Can you pick up royal mail parcel without card
According to Royal Mail's policies, you can pick up a parcel without a card in certain circumstances. Here are the details:
- Signature on delivery: If you've chosen the "Signature on delivery" option when sending the parcel, the recipient can collect the parcel from a Royal Mail Delivery Office without a card. They'll need to provide a valid form of identification and sign for the parcel.
- Collection from a Royal Mail Delivery Office: If the parcel is being held at a Royal Mail Delivery Office, the recipient can collect it without a card. They'll need to provide a valid form of identification and proof of address.
- Collection from a Post Office: If the parcel is being held at a Post Office, the recipient can collect it without a card. They'll need to provide a valid form of identification and proof of address.
However, there are some exceptions and additional requirements:
- Parcels with a value over £500: For parcels with a value over £500, the recipient may need to provide additional identification, such as a passport or driving license, to collect the parcel.
- Parcels with special handling requirements: If the parcel has special handling requirements, such as refrigeration or signature on delivery, the recipient may need to provide additional information or documentation to collect the parcel.
- Parcels that are being held due to non-delivery: If the parcel is being held due to non-delivery, the recipient may need to provide additional information or proof of address to collect the parcel.
It's always a good idea to check with the Royal Mail Delivery Office or Post Office where the parcel is being held to confirm their specific requirements and procedures for collecting a parcel without a card.
