What Is Multi-Drop Delivery (and How Does It Save You Money)?
If you're sending goods to several addresses, paying for separate deliveries quickly adds up. Multi-drop delivery solves that by combining multiple stops into a single, optimised run.
How multi-drop works
One vehicle is loaded with consignments for several destinations, then routed so the stops fall in the most efficient order. Instead of paying a base fee and mileage for each delivery, you share the cost of one well-planned journey across all of them.
Who benefits most
- Retailers replenishing several stores from one depot.
- Wholesalers and distributors serving multiple trade customers.
- Event and hospitality suppliers dropping at many venues.
- Anyone sending goods to a cluster of addresses in one region.
Why it's cheaper
Distribution cost is dominated by vehicle time and mileage. By sequencing drops to minimise total distance and backtracking, multi-drop spreads those fixed costs over many deliveries — lowering the cost per drop while keeping each one on schedule, with proof of delivery at every stop.
Getting the most from a multi-drop run
Group deliveries by region and day where you can, share accurate addresses and access notes up front, and give us realistic delivery windows. The tighter the brief, the more efficiently we can plan the route — and the more you save.
