Can someone else collect my parcel from royal mail

According to Royal Mail's policies, you can authorize someone else to collect your parcel on your behalf. Here are the steps:

  1. Sign up for Royal Mail's online account: If you haven't already, create an account on Royal Mail's website. This will allow you to manage your parcels and make changes to your delivery preferences.
  2. Add an alternative delivery address: Log in to your Royal Mail account and go to the "My Account" section. Click on "Delivery Options" and then "Add an alternative delivery address". Enter the name and address of the person you want to authorize to collect your parcel.
  3. Authorize the alternative delivery address: Once you've added the alternative delivery address, you'll need to authorize it. You can do this by clicking on the "Authorize" button next to the address.
  4. Notify Royal Mail: If you're not going to be available to collect your parcel, you can notify Royal Mail by contacting their customer service team. They'll need to know the tracking number of your parcel and the name of the person authorized to collect it.
  5. Present identification: When the authorized person collects the parcel, they'll need to present a valid form of identification (such as a passport, driving license, or ID card) to the Royal Mail delivery office.

Please note that Royal Mail may require additional information or verification before allowing someone else to collect your parcel. It's also important to ensure that the authorized person is aware of the parcel's contents and value, in case they need to sign for it.

Remember to always keep your Royal Mail account up to date and secure, as unauthorized access to your account could compromise the security of your parcels.
