Express delivery cost in Belgium: how to estimate your price in a few clicks

How much does an express delivery in Brussels cost? It's often the first question you ask before entrusting an urgent shipment. And rightly so: in B2B, the cost of an express delivery is never a single price set in stone. It depends on your actual need. In this article, we explain why the price is worked out case by case, which factors drive it and, above all, how to get your estimate in just a few clicks with the Alpha Express online simulation.

How much does an express delivery in Belgium cost?

There's no single fixed rate for an express delivery in Belgium. The price depends on four elements: the distance, the level of urgency, the option you choose (Express, Jet, Jet+ or Navette) and the nature of the goods. To find out your exact rate, the quickest and easiest way is to create your account and run an online simulation: you get a personalised estimate in a few minutes, available 24/7.

The Alpha Express options at a glance:

• Express: a fast pickup and a direct delivery for your most urgent shipments.
• Jet+: the fast solution for an immediate, priority run (pickup before 11:00; delivery guaranteed before 17:00 in Brussels).
• Jet: same-day guaranteed delivery (pickup before 11:00; delivery guaranteed before 18:30 in Brussels).
• Navette: delivery on D+1 or D+2.

Why the price of an express delivery isn't shown publicly

A fixed price list would give a false picture of reality. Every B2B shipment is unique: an urgent document to deliver in central Brussels has nothing in common with a daily Navette to Antwerp or a sensitive international shipment.

A tailored rate brings your business three concrete benefits:

• A fair price: you pay exactly what matches your route and your level of urgency, with no inflated average package.
• Full transparency: the estimate breaks down your run before you order, with no surprises on the invoice.
• A solution that fits: the simulation points you to the option best suited to your actual need.

Which factors determine the cost of your express delivery?

To estimate the price of an express delivery in Brussels or elsewhere in Belgium, several criteria come into play:

• Distance and area: a pickup in the 19 Brussels municipalities, a trip to the rest of Belgium or an international shipment are not priced the same way.
• Level of urgency: an immediate Express run puts a vehicle on the road at once, unlike a Navette shipment scheduled in advance.
• The option you choose: Express, Jet, Jet+ and Navette each meet a different need.
• Volume and weight: a document, a parcel or a pallet don't take up the same space or the same vehicle.
• The nature of the goods: a fragile, high-value or medical shipment calls for specific handling.
• The pickup time: availability 24/7, including at night and at weekends, is built into the calculation.
