A shipping system for shipping packages involving the coordinated use of at least a first carrier and a second carrier. The shipping system includes physical delivery facilities for the physical delivery of packages, the physical delivery facilities including at least one transfer location at which the second carrier may take over delivery responsibilities for a package. The shipping system also includes an information system having a shipper computer system configured to record and determine whether the delivery address of a package is an efficient destination for the first carrier. If not an efficient destination, such as a delivery address having a rural zip code, the shipper computer system is configured to label the package for delivery to one of the transfer locations, allowing the first carrier to transfer the selected package to the second carrier for completion of the less efficient portion of the delivery.

L'invention concerne un système d'expédition destiné à expédier des colis et comprenant l'utilisation d'au moins un premier support et d'un second support. Ledit système d'expédition comprend des installations physiques de distribution permettant la distribution physique des colis, ces installations comprenant au moins un emplacement de transfert, sur lequel le second support peut prendre en charge la distribution des colis. Le système d'expédition comprend également un système d'informations présentant un système informatique expéditeur configuré pour enregistrer et déterminer si l'adresse de distribution du colis est une destination efficiente pour le premier support. Si la destination n'est pas efficiente, par exemple une adresse avec un code postal rural, le système informatique expéditeur est configuré pour marquer le colis, de façon à distribuer le colis sur un emplacement de transfert, ce qui permet au premier support de transférer le colis sélectionné vers le second support pour achever une partie moins efficiente de la distribution.
