Do parcelforce deliver with royal mail
Yes, Parcelforce, a UK-based parcel delivery company, uses Royal Mail's network to deliver some of its parcels. Here's how it works:
- Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's network for smaller parcels: For smaller parcels weighing up to 2 kg, Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's network to deliver them. This is because Royal Mail has a more extensive network of post offices and delivery routes, making it more efficient for smaller parcels.
- Parcelforce's own network for larger parcels: For larger parcels weighing over 2 kg, Parcelforce uses its own network of depots and delivery vehicles. This is because larger parcels require more specialized handling and transportation.
- Hybrid delivery model: Parcelforce's hybrid delivery model allows them to leverage the strengths of both their own network and Royal Mail's network. This means that they can use Royal Mail's network for smaller, lighter parcels, while using their own network for larger, heavier parcels.
By using Royal Mail's network for smaller parcels, Parcelforce can:
- Reduce costs
- Increase efficiency
- Provide faster delivery times
However, it's worth noting that not all Parcelforce parcels are delivered by Royal Mail. Larger and heavier parcels are typically delivered by Parcelforce's own drivers and vehicles.
I hope that helps clarify things!
