    I thought you could get any size parcels if you picked them up from an amazon counter or Argos?

    The sets of Amazon lockers I've seen seem to have various sizes. Don't know about Argos, but I know they do pickup to Sainsburys so that's worth exploring too. I haven't been impressed by any of the other 'couriers' I've chosen to pick up from - generally it's a random pile of parcels and it helps if you know what size you're looking for!

    Argos and Amazon are competitors, so Argos don't do click&collect for Amazon.
    They do click&collect for eBay. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of?

    Collection from Amazon counter is limited to items below size and weight limits.
    Amazon say Local Collect points accept items up to 40cm x 30cm x 20cm with a maximum weight of 15kg for orders sent by Standard Pickup, and 5kg for orders sent by One-Day Pickup.
