UK - The DSA Conundrum
In the UK, Downstream Access (DSA) refers to a postal service model where third-party providers collect, sort, and transport mail to Royal Mail's regional hubs for final delivery. This system facilitates discounts by outsourcing downstream operations while Royal Mail handles the "final mile" delivery.
The conundrum comes in selecting the right partner for the right project - and it’s not always black or white. Sometimes not accessing DSA yields rewards.
