We use http://www.scarlet.co.uk/ for most of our stuff or http://www.horizon-express.co.uk/index.php/interna...

If you call horizon ask for Nick.

I'm based in Oxford, so not sure how helpful this is to you, but as no-one has suggested anything yet I thought I'd post it anyway.

I've used RM Couriers and CitySprint before for sameday Oxford to London and they weren't extravagant (<£100 for small items). Have also used TNT same day, but they are usually dearer as they offer discounts based on usage.

I used to use a company called contact couriers for our tenders that needed delivering. They are based in Theale.

I'm sure any courier would do a same day service for a cost

If it was next week when it looks like I am free you could have an ex motorbike courier at your disposal to do it for beer/wine payment - weather dependant! It would be like old times - nothing else that has wheels can beat a sportsbike for getting A to B during the day, even those with Blue's and Two's. Well maybe 2 wheels and Blue lights, but only because they can run red lights....

It is a nice day tomorrow - Match my day rate and I won't turn up for work tomrrow (but then it would be cheaper to hire a taxi return from Berks for your passport!)
