Why Maxmove for Same-Day Delivery
Pickup often in under 60 minutes
Book in minutes and immediately see the fastest available pickup window. In metropolitan areas the driver often arrives in under an hour – no hotline, no waiting. Need it even faster? The express courier usually picks up in under 45 minutes.
Fixed price, no surprises
The price is binding before you book – based on distance and vehicle class, with no hidden surcharges. That lets you budget same-day deliveries like any other line item.
Delivery documented
You and your recipient track the trip live. Handover is documented with a digital proof of delivery, signature, and timestamp – with a photo on request.
Germany-wide, from document to pallet
From an envelope to palletized goods: choose the right vehicle class from car to van – in Cologne, NRW, and across Germany.
Same-Day, Express, or Direct Drive – Which Fits?
Same-day means pickup and delivery on the same day, with a plannable time window. The express courier is the fastest tier for emergencies – pickup usually in under 45 minutes and the fastest possible delivery. Both run as direct drives: your shipment stays in the same vehicle, with no transloading and no depot.
Rule of thumb: if it has to be as fast as possible, choose express. If delivery by the evening is enough, same-day is the more economical choice. At booking you see both options compared with price and time window.
Same-Day for Business Customers
Retailers deliver in-store purchases to their customers the same day, online shops offer same-day at checkout, wholesalers and workshops cover urgent restocking – without their own fleet. Book capacity as needed, including several drivers in parallel for peaks.
We bundle recurring runs into fixed routes, billed by collective invoice. Through the Maxmove platform your teams keep every delivery in view – from booking through live tracking to proof of delivery.
Same-day jobs from Cologne and the Ruhrgebiet
A shop sale in Cologne, a restock for a workshop in Essen – same-day pays off the moment a day of waiting costs you an appointment or a sale. You see the possible pickup window before you place the order.
Retail: bought today, delivered today
A customer in central Cologne buys an armchair or a lamp in the morning and has no intention of carrying it home – delivery today is what closes the sale. Tell her it will take until next week and the next click decides – she buys it online instead. With a same-day courier run you book a vehicle that works only your shop's route: collected in store, delivered to the flat door, with nothing reloaded in between. Your customer follows the approach live on the map, with no app and no login.
Restocks for trades and wholesalers
The order is picked, but one line is missing: a profile, a fitting, a pallet of goods that only arrives from the central warehouse in the afternoon. Put it on the regular route and it turns up tomorrow – and the installation date collapses. The restock goes out as a direct delivery the same day: one vehicle, one job, handed over at the site or the works gate you stored on the order. Receipt is documented with digital proof of delivery: photo, signature and timestamp.
Ruhrgebiet: short distances, long transit times
Between Essen and Duisburg, retailers, workshops and the logistics estates around Duisburg's port sit almost on top of each other – across the Ruhrgebiet sender and recipient are often one motorway junction apart. Even so, plenty of shipments still travel via a depot in a third city – and a short hop turns into a full day. We drive it straight through: one vehicle dedicated to your job, no reloading, collected and delivered at the addresses you enter. The cost is fixed as an instant price before you book.
Vehicle classes for same-day delivery
For same-day work you book exactly the class the shipment needs: an estate car for parcels and samples, a compact van for several boxes, transporters and Sprinters for furniture, bulky goods and pallets. Each row lists payload, pallet spaces and load area – and the from-prices are calculated live by our pricing engine for the Cologne → Düsseldorf corridor rather than pulled from a fixed list.
