Parcel and Home Delivery in Orkney and Shetland
Streamline is the main carrier of choice for parcel and home deliveries on the islands of Orkney and Shetland, providing specialised local support to individuals, businesses and UK delivery firms. With our Aberdeen Terminal serving as the main transit hub for cargo moving between Scotland and the Orkney and Shetland Islands, we have established ourselves as a trusted Aberdeen haulage company, combining decades of expertise with reliable delivery services.
Our vans are a familiar sight throughout the island communities, trusted as a symbol of quality and dependable deliveries. Streamline operates over 25 parcel vans in our island fleet, including electric vehicles as part of our ongoing carbon reduction efforts.
Small parcels and packages destined for the Orkney and Shetland can be delivered to our Aberdeen or Glasgow depots, where they begin the final leg of their journey. Our UK-wide transport network can also arrange regular scheduled collections from parcel operators or other suppliers, keeping Orkney and Shetland shipping efficient and consistent.
Streamline handles most parcel returns from Orkney and Shetland to the UK Mainland when you arrange a return through your supplier. Once you have requested a return from your supplier or their courier and they have provided a shipping label, the parcel can be dropped into our depots or you can contact us to arrange a collection.
Please note: all parcel returns must have a printed shipping label. QR Codes and Barcodes cannot be accepted at our depots, so if presented with the option, the shipping label should be printed at home. If you don't have a printer, you can email the label to your local depot and we will print it for you.
Update Your Delivery Preferences (Orkney and Shetland Only)
If you are not at home, Streamline can arrange to leave your parcel in a safe place or deliver to a trusted neighbour, unless a customer signature is required.
Please fill out this form which will allow you to specify your parcel delivery preferences.
The company you order from may also offer the option to indicate a safe place at the time of ordering.
Please note: this service is only available for residents of the Orkney and Shetland islands. The safe place ideally should be a weatherproof location which has easy access for our parcel delivery operator. Providing your delivery preference allows more parcels to be delivered safely on the first attempt, even when you are out.
