Convenient sending options

When you book a parcel online, you can choose from three ways to dispatch your parcel:

• Book a collection from your home or work address - great for when you’re too busy to drop it off at one of our depots.

• Drop your parcel off at a Post Office^® branch. Perfect if you can’t wait in for a collection. You’ll save a couple of quid too.

• Drop your parcel off at a Parcelforce Worldwide depot. If you’ve left it late to send your parcel, you’ll be pleased to know that our depots will be accepting next-day deliveries in time for Christmas right up until 7pm on December 23rd. Choose this option and you’ll also benefit from savings up to £2.50.
