Quickstart is the quickest and easiest way to setup our services. It’s only available at addresses that have had Virgin Media services in the past, so we’ll check to make sure your property is Virgin Media-ready when you make your order.
If you can get Quickstart, you can choose one of two delivery options
Click and Collect
Have your new kit delivered to one of over 6000 Yodel store locations across the UK.
Delivery via Yodel
Have your new kit delivered to any UK address and have someone over 18 sign for the package.
We can deliver your Quickstart pack within three working days of your order date for addresses on the UK mainland, or within four working days if you live in Northern Ireland. But we'll let you choose your delivery day when you place your order.
If you’ve chosen Click and Collect, you'll receive an email when your Quickstart pack is ready to pick up from your chosen Yodel store location.
If you've chosen to have your Quickstart pack delivered to your address instead, Yodel will message you further detail on your delivery. This confirmation message will include a tracking code so you can see where your order is.
To track, simply visit yodel.co.uk, or download the Yodel mobile app.
When your Quickstart pack has arrived at your chosen Yodel Store location, you'll receive an email with a collection code and barcode. You’ll need to take these along with proof of your identity when you go to pick up your package.
The store will accept the following forms of ID:
The Yodel store location will scan or enter the collection code and check your ID, and then give you your QuickStart pack.
If you're unable to go to the CollectPlus location yourself, you can give the collection code to someone else. They'll need to be over 18 and take your ID with them when they collect your Quickstart pack.
Yodel will attempt delivery at your address on your chosen day. If for any reason you are not going to be around, you can manage your delivery options on the day.
Your Quickstart pack contains everything you need to set up your new Virgin Media services, and you’ll find some simple step-by-step instructions too.
You can also find the instructions on our website:
If there's a problem with your Quickstart pack delivery, then we recommend contacting the delivery courier first.
If you're having your services installed by one our engineers, you'll be able to choose the installation day and timeslot when you place your order. The engineer will bring everything needed to install your Virgin Media services on your chosen day.
On your installation day, your engineer will arrive in a Virgin Media van and be carrying ID.
Here are a few things you can do to make sure it all goes smoothly.
Your block of flats may already be set up with our services. This means our cabling from individual premises link back into a main terminal, housed within a communal area of the building. If your flat hasn’t had our services before you will need to gain permission from your landlord or neighbours ahead of the install. If it’s needed we’ll let you know when you book the order.
If your home hasn’t had our services before you will need to gain permission from your landlord ahead of the install. If permission is needed we’ll let you know when you book the order.
