection time.

  2. We collect within the hour

    Once you confirm, the nearest suitable driver heads to you. We aim to be there within 60 minutes.

  3. Follow the journey

    Your goods stay on that one vehicle. You get live ETAs, and a real person if you need to change anything.

  4. Delivered direct

    We hand over at the delivery address and confirm to you as soon as it's done.

Semiconductor courier questions

Can you keep shipments upright?

Yes. Mark cases 'this way up' and tell us when you book, and the driver will secure them upright.

Are high-value shipments insured?

Your goods are insured while they're with us. Tell us the value when you book so we can confirm the cover that applies.

Can you deliver into a cleanroom?

We deliver to the goods-in or receiving point you specify. Cleanroom entry follows your site's own procedures.

Booking something urgent?

Tell us what needs to move and where. We will give you a price and a collection time straight away.
