Royal mail parcel collection no printer

A common conundrum!

If you don't have a printer, you can still arrange for Royal Mail to collect your parcel. Here are a few options:

  1. Handwritten label: You can write the address label by hand using a pen and paper. Make sure to include the following information:
    • The recipient's name
    • The recipient's address (including house number, street, town, county, and postcode)
    • The weight and dimensions of the parcel
    • The parcel's contents (optional, but recommended for customs purposes)
  2. Royal Mail's online label service: You can use Royal Mail's online label service, which allows you to print a label without a printer. You'll need to:
    • Go to Royal Mail's website and sign in to your account (or create one if you don't have one)
    • Select the "Print a label" option
    • Enter the recipient's address and your parcel details
    • Pay for the postage online
    • Royal Mail will send you a unique QR code, which you can show to the collector
  3. Royal Mail's mobile app: Royal Mail has a mobile app that allows you to print a label using your mobile device's camera. You can:
    • Download the Royal Mail app from the App Store or Google Play
    • Sign in to your account (or create one if you don't have one)
    • Select the "Print a label" option
    • Enter the recipient's address and your parcel details
    • Pay for the postage using the app
    • Show the QR code to the collector
  4. Visit a Post Office: If you're unable to print a label or use the online service, you can visit a Post Office and ask them to print a label for you. They may charge a small fee for this service.

Remember to always check the Royal Mail website for the latest information on parcel collection and postage requirements.
