Hi Custardy, yes, I do mean Post Office.

We have one nearby in Bosham, West Sussex, inside a Co-Operative store. We pass by it regularly so we rarely have to make a special trip. There is usually not much of a queue.

The main PO in Chichester closed down a few years ago and the services were moved around the corner, again inside another store, this time Sussex Stationers Book Shop. I don't use that but I am told the queues are usually long and slow moving as it is the only PO in the centre of the city.

No idea if its local. however as an example. Look at the opening hours here.
Must be a large unit with these hours

RM delivery offices are under utilised by many who default to POs for returns.

I sent a Hermes parcel recently using QR to print the label at the shop, I'm sure there was a reference number provided in case the QR was unreadable.  Do amazon provide anything similar?

Thanks Custardy. Yes, I know that Delivery Office. However it is on the far side of the City to where we live so not an ideal option for us.

I have been there a couple of times many years ago to collect a parcel after a needing a signature failed home delivery when we were out but I normally now just use the internet to rebook a failed delivery.

Perhaps they do if you ask but all I got was a QR code.

OP Amazon do provide a printable label, I've spoken to them on chat before and they have sorted out a printable label so give that a go if you cant get the option to print a label to come up.

They'll pretty much provide any option possible, covering all variations of customer. For some you may have to ask via live chat or call.
I usually get them to have Hermes pick up. If, as can happen, Hermes don't turn up they've been known to send DPD instead.
