Nowadays, there are many shipping options, and the greatest challenge is knowing which one is best fit for your industry, your goods, and your shipment. Multi drop parcel delivery is quite popular among businesses shipping several shipments at the same time.
For many businesses, it is rather time-consuming to dispatch several parcels per day and to receive different couriers for every shipment throughout the day. Here is when the multi-drop deliveries come to importance.
What is multi-drop delivery, put in simplest words, is when only one courier collects the parcels from one location to deliver them to several separate addresses. Assuming you are a company selling some specific goods, you will avoid going to a post office or anywhere else to dispatch multiple parcels. Instead, one driver will come and collect the goods at once. Once the goods are collected, they will be delivered to their end destinations. The driver predefines the on all other bookings.

In general, although not as a rule, multi-drop couriers recommend this service for businesses shipping 10+ shipments at once. However, this may vary, as not every parcel is of the same size.
On the other hand, if you opt for our direct van delivery, you can even send less than 10+ shipments.
