How do I use 'Local Collect'?

[coolhands]

This may sound silly but I've signed up for and purchased 250 local collect lables for my business. But how do I get the parcel to the local postoffice that my customer wants? If I put his (home) address on the parcel, and this sticker, how do I get it to go to one that is not the one closest to his actual house? There are no instructions on the royal mail website at all, and I never got a promised email list of 'participating' local collect post offices? I presume they will all accept them I can't see one refusing? Bit of a risk though for me.

Any help?
thanks

ok well to answer my own question for any future searches, I found it buried deep within a pdf file I've underlined the pertinent bit. So the customers own address doesn't go on the label.

When your customer selects the Local Collect BusinessTM option and indicates
which Post Office® branch they want the parcel delivered to, you need to:
• Put the Post Office® branch address on the parcel together with the name
of the customer
• Apply a Local Collect BusinessTM label
• Despatch the Local Collect BusinessTM parcels with your other Royal Mail
Tracked® parcels. They then travel through the normal Royal Mail network,
and the Local Collect BusinessTM parcels are delivered to the Post Office®
branch as addressed on the parcel

Here is the link for the pdf although it is from 19 Aug 2010 I have to assume it's the same method used now. Great Royal Mail, eh?!

According to this you are 'emailed a list weekly'?
