One connection that stays current

UK carriers change rates, label formats, and rules all year. The work of keeping up sits with us.

Maintained for you

When Royal Mail changes its prices or a UK carrier updates a label format, nShift absorbs it. We maintain 10,000+ active carrier services, so the change lands automatically with no technical effort on your side.

One secure interface

Carriers trust nShift with direct API access. With nShift Ship, one API reaches more than 150 of the carriers that pick up in the UK, instead of a separate integration for every one.

One source of truth

nShift unifies booking, labels, and tracking data across every UK carrier you run, from Royal Mail to DPD to InPost, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.

Match the carrier to the promise you make at checkout

A next-day guarantee and a locker drop-off need very different carriers behind them. The UK network covers both, and everything in between, grouped here by the kind of delivery you sell.

Find the right carrier mix

Letterbox delivery
When the parcel fits through the letterbox, nobody waits in and nothing needs redelivering. Harvey Nichols moved 20 to 30 percent of its parcel volume onto a letterbox service through nShift and paid back its project costs in under six months.

Next-day and timed
DPD UK delivers by 10:30 or 12:00, APC Overnight runs timed next-day services, and DX delivers before 9:00 when the order calls for it.

Lockers and pickup points
InPost lockers and Collect+ stores let customers collect when it suits them. Worldwide, nShift connects more than 70 pickup and drop-off networks with over 1.2 million locations.

Premium and secure
Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed lands by 9am or 1pm with insurance up to £2,500. DX adds mandatory-signature services for parcels that need a name at the door.

Pallets and bulky items
Pall-Ex and Palletways move palletized freight across the UK and Europe. DX runs two-man delivery for items one pair of hands cannot manage.

Real results from UK brands

nShift is the right fit for our business, as they are agile and able to respond to our brand’s ever-changing business needs, and provide a stable and scalable solution with access to the carriers that we want to work with.

Gordon Knox

Business Transformation and Logistics Director, Superdry

The payback from the initial project costs was less than six months. And with approximately 20-30% of our parcel volume now via the new letterbox service, we have seen substantial savings that wouldn’t have been possible [without nShift].

James Henry

Head of Multichannel Operations, Harvey Nichols

nShift has significantly improved our post-purchase experience which has reduced calls to our customer service team, improved our brand perception and boosted our bottom line.

Haroun Saleemi

Head of e-commerce, QUIZ
