How the Small Parcel Streaming Gauge helps delivery speed

What is parcel streaming?

Parcel streaming is often called processing – it’s the ways in which a parcel is sorted and processed through our delivery network.

What is a Small Parcel Streaming Gauge?

A Small Parcel Streaming Gauge is a simple device used to check the size of each parcel, making sure small parcels are separated from large parcels.

The gauge includes a hole the size of a small parcel, and any parcels that fit through this opening can be streamed (or processed) through the Small Parcel Processing and Delivery Stream.

Why use a Small Parcel Streaming Gauge?

The gauge is designed to help with parcel sortation, so parcels don’t exceed the maximum size dimensions for the service you’re using. Small and large parcels each need to be sent to the correct processing facility, so they can be delivered quickly and efficiently to your customers.

What happens if a small parcel goes to a large parcel facility?

If a small parcel goes to a large parcel facility, it then needs to be transported to the correct processing facility. This can lead to delivery delays.
