Do you think Post Offices have enough room to accommodate sooooo many parcels ? I have seen some Post Offices are very small and tiny .

Also just read that you need 'Prime' to get this option free, otherwise you pay a premium to have it delivered to a Post office.

Will MCs be sending the stuff straight to the relevant POs or will they go via DOs?

Available now it seems, I looked on their website, and it's on the payment/delivery page.
Enter your required pick up location (Royal Mail Local Collect)
Enter your postcode and it will list any available PO near to you to choose from.

They've also gone live with timed delivery slots, had the option available when ordering something the other day (don't know if it's Prime only though)

Why aren't RM doing something revolutionary, like pushing for "office hours" workers to get their parcels and signature items delivered to their work address?
I do a firms delivery , this happens already
