Sending Parcelforce parcel. Can I drop it at the RM Sorting Office in town?

As per the title really. It would save me waiting in all day if I could drop it at the Sorting Office. Does anyone know?

Thanks

  • I dont think so. I know my local office doesnt offer this service.

    Have you never considered collect + ?

    You simply drop off at your nearest point and the buyer collects from their nearest point - saves everyone waiting in all day for collections/deliveries. I use it a lot - i offer it as an option on my auctions and people love it as they can collect on way home from work etc

    Plus, for larger items it works out cheaper.

    I've sent loads of parcels, all i do is leave it on a stool in the garage, and a sign taped to the front door saying "attn of parcelforce/hdnl etc, please collect parcel from garage"..
    Probably not the best idea if its high value, but ive never had trouble with it :)

    they always post the collection note through the door for me, jobs'a good'un
    Almost..debt free.. :P:money:

    Thanks for the replies. Parcelforce man came and Parcelbee has messed up the customs invoices so I had to redo them so he told me to drop it at the PO. They did faff around with it so I would not do it again though!! I usually only have to go to the school but handy to know I can leave it somewhere.
