Parcelforce labels via paypal

This is my first time of doing this so I thought I should check. Bought a Parcelforce label via paypal and opted for courier collection tomorrow - I've printed out my label for the box as well as a receipt form that driver needs to stamp. Really daft question time- is that it or do I somehow need to book the collection?

It looks as though buying the label triggers the collection- and I can't see anywhere else to actually book the collection, but it seems a bit easy and I'm sure I must have missed something.

This was a collection only item but where I put a high postage cost to get round the issue of someone using paypal and collecting- and of course someone has actually bought it and paid for it to be delivered- hence using Parcelforce as it is large and unwieldy and expensive and I have so much postage money I didn't have to risk MyHermes. I've got compensation (and item is covered according to the Parcelforce site) tracking and collection.

    Apologies but I think I've answered my own question. I've just had email confirmation of my label purchase and it says:

    If you've chosen to have your item collected, a Parcelforce Worldwide collection driver will collect from the address you specified on your chosen collection date.

    On the posting date you entered, we’ll email your buyer with the tracking information.
