Too busy to stay at home waiting for your shopping?
You can pick up your package from your local Lincolnshire Co-op Post Office with Local Collect. It's perfect for when a parcel's too big for your letterbox, or it needs to be signed for.
You have two options – one for online shopping, the other for missed deliveries.
The next time you order something online, check if the retailer gives
you the option to deliver your item direct to a Post Office branch
using Royal Mail's Local Collect service. There is no charge to pay on
collection at our branches.
Just bring proof of identity for the person the parcel is addressed to and a copy of the tracking ID.
Acceptable forms of identification include:
For minors under the age of 18 one of the following (originals not
copies) will be acceptable identification if they are unable to provide
one of the listed identifications set out above:
If you miss your delivery because you're out and about, you'll receive a 'Something for You' card from Royal Mail or Parcelforce Worldwide letting you know they tried to deliver your post.
Visit the website or call the number listed on the card and you'll be able to arrange to collect your item from a Post Office branch. For items delivered by Royal Mail there is a charge for this service.
You'll need to wait until midday at least 24 hours after you received the card – then you'll be able to pick up the parcel.
When you come to pick it up, remember to bring proof of identity for the person the parcel is addressed to and proof of address – like a utility bill or a letter from the council.
