Does parcelforce delivery through royal mail

Yes, Parcelforce, a UK-based parcel delivery company, uses Royal Mail's network and infrastructure for some of its deliveries. Here's how it works:

  1. Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's network for smaller parcels: For smaller parcels weighing up to 2 kg, Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's network, which is one of the largest and most extensive in the UK. This allows Parcelforce to benefit from Royal Mail's extensive coverage and efficient delivery infrastructure.
  2. Parcelforce has its own network for larger parcels: For larger parcels weighing over 2 kg, Parcelforce has its own dedicated network of depots, vehicles, and staff. This allows them to handle heavier and bulkier items more efficiently.
  3. Royal Mail's sorting and delivery infrastructure: When Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's network, their parcels are sorted and delivered using Royal Mail's infrastructure, including their sorting offices, delivery offices, and postal routes.
  4. Parcelforce's own tracking and customer service: Despite using Royal Mail's network, Parcelforce maintains its own tracking system and customer service team, allowing customers to track their parcels and get support directly from Parcelforce.

By partnering with Royal Mail, Parcelforce can leverage their expertise and infrastructure to provide efficient and reliable delivery services to customers across the UK and internationally.
