New Premium Same Day Delivery

For urgent consignments that need to be there as soon as possible, try our Same Day Delivery service from DHL. You may find it surprisingly cheaper than our next day deliveries, but only if you have a multiparcel consignment going to the same address. i.e 20 parcels going to the same address 44 miles away would cost £171.20 whereas a small van quote for a Same Day service would cost £106.00 + vat

We offer a choice of dedicated Motorcycle or Small Van to suit your needs.

New DPD UK Next Day Delivery Service

Parceline have changed their name to DPD, all our european and international Parceline services have changed from Parceline - Euro Economy to DPD CLASSIC and the Parceline - Air Express to DPD EXPRESS. We have also negotiated very competitive UK rates for the following services:

DPD - Next Day
DPD - 12:00 (Delivered next working day by 12.00pm)
DPD - 10:00 (Delivered next working day by 10.00am)

Parcelforce Rates Gone Up

I can only apologise to the regulars who book with Parcelforce. Let me explain the situation.

Parcelforce made a decision in April 2006 to no longer give discounted rates to online parcel couriers. Because of the automated software solutions we have developed, we approached large retailing companies that had big Parcelforce accounts, and implemented our booking software to sit between their online shopping carts and Parcelforces booking system, (this is why we claim that we orchestrate such a high quantity of parcel deliveries each month). We have negotiatied contra-deal contracts with a few of these clients whereby we utilise their Parcelforce shipping account in exchange for the software to help run their in-house logistics. It has worked out well for the last two years but we find that each deal has a shelf life of no more than 6 months because Parcelforce end up surcharging third party collections on the account.

P4D have now secured expentional rates with DHL and they are set to improve again in the near future. Our stats show the rate of successful collections by DHL have improved to a standard far better than Parcelforce, this is only since our fully integrated booking system kicked into action last month. Everything right from booking, collection, tracking and delivery has surpassed the old Parcelforce service in our opinion.

We will still be supplying the Parcelforce service, but unfortunately only at the standard rate which resellers are officially allowed to sell at when buying direct from Parcelforce.

Please note we have not been doing anything illegal, just 'going around the houses' to get the best service to you. We are not really interested anymore in finding remote accounts and doing the same as we were, but if you have your own Parcelforce account with a lower rate and you want to automate your websites backend operations with it, or even your ebay account, please do not hesitate to contact us.
