P O Box Charges

Post by Terryk »

I know there has been a lot of talk about the rise in P O Box charges. I have an application form and I'm not clear what the fee is for the box plus delivery.

Reading the form it could be £200 or £370 (£170+£200). I've tried calling customer services a couple of times but got stuck in a queue which as we are for waiting the phones and I have to call 0845 on a mobile is expensive.

Also can anyone confirm which delivery office covers SN1 2**? Some lists say Dorcan others Swindon West.

Thanks for the speedy reply. The form makes it look like the additional charge for delivery is £200. I knew it had gone up so it could have been possible!

SN1 2** will in theory be Hawksworth DO, unless you are on a trading estate or one or two other roads in which case it'll be Dorcan DO.

I think SN1 1-- is Dorcan, while SNI 2--, SN1 3--, SN1 4-- and SN1 5-- can be either Dorcan or Hawksworth.
