Can you send your parcelforce via royal mail
A clever question!
While Parcelforce is a subsidiary of Royal Mail, they are two separate companies with their own networks and services. However, there is a way to send a Parcelforce parcel via Royal Mail, but it's not a straightforward process.
Here's what you need to know:
- Parcelforce International: If you want to send a Parcelforce International parcel, you can use Royal Mail's International Tracked & Signed service. This service is available for parcels up to 30kg and offers tracking and signature on delivery. However, you'll need to create a Parcelforce International label and attach it to the parcel.
- Parcelforce Domestic: For Parcelforce Domestic parcels, you can use Royal Mail's 2nd Class or 1st Class services. You'll need to create a Royal Mail label and attach it to the parcel. Keep in mind that Parcelforce Domestic parcels are typically faster and more reliable than Royal Mail services.
- Parcelforce Drop-off: If you have a Parcelforce parcel that you want to send via Royal Mail, you can take it to a Royal Mail Post Office or a Parcelforce Drop-off point. However, you'll need to ensure that the parcel is correctly packaged and labeled for Royal Mail's services.
To summarize:
- Parcelforce International: Use Royal Mail's International Tracked & Signed service with a Parcelforce International label.
- Parcelforce Domestic: Use Royal Mail's 2nd Class or 1st Class services with a Royal Mail label.
- Parcelforce Drop-off: Take the parcel to a Royal Mail Post Office or Parcelforce Drop-off point, ensuring it's correctly packaged and labeled for Royal Mail's services.
