Can you choose to pick up royal mail
Yes, you can choose to pick up your Royal Mail parcel at a Post Office branch or a Royal Mail Delivery Office. This is often referred to as "collecting from a Post Office" or "collecting from a Delivery Office".
Here's how it works:
- When you place an order online, you'll be given the option to choose a delivery method. Select "Collect from a Post Office" or "Collect from a Delivery Office" as your preferred delivery option.
- Once your parcel is ready for collection, you'll receive an email or text message with a unique collection code and instructions on how to collect your parcel.
- Take the collection code and a valid form of identification (such as a passport, driving license, or credit card) to the chosen Post Office or Delivery Office.
- Show the collection code and identification to the Post Office or Delivery Office staff, and they will hand over your parcel.
Some benefits of collecting your parcel from a Post Office or Delivery Office include:
- Convenience: You can collect your parcel at a time that suits you, without having to wait in for a delivery.
- Security: You can ensure that your parcel is delivered to you safely and securely.
- Flexibility: You can collect your parcel from a Post Office or Delivery Office that is convenient for you, even if it's not the nearest one to your home.
However, please note that not all Royal Mail services are available for collection from Post Offices or Delivery Offices. For example, Special Delivery Guaranteed and Signed For services may require a signature on delivery, so you may need to arrange an alternative delivery method for these services.
