Do parcelforce carry royal mail parcels

Yes, Parcelforce, a subsidiary of Royal Mail, does carry Royal Mail parcels. In fact, Parcelforce is responsible for delivering a significant portion of Royal Mail's parcel volumes.

Here's how it works:

1. Royal Mail sorts and processes parcels at their depots, including those sent via their various services, such as 1st Class, 2nd Class, and Special Delivery.
2. Parcelforce takes over the delivery of these parcels, using their own network of depots, vehicles, and delivery staff.
3. Parcelforce delivers the parcels to customers, using their own tracking and delivery systems.

This partnership allows Royal Mail to focus on sorting and processing parcels, while Parcelforce handles the final delivery leg. This arrangement helps to ensure efficient and reliable delivery of parcels across the UK.

It's worth noting that not all Royal Mail parcels are carried by Parcelforce. Some parcels, such as those sent via Royal Mail's own delivery services, like Special Delivery Guaranteed, may be delivered directly by Royal Mail staff. However, a significant proportion of Royal Mail's parcel volumes are indeed carried by Parcelforce.
