Heriot-Watt University
Yes, Heriot-Watt's Riccarton campus in EH14 is inside our Edinburgh EH coverage. We deliver on Thursday mornings and collect on Thursday afternoons, fortnightly, connecting with London on Wednesdays, Cambridge on Tuesdays, and Oxford and Swindon on Saturdays.
Halls and accommodation we collect from: George Burnett Hall, Robert Bryson Hall, Robin Smith Hall, Lord Home Hall, Christina Miller Hall, Muriel Spark Hall, Anna McLeod Hall, Mary Fergusson Hall, plus every private hall and student flat in EH14.
Term pattern: Two semesters, roughly September to December and January to May. Students arrive at the Riccarton campus halls in early September and move out in May, with many relocating into Edinburgh city flats from second year.
How it works: book online with both postcodes, bring your pieces to the door on the day (or choose Assisted and we carry them from your room), and we deliver to the other end on the published day. You get a 4-hour window by text the evening before each leg, and £50 cover per piece is included.
Questions
How much does it cost to send my room from Heriot-Watt University?
Up to 4 boxes, bags or suitcases is £149 with Kerbside collection. A typical room of 10 pieces is £239, and a bike adds £59. Prices include VAT and are the same in both directions.
Do you collect from Heriot-Watt University halls?
Yes. We collect from George Burnett Hall, Robert Bryson Hall, Robin Smith Hall, Lord Home Hall and every other hall or student flat in the area. Scottish collections are on Thursdays. Kerbside means you bring everything to the front door or hall reception point; Assisted means we carry from your room.
When should I book around term dates?
Two semesters, roughly September to December and January to May. Book at least a week before you want collection so you get your preferred run; end of term runs fill first.
