Will another DO keep a parcel for me?

Post by JP1 »

I've a parcel coming this week. At the minute Im staying at a friend's house, just opposite the DO but it isn't the one I work in. Im in a flat with a communal letterbox and even its P739d I wontbe around during the callers office opening time.

Do you think if i ring up or visit before i leave for work i could ask them to keep an eye out for it and keep it there?

Ring up the sender and ask for a delivery to the address where you are! If it's already in transit, wait for the 739 card, ring up the DO and ask them to re-deliver to the address you are staying at!

Its going to the address I'm staying at. The callers is 7 - 1. I leave at 6.30 for a 7 start. I work 6 days a week so I cant do a redelivery. If they'd allow it i'd prefer they just leave it there and i can collect it before I leave. Even the nearest post office for collection is ages away with inconvenient hours.

It would save my postman a bit of hasske too

If you have your RM uniform and ID then just go into the DO outside the callers hours and ask them?

Have it sent to a Post Office and pick it up at your leisure.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
