APC Overnight is a leading UK pallet and parcel delivery network specializing in next-day B2B deliveries. APC Overnight tracking provides real-time visibility into your shipment's journey from collection through sorting facilities to final delivery. Whether you're shipping business-critical documents, products to trade customers, or bulk orders, APC tracking ensures you know exactly where your parcels are and when they'll arrive.
APC Overnight operates through a network of over 120 independently-owned distribution depots across the UK, ensuring comprehensive coverage from the Scottish Highlands to Cornwall.

With a 99.5% next-day success rate, APC Overnight is trusted by thousands of businesses for reliable delivery with full track and trace capability.
APC Overnight tracking numbers typically consist of alphanumeric codes varying in length depending on the service used. Standard APC tracking numbers are often 10-15 characters combining letters and numbers (e.g., APC123456789 or APCUK12345678901). You'll receive your APC tracking number on your shipping receipt, consignment note, or via email confirmation from the sender. Keep this number safe as it's essential for tracking your delivery and proving receipt.
Understanding your APC tracking status helps you anticipate delivery timing and manage customer expectations. Here's what each APC status means.
APC Overnight offers time-definite delivery services for business-critical shipments. Standard APC Overnight service delivers by 6pm the next working day. Premium services include APC 10:30 (delivery by 10:30am), APC 12:00 (delivery by 12 noon), and APC Saturday for weekend deliveries. All services include online tracking and proof of delivery. Collection cutoff times vary by depot but typically range from 5pm to 7pm for next-day service.
APC operates a dedicated pallet network for larger shipments. APC Pallet tracking works the same way as parcel tracking - enter your tracking number to monitor your pallet's journey. Pallet deliveries typically include tail-lift facilities and require adequate access for delivery vehicles. Track your pallet shipments to ensure recipients are ready for delivery and have appropriate unloading facilities available.
If APC tracking shows a delivery exception or delayed status, first check the tracking notes for specific reasons. Common issues include incorrect addresses (verify with sender), recipient premises closed (ensure reception open during delivery hours), or access problems (provide detailed delivery instructions). Contact your local APC depot directly - depot phone numbers are on consignment notes - for fastest resolution. For missing parcels, APC requires proof of delivery investigation requests through the sender or depot.
Enter your APC tracking number (typically 10-15 alphanumeric characters) on the APC Overnight website, your local depot's tracking page, or our Universal Tracking platform. You'll see real-time status updates from collection through to delivery with proof of delivery details.
Standard APC Overnight delivers by 6pm the next working day. Premium services deliver by 10:30am (APC 10:30) or 12 noon (APC 12:00). Delivery times depend on the service level selected by the sender. Most deliveries occur during business hours Monday to Friday.
APC Overnight primarily serves business-to-business deliveries. However, some APC depots deliver to residential addresses depending on their service area. Home deliveries may be subject to additional charges or longer delivery times. Check with the sender about residential delivery options.
Contact details for your local APC depot are printed on consignment notes. You can also find depot contact information on the APC Overnight website by entering your postcode. For delivery queries, tracking issues, or collection arrangements, contacting your local depot directly is the fastest route to resolution.
Delivery redirection depends on your local depot's policies. Contact the depot directly (number on consignment note) before the parcel goes out for delivery. Some depots allow address changes or collection from depot. Redirection may incur additional charges.
APC Overnight provides compensation up to £20 per kg (typically £100 per parcel maximum) for lost or damaged items unless higher cover was purchased. Claims must be submitted within specific timeframes with proof of value. Contact the sender or local depot to initiate a claim.
APC offers Saturday delivery as a premium service (APC Saturday). This must be selected at booking and incurs additional charges. Standard APC Overnight service operates Monday to Friday only. Check your service level in the tracking details.
APC maintains proof of delivery records including delivery time, recipient name, and signature. Access POD through tracking or by contacting your local depot. Records are typically available for several months after delivery for dispute resolution purposes.
