Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 2 Nov, 12:04 · Archive

Royal Mail will collect parcels from your doorstep for 30p instead of requiring a trip to the Post Office.

Royal Mail offers customers a collection service for 30p per parcel, allowing items to be picked up from a doorstep or nominated safe place instead of requiring a trip to the Post Office. Customers who regularly send parcels through services such as Vinted or Depop, or who send items to friends and family, may find this particularly useful for avoiding long queues.

To use the service, customers must pay for postage via the Royal Mail website or app and add a collection charge of 30p per parcel. Royal Mail's standard postage costs range from £2.70 to £3.25 for small parcels sent by Second Class to £30 for larger packages or next-day Special Delivery. The collection option is described as particularly beneficial for those sending bulky items, multiple parcels at once, or those with difficulty accessing a Post Office.
