Delivery · Norwich
Our partner couriers in Norwich collect your goods from your warehouse, your central kitchen, your wholesaler or your shop, and hand them over to your customers, from the shopping streets of the centre to the villages of Broadland and South Norfolk.
In the centre, what sets the time of a delivery is the rules of the pedestrianised streets, where unloading is allowed only at certain hours, and of the stretches reserved for buses and taxis. As soon as you book, we fit each handover into the window your customer’s address allows, and we tell you straight away when that window cannot be met.
Norwich’s rules
England has 7 Clean Air Zones, and Norwich is not one of them. The city’s only low emission zone, on Castle Meadow, applies to buses and taxis. The vehicle delivering to your customers therefore pays no charge, and the price we give you when you book includes none.
Norwich city centre has pedestrianised streets where loading and unloading are banned for part of the day. When your customer is on one of them, we set the handover within the hours when a vehicle may stop there, and we tell you when you book if your preferred time falls outside them.
In Norwich, Norfolk County Council manages the roads and publishes the traffic regulation orders. They set where a delivery van may go and where only buses and taxis may drive, as on St Stephens Street in the direction heading down to Chapelfield Roundabout. We plan the route of every round with those rules, and we give your customer the arrival time worked out on that route.
Local rules checked in October 2026.
Norwich and the area around it
In Norwich, we prepare the route and the time of every stop before the courier sets off. The centre mixes pedestrianised streets, where a vehicle may stop to unload only at certain hours, streets closed to private cars but open to buses, taxis and delivery vehicles, and a few stretches where only buses and taxis may pass. Around the centre, Broadland and South Norfolk spread across market towns, villages and business parks; in Costessey, a bus and cycle gate closes part of Dereham Road.
Every delivery is dedicated: the courier loads at your site and goes straight to your recipients, with no depot or sorting centre in between. You almost always have several customers to serve: we link them into a round whose order follows the hours when unloading is allowed on each pedestrianised street and the detours we make to avoid Castle Meadow or the bus and taxi stretch of St Stephens Street. Our same-day delivery works this way, with a van from 5 m³, or a lorry of more than 20 m³ when you load several pallets.
Refrigerated transport, chilled and frozen, is the bulk of our business. A central kitchen often finishes its production during the night, and the restaurants, shops and supermarkets of Norwich and the surrounding area expect their chilled and frozen products before they open. The courier loads the order as soon as it is ready, and our night deliveries hand it over before opening to the public. When no one is there yet, the courier delivers with the codes or keys you entrust to us.
Unloading is not yet allowed on one customer’s pedestrianised street, another does not answer, a stop has to move in the round: our team calls the courier, gives the recipient the new time and calls you only when a decision is yours to make. You no longer have to chase each customer or follow the courier by phone. From 6am to 10pm, seven days a week, the team tracks your Norwich rounds.
We also take journeys between Norwich and another region: a lorry leaving a Broadland warehouse for a customer elsewhere in the country, or a van bringing stock from another site to your Norwich shops. Shippr has delivered in the United Kingdom since 2023.
What we do in Norwich
For a same-day order, we set the time of each handover around the pedestrianised streets and the bus-only stretches; for your chilled and frozen products, our couriers collect at night and deliver before opening time. Our other services work in Norwich as they do across the rest of the country.
The courier loads at your site and hands over your goods the same day, in central Norwich, in Broadland or in South Norfolk, at a time that allows for the streets where they can stop.
