Mail receiving business that will take in parcels?

I was wondering if anyoneknew of a parcel receiving business where they will take in parcels for you, sign for them and then you collect at a time that is more convenient to yourself.

I know Big Yellow Storage offer this if you have storage with them. I have stuff in storage a a little independant rather than a nationwide place but it is a long way away to get just one parcel and we do not go there that often.

I'll consider moving the goods I have in storage if it means I can get this service added on and the company is more local. Any ideas at all??

    Hi,

    The only one I know about is Mail Boxes Etc, if they have a branch near you

    Or a friendly neighbour...

    Thanks,

    I've found another that is MUCH cheaper for anyone else who might be looking. Just £1 a parcel!! You 'load' your account and if it has credit your parcel is delivered (I've 2 locally) and you put a number into a key pad to collect your parcel. It costs £1 a time!! http://www.parcelpark.com/customer/welcome.html

    Hope that helps someone else.
  • I think the Post Office will hold a parcel if delivered by RM.
