Default Parcel collection ?


Do the Royal Mail (or anyone else) offer a service to collect things
from people's houses ?

I've a couple of monitors to shift, but getting them to the post office
is going to be a nightmare.

I believe this can be done where the recipient arranges things with the PO.
Or at least I did it a few years ago

Thanks but it's not really what I have in mind.

What I need is to phone someone up, and say "I'll give you some money if
you pick up a package at my place and deliver it somewhere else".

Book a collection


This is great, I didn't know about this.

Unfortunately the monitor is 32Kg, and they've a 30Kg weight restriction

i think TNT do, you pay the driver the money at the tiome of collection.

Might be worth giving your local citylink, interlink express, dhl, tnt,
depot a call one of them will do a cash collection for you.

That is mean! It's not flammable, and it's not poisonous, I mean, deep
sea divers breathe the stuff ;-)
