Can any one explain this to me.
I’ll try keep.it brief.
I collect a lot from a place that that sells bedding towels etc. Online
We do pallet loads to shops eyc.
Anyware there last night waiting.
Dpd turned up collected maybe 60 Packages.
Then tuffnelss turned up collected about same
. Then tnt turned up collected a load .
Then parcel. Force appeared collected about 10 cages of packages.
Why do.companys use so.many firms.?
If it’s money why not just use cheapest?
Different areas, different rates, might depend on capacity of van. Had the same with United Carriers. Tuffnell. Rainbow and Wilkinson followed me into most places. This was the start of Next Day, before 10 and before 12 services
Like international packages UPS was cheaper for USA but TNT was cheaper for Europe China etc

It can also be contracts for the retailer who buys the stuff .
Some companies have parcel companies that do the distribution for them .
Many online retailers do not hold stock but purchase directly from the manufacturer, distributor or importer who makes up the individual orders and the parcel company has a contract to deliver them direct to the company .
You do see the service of contract parcel delivery offered by all the major parcel companies .
These are done at negotiated trade rates .
