Well so goes the theory โฆ.. ๐ But what I found was you need a barcode or one of those square wiggly things (QR code?) - the app didnโt produce one of those (maybe because I am using it on an ipad?) so the parcel shop couldnโt help me. I then had to request a label be sent to me, via the app which took quite a while, and then I have had several late work nights before I could drop the parcel off ๐คทโโ๏ธSouth_coast said:Just checking you know you can print the WBB label at the parcel shop, so all you need to do in advance is pack up the box?
