    I’ve started looking into the nearest collection points near me too. However I don’t have photo ID so not sure what else they would accept when collecting.

    I don't know if they would accept it, but ... do you have any apps with your name and address registered? (e.g. Banking app, Energy supplier app - both of those show my name and address, for me).

    Hermes couriers are self employed and paid a pittance for each parcel delivered. hence they do want to deivier one parcel to an area.
    Our Hermes delivery was once a week so parcels would lie  at the depot until the next delivery day whi h could be 7 days away.
