Bulk parcel sending: when to switch to a dedicated driver
Networks beat drivers up to a point. Here is roughly where the break-even sits.
Single-drop vs multi-drop
Networks excel at single parcels. Dedicated drivers win when you have 5+ parcels going to the same area, or 1 oversized item.
The maths
10 small parcels to one borough: ~£35–£45 via Evri. Dedicated driver: ~£35–£60 with door-to-door delivery and one consolidated invoice.
When to use both
Most growing shops use networks for retail and dedicated drivers for B2B, wholesale or VIP same-day.
FAQ
What is multi-drop delivery?
One driver delivers many parcels on a single optimised route. Usually 30–80 stops per shift.
Is dedicated driver insurance better?
Usually yes — Wayspost includes £10k goods-in-transit cover by default.
