About
APC Overnight, originally the Alternative Parcels Company, is a UK parcel delivery network with a broad business customer base. It's known for timed deliveries, specialist handling, and local depot coverage linked through a national sortation centre at Kingswood Lakeside.
Running APC Overnight through ShipStation keeps orders, services, and each shipping label in one workspace instead of separate carrier screens. You can move from a standard service to a timed delivery option without rekeying order data.
That gives your team more control over the shipping process when overnight customers expect on-time delivery. Use your own APC account, keep tracking tied to every order, and manage APC alongside other carriers while staying connected to a delivery network built for one million parcels.
