Does amazon deliver with royal mail
In the UK, Amazon does use Royal Mail for some of its deliveries, but not exclusively. Amazon has a complex logistics network that involves multiple carriers, including:
- Amazon Logistics (Amazon's own delivery network): Amazon has its own fleet of delivery vans and drivers, which handle a significant portion of its deliveries.
- Royal Mail: Amazon uses Royal Mail for some of its deliveries, particularly for smaller packages and parcels.
- Hermes: Amazon also uses Hermes, a UK-based parcel delivery company, for some of its deliveries.
- Yodel: Amazon has a partnership with Yodel, another UK-based parcel delivery company, to handle some of its deliveries.
- DHL: Amazon uses DHL for some of its international deliveries.
When you place an order on Amazon, the delivery carrier used will depend on various factors, such as:
- Package size and weight
- Destination (local or international)
- Delivery speed (e.g., standard, one-day, or same-day)
- Your location (Amazon may use different carriers in different regions)
If your order is being delivered by Royal Mail, you can expect the following:
- Royal Mail's standard delivery service typically takes 1-3 working days for UK deliveries.
- Royal Mail's tracked 24 service typically takes 1 working day for UK deliveries.
- Royal Mail's Special Delivery Guaranteed service typically takes 1 working day for UK deliveries, with a signature upon delivery.
Keep in mind that Amazon may use different carriers for different parts of your order, so you may receive multiple deliveries from different carriers.
