Royal Mail has enhanced its popular Parcel Collect service before Christmas, and postmen will provide pre-printed postage labels to customers who need them.
This allows customers without printers to feel the benefits of Parcel Collect, that is, the postman collects packages for delivery when performing delivery tasks.
The plan to provide pre-printed labels also aims to bring more convenience to customers who are getting tighter and may not want to leave home to deliver packages or wait in line—especially in the cold winter. As the holiday season approaches, it is expected to become one of the most convenient ways to send gifts this Christmas.
Under Parcel Collect, customers will arrange for their postman to pick up their parcels from their door. Customers using this service only need to book a collection online (https://www.royalmail.com/collection), and then indicate whether they are willing to order a self-adhesive pre-printed postage label to be affixed to their package. As part of the service, the postman and the female postman will collect the package from the customer’s door or designated safe location.
Through Parcel Collect, Royal Mail collects at the door of customers as part of our postman and lady’s daily turnover, which means there are no additional vehicles on the road, thereby reducing additional emissions and congestion. With the largest “Feet on the Street” network in the UK, with more than 85,000 postmen and postmen, Royal Mail has reported the lowest carbon dioxide emissions per package among the major express companies in the UK.
Parcel Collect not only provides a higher level of convenience, it also enables online sellers and online shoppers to mail or return prepaid items from the comfort of their homes. Parcel Collect provides services 6 days a week, up to 5 days in advance, and up to midnight the day before. The current price of Parcel Collect is 60 pence per piece, including VAT and postage.
Royal Mail Chief Commercial Officer Nick Langdon said: “Every day, our postmen pass through every house in this country at almost the same time. People know when their postmen will deliver the goods, and now they can send or return packages at the same time. If people They don’t plan to go in. They can put their belongings in a safe place and let our postman pick it up. Now if they don’t have a printer at home, they can let the postman carry the label with them. How convenient it is! As night falls, The weather gets worse, why go out when you can stay safe and warm and hand your hard work to a friendly local postman. Even better, many of our deliveries and collections are done by patrolling postmen ——This is the most environmentally friendly way to send and return.
After trialing the service in four locations in the UK earlier this year, the label-free series was launched nationwide.
