Do amazon deliver via royal mail
Yes, Amazon does use Royal Mail for some of its deliveries in the UK. However, the specific delivery method used by Amazon can vary depending on the item, your location, and the shipping option you've chosen.
Here are some scenarios where Amazon might use Royal Mail:
- Standard Delivery: For standard delivery, Amazon often uses Royal Mail's 2nd Class or 1st Class services for packages weighing up to 2 kg (4.4 lbs).
- Royal Mail Special Delivery: For items that require a signature upon delivery, Amazon might use Royal Mail's Special Delivery service, which provides a tracking number and requires a signature upon delivery.
- Amazon Lockers: Amazon Lockers are self-service kiosks where you can collect your packages at a convenient location. Royal Mail is one of the courier partners used by Amazon for Locker deliveries.
- Amazon Flex: Amazon Flex is a delivery service that uses independent contractors to deliver packages. In some areas, Amazon Flex drivers might use Royal Mail's services to deliver packages.
However, it's worth noting that Amazon also uses other courier services, such as:
- DPD: DPD is a popular courier service used by Amazon for many of its deliveries.
- Yodel: Yodel is another courier service used by Amazon for some of its deliveries.
- Amazon Logistics: Amazon Logistics is Amazon's own delivery network, which uses Amazon-branded vans and drivers to deliver packages.
To check which courier service will be used for your Amazon delivery, you can:
- Log in to your Amazon account and check the order details.
- Look for the "Estimated delivery date" and "Estimated delivery time" information.
- Check the "Shipping by" or "Courier" information, which might indicate the specific courier service used.
Keep in mind that Amazon's delivery options and courier services can vary depending on your location and the item you're purchasing.
