Help! Can you pay with credit card at the Post office?

Sorry to post a thread but have tried looking everywhere else and can't find this information.

I have a parcel to post, no cash and none in my bank account, joint account I don't know my pin.:rolleyes:

I would like to pay by credit card but have a vague memory of it being debit card only but this may have been for something specific like passports rather than parcels.

I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me this as this is a large parcel and I really don't want to drive pay for parking walk to PO and queue only to find I can't send and have to bring it back home.

Please help!

  • Yes, I always use my credit card to pay for parcels (cashback of course!)

    If you are paying for road tax you can only pay by debit card.
