Streamline's parcel and home delivery fleet is a familiar sight across Orkney and Shetland, trusted by island residents as a dependable, friendly local service. Our fleet also includes electric vehicles as part of our ongoing carbon reduction efforts.

Whether you're expecting a small parcel or a larger household item, our team knows the islands, the ferry schedules and the local routes. Freight and parcels connect through our Aberdeen Freight Terminal before making the crossing, so your delivery arrives reliably, wherever you are.

Larger items, white goods & garden furniture delivery

Parcel Returns from Orkney and Shetland

Streamline handles parcel returns to the UK mainland when you arrange a return through your supplier. Once you've requested a return from your supplier or their courier and received a shipping label, the parcel can be dropped into one of 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. If presented with this option, please print the label at home. If you don't have a printer, you can email the label to your local depot and we'll print it for you.

Set Your Delivery Preferences

If you're 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 contact us for a 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.
