What does multi-drop mean on a Yodel round?
Learn what multi-drop means for your Yodel round and how stop density affects your daily delivery earnings.
Last checked 17/10/2026.
Multi-drop is the standard way parcel couriers work. Instead of driving across town for one drop, your van or car is loaded with dozens of packages for a specific local area. You work through the list stop by stop.
On a Yodel round, high stop density means more drops are packed into a smaller street area. Short distances between houses save fuel and time. Spaced-out rural drops take longer per parcel.
