Bank Holiday Dates and Opening Hours

SpeedLink operates 24 hour a day, 7 day a week, 365 day a year but has unique bank holiday dates and opening hours for our customer service contact centre.

All shipments carried on any bank holiday day including Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays or Mondays will need to be pre-booked before close of business the day prior to the Bank Holiday.

Our UK & European contact centre will be closed for bank holiday weekends and will re-open at 08:30 AM on day following the bank holiday. But don't worry! We still have our finger on the pulse of our operation around the clock. Our out of hours teams ensure smooth, un-interrupted service every single day of the year.

Summer 2026

Typically, during the UK school holiday period from the latter part of July to the first week in September, our contact centre hours change slightly. For 2026, our hours will be 09:00 - 17:00 Monday through Friday between Monday July 20 and Tuesday September 1st, where normal hours resume at 08:30.

My dad needed a oxygen device delivered from UK to the Philippines and SpeedLink have been very helpful from quoting and beyond, the operator on the phone was very helpful and patient taking me through the checks and what needed to package the device properly, it got to them within a week (which is quite good as it’s on the other side of the world) no problems would definitely recommend Again thank you so much

Mimi L

Great experience from beginning (obtaining a quotation) to end (delivery of parcel)! The staff were very accommodating and provided quotations on the same day, prices were reasonable for the service they provided. Driver also gave a courtesy call before arriving at the delivery address as a heads up. Definitely would use them again! Thank you!

I was blown away by the amount of care and compassion shown by SpeedLink Especially David McMillen Managing Director Repatriation.If you have any doubt about using SpeedLink forget it. They are 5 Star and well deserved. All it took me was one Email.

Bringing my son’s ashes to the UK from USA looked like a daunting task. Fortunately I found Speedlink who took on the job and kept me fully informed as the transfer progressed. Good communication, good interpersonal skills throughout helped everything go smoothly- exactly what was required! The service has been really appreciated!

The package was collected on time and delivered when they said it would be. Very easy and efficient service for a reasonable price.

Matt Lewis

I had to arrange transportation of my mother's ashes from the UK to Turkey. What at first appeared to be a complex and costly exercise was neither of these thanks to Speedlink. The engagement and communication process was faultless and both I and the recipient were kept informed of progress regarding delivery ensuring that the timeframe met everybody's needs. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone who needs to transport ashes internationally to consider using their service. All staff that I dealt with were professional and helpful at every juncture and made what could have been a difficult process smooth and seamless. Many thanks once again.

Corrina Kermath

Excellent service no problems at all. Would 100% use again.

Gregor Hutchison

I can highly recommend Speedlink. We needed an urgent part picked up in Southampton and taken to the West Coast of Scotland, within 2 hours of my call a van arrived in Southampton, picked up the part and had it delivered to us by 0800 the next morning. Excellent communication at all times gave us confidence they would deliver as requested.
