I recently discovered the online click and drop function.
Put in package weight, delivery address and value etc, print your label at home, pop down the PO get a stamp or receipt and job done, all for a few pence less than paying at the counter.
Until today ..... One parcel had several cars so the best option for cost and insurance cover was 48 hour track and trace, paid printed and off to the local PO I go.
"sorry sir, thats a tracked item we can't do that, nearest one is in the nearby town, so I look up address and go there ... "sorry sir .... you will have to go to the depot for that"
When I got to the depot no one was answering the customer desk buzzer and the door was locked
Luckily I went round the back and accosted a member of staff to sign the paperwork and put it in the collections box.
It is all part of the Post Office, all on the same website, why on earth can't any local PO do it
Next time I have to use that particular service, I am paying the 79p extra to get it picked up
