XXV Courier & Logistics

13/02/2026

I am just putting a post up on here incase anyone posts about xxv courier and logistics driving dangerously on the A72 near Cadrona.

I was on my way back to Galashiels from a job in West Linton, just passed the junction for Cadrona and before the s bend in the road by the river, the bus had pulled in on the road by the houses on the road side, with 3 or 4 cars behind it coming to a halt. I started to slow down, when my break pedal went to the floor and stopped working.

I didn't have much time to think, the van wasn't stopping and I was about to plough into the vehicle in front, I could see that there was oncoming cars on the other side of the road about 400meters away, so I had to pull out to go past the stationary vehicles or drive into the back of them, put my hazard lights on to try warn other vehicles there was an issue. Used my gears to slow down and was very fortunate that there was a lay by to drive into and handbrake to stop.

The bus pulled off and the cars followed, with a few hand signals at me as they drove off past me.

The RAC have been out, and the brake fluid hose has come loose, and the wheel has rubbed a hole in the pipe.

So if by any chance their are any negative posts that appear, honestly the gods were on all our sides, because I was seconds from an accident and not just driving like a clown.

Now 2.5 hours later sitting in the cold waiting for a recovery truck, have a blessed weekend everyone.

Another job

02/11/2025

Been a very busy few months, delivered 97 kitchens around the Borders, Edinburgh, Kilmarnock and Troon, carried out two house moves, done 8 rubbish uplifts from the Borders, Edinburgh and Falkirk. Set up Two Markets in Galashiels and delivered 4 van loads of electrical circuit boards from Galashiels to Haddington.

The run up to Christmas is looking just as busy, and I am exceptionally proud of the work me and my team carry out.

XXV Courier & Logistics is only a phone call or email away.

Good morning all, hope everyone is having a great start to the week.

I've been a bit quite for a while on here, so time to get back on track.

1 in Galashiels

XXV Courier & Logistics here again for an update on my recent travels.

Two weeks ago, we delivered 2 kitchens to Newstead and 2 deliveries to Newtown, a kitchen in Galashiels, then a kitchen in Granton and Penicuik.

We carried out a rubbish uplift from Portobello, a house move in Galashiels and an IKEA pick up and delivery.

Last week saw 3 Kitchens to Peebles, a kitchen in Galashiels and Earlston, and a small delivery in Galashiels. You can't beat a chilled out week with time to rest.

This week has been quiet on the delivery front but busy on the rubbish uplifts. We have had a door delivery to Lauder, a kitchen from Dunbar to Haddington and stock collections from Penicuik and Prestonfield. Stay clear of the roundabout at Cameron Toll heading towards Prestonfield, Gas works have closed off the roundabout heading from Cameron Toll towards Prestonfield and Commonwealth Pool, The usual not sign posted until it's too late and the artic lorry in front had made the same mistake.

We have been doing a house clearance in Selkirk with videos to follow, but so far we have filled the van three times from the basement with another load next week to completely empty the basement, taking the rubbish to @ Loanhead.

And today saw us setting up the Market in Galashiels at 06.00 and taken it down at 14.00 .

Have a wonderful weekend.

It's been over a month since my last post, so thought I'd better settle any nerves incase anyone thought I had been abducted and taken to another galaxy far far away to deliver kitchens, do house moves and do waste uplifts. They tried, but after 20 minutes in the spacecraft they delivered me back home, apologised and explained that I was so handsome and too funny, and that I may be a risk to all male civilisation on the planet PhdZ431. I told them to try Celtic Park home end, and that they wouldn't have the same problem there. Have a great weekend.
