What is Downstream Access?
Since the market re-regulated in 2004, TNT Post has been able to carry mail on behalf of organisations in competition with Royal Mail but need to use their postmen to deliver TNT Post mail to the 26 million households in the UK. This process is known as Down Stream Access or ‘final mile’ delivery.
TNT Post collects, sorts and processes your mail before delivering it directly to a Royal Mail Inward Mailing Centre for onward delivery to the household by their postmen.
Depending on the TNT Post service chosen, the time between collection and delivery will vary but all of our services are day definite and once your mailings are handed over to Royal Mail, 95% of deliveries are made the next day.
