Default Getting stuff delivered to local post office or similar???

So I'm constantly buying off eBay but keep missing delivers,
Is there some way of getting stuff delivered to my local post office and just collect direct from there?

Or some form of delivery locker?

I've had a brief look at this but not really 100% sure what's out there


Thanks joe

Most eBay items can be delivered to your local Argos store for you to collect there.

It's a major pain in the ****! When I used to run my own business and have to wait on couriers turning up to collect parcels you could guarantee the minute I walked out the house they'd be there.
There's a parcel service running at tonnes of newsagents now. Can't remember what it's called but they have lockers. You can also drop things off with them after paying online.

I had my mail kept by the post office once when I was away on a holiday for a month. I think they charged me about 21 quid to keep my mail, and then delivered it on a later date of my choice. So, I reckon Royal Mail may have a service of the sort when they could keep your items, but you may have to pay for the service. Worth checking out their website.

Therein lies the problem - it all depends on who is sending the goods!

Lots of options - if they decide to use them.
