Does royal mail deliver parcelforce

Royal Mail and Parcelforce are two separate companies, but they do have a close relationship.

Parcelforce is a parcel delivery company that is owned by Royal Mail. In fact, Parcelforce is a subsidiary of Royal Mail, and it operates as a separate business unit within the Royal Mail Group.

As a result, Parcelforce uses Royal Mail's infrastructure and delivery network to deliver parcels. This means that Parcelforce parcels are often delivered by Royal Mail postmen and women, using the same routes and vehicles as Royal Mail.

However, it's worth noting that Parcelforce has its own dedicated fleet of vehicles and delivery teams, and it also uses independent contractors to deliver parcels in some areas. So, while Royal Mail is involved in the delivery process, Parcelforce is a separate company with its own operations and logistics.

In terms of delivery, Parcelforce parcels are typically delivered on a next-day or two-day basis, depending on the service chosen by the sender. Royal Mail's delivery network is used to deliver Parcelforce parcels to the local area, and then Parcelforce's own delivery teams take over to deliver the parcel to the final destination.

So, to answer your question, Royal Mail does deliver Parcelforce parcels, but it's a collaborative effort between the two companies.
