Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

I’ve said no. I’d rather drop it off somewhere than trying to listen out for someone coming when I’m working from home, in video meetings or on the phone. 

It’s just less hassle to walk to the parcel postbox.

I like the idea of dropping parcels off in a parcel postbox, wish I had one near.

I am in favour of the collection idea .
It can be left in a safe place for the postman if need be .
So much better than queuing at the post office , walking in the rain etc ,which I often have to do .
No parcel post box is available to me within walking distance .

I have said no because our postal service is so erratic and I would be worried that I wouldn't be able to leave the parcel to be collected on the allocated date.

I don’t have a safe place.

I've said no to the parcel collect idea as I don't have a safe place if I'm out. Also, my local Post Office staff have said that they get a lot of customers coming in to drop off their parcels as the collection didn't happen when it was arranged to. I don't have a nearby Parcel post box but the Post Office is in walking distance.

I would only use collection if I was an ebay seller doing some volume. Not going to hang around for a collection that might not happen.

Initially, I’ve said yes. I’m at home all day so it would be better especially in the Winter months. My only concern is remaining anonymous when the post office is collecting Spectos parcels directly from me on a regular basis.

Exactly. He could be delivering and collecting very similar parcels at the same time.

 I think it’s pretty obvious to most posties already whether you are on the panel or not.
Mine recognises the Spectos parcels and knowsI don’t mind them being left in the porch, but I raise merry hell if anything else gets dumped in there.
