Can I.....

... Take all my pre-paid packages directly to the sorting office? :o

I've tried to call them & no one is picking up.

    As far as l know you have to go to the PO counter as each package needs to be weighed and checked. In a way it does defeat the object of using online pre-paid postage. Thats whats happened to each time.
  • I asked at my local sorting office about this. I got the impression that yes technically you can as long as it has the correct postage. But got the distinct impression they wouldnt be too happy doing it on a regular basis. So basically, yes you can but but dont because we cant be arsed dealing with them regularly

    Mine welcome me with open arms. I fill a bag of pre stamped items every day, run them round and hand the bag over with all my COPs and they empty the bag straight into the sorting bins.

    I accept them in our DO. As long as you don't want POP. Can't do that in ours, and always advise the customer of that fact.

    It sounds like they are all very different. Mine have a pad of COPs if you want to fill them out, but they told me to phone for several pads from the RM stationery department and they are very happy to stamp those for me.
