Royal mail collect from delivery office
A common question!
If you're expecting a parcel or package from Royal Mail, but it's not being delivered to your doorstep, it's possible that it's being held at a Royal Mail Delivery Office for collection.
Here are some possible reasons why your parcel might be held at a Royal Mail Delivery Office:
- Incorrect address: If the address on the parcel is incorrect or incomplete, it may be held at the Delivery Office for you to collect.
- Signature required: If the parcel requires a signature upon delivery, and no one is available to sign for it, it may be held at the Delivery Office for you to collect.
- Special delivery: Some parcels, such as those with special handling requirements or high-value items, may be held at the Delivery Office for you to collect.
To collect your parcel from a Royal Mail Delivery Office, you'll need to:
- Check the tracking: Use the tracking number provided by Royal Mail to check the status of your parcel. If it's being held at a Delivery Office, you'll see a message indicating this.
- Find your nearest Delivery Office: Use Royal Mail's online tool to find your nearest Delivery Office. You can enter your postcode or location to find the nearest office.
- Take identification: Make sure to take some form of identification, such as a passport or driving license, to prove your identity when collecting your parcel.
