Multi-carrier shipping
Every carrier. One account. The right mix for every parcel.
We analyse how you actually ship — sizes, weights, destinations and what matters most to you — then build and automate the carrier mix that fits. One account, one bill, and we handle every carrier query so you don't have to.

Why a carrier mix
One carrier rarely fits everything you send.
Sticking with a single courier means every parcel — light or heavy, local or international, standard or high-value — goes through the same service, at the same rate, with the same limitations. A carrier mix means the right service gets chosen for the right parcel, automatically.
What we look at
- Collection postcode and typical daily volumes
- Parcel sizes, weights and packaging
- Domestic, international, or both
- What matters most to you — cost, speed, service level or cover for higher-value items
- Your current courier setup, if you have one
What comes out of it
A recommended combination of carrier services matched to how you actually ship — not a single default courier applied to everything.
We then configure shipping rules in your account so the right carrier and service are selected for each order automatically, without you or your team choosing manually every time.
How it works
From first enquiry to an automated account.
The process starts with the free shipping audit and ends with an account that's already doing the work for you.
Free shipping audit
Tell us about your shipments — postcode, volumes, sizes, weights, destinations and priorities. Sending a recent courier invoice is optional but helps; pricing information is treated confidentially.
We recommend a carrier mix
We recommend the most suitable combination of available carrier services for your requirements — no obligation to proceed.
We set up shipping rules
Once you're happy, we configure automation rules so the right carrier and service are selected for each order without manual intervention.
One account, one bill, ongoing support
You ship through a single TPS account across every carrier. We handle carrier queries on your behalf, and everything is billed together with a carrier breakdown.

One team, every carrier
We deal with the carriers. You deal with us.
Every customer has a dedicated support manager and direct access to our office and warehouse teams. Bring us any carrier query — a delay, a damaged parcel, a missing item — and we do the chasing, not you.
- You bring the issue to us rather than dealing with each carrier directly
- Where a claim is appropriate, we provide a claims pack explaining what evidence the carrier needs
- We submit the claim, follow it up, and let you know the outcome
- Successful claim amounts are credited against your next bill
- Claims are subject to the relevant carrier's terms — acceptance isn't guaranteed
Consolidated billing
One bill covers every carrier you use through TPS, with a full breakdown by carrier and service. No juggling separate accounts, invoices or logins for each courier.
One account, every service
Set up once, then ship through Royal Mail, Evri, DHL, DPD and the rest of your carrier mix from the same TPS account.
Collections
Business parcel collections across all NN postcodes.
Subject to parcel volume and an agreed collection schedule.
We can arrange regular collections from businesses in any NN postcode, consolidating your parcels into the relevant carrier networks for one consolidated bill. We agree the collection schedule with you around your parcel volumes. Higher-volume customers further afield can be assessed for bespoke or direct carrier collection arrangements.
Towns our own vans already serve, for example:
- Northampton
- Wellingborough
- Rushden
- Kettering
- Corby
Outside the NN postcodes?
For larger-volume customers outside the NN postcodes, we can look at arranging direct carrier collections through our network. All billing, support and account management remain with TPS. Get in touch to discuss.
Bespoke arrangements
Higher-volume operations often need something outside the standard setup — bespoke collection schedules, tailored carrier mixes or dedicated account handling. We assess these individually rather than forcing every customer through one template.
