Royal Mail’s profitability will suffer this year as a result of its largest client Amazon launching its own delivery service called Amazon Logistics. Although the Royal Mail have exceeded its mail delivery quality targets and bulk delivery performance, Amazon Logistics is expected to wipe out as much as half of the growth in UK parcel volumes in the next two years.
Amazon have said it’s all about expanding the total capacity in the UK for fast delivery. Also it will be the most effective and manageable system when volumes rose sharply over the Christmas period which no one carrier can meet.
How long before we will see Amazon branded vehicles and uniforms for their delivery staff?
This along with an ever competitive and price sensitive market for parcel distribution, resulted in City Link going into administration over Christmas.
Yes Response use a diverse range of postal and parcel carriers to ensure we provide a cost effective, flexible and reliable service to our client’s customers.
