The Post Office is opening up new opportunities for parcel customers as it offers the option of sending packages using DPD and Evri by buying parcel postage in-branch.
For the first time in its 360-year history, customers will be able to choose other parcel carriers over the counter in Post Office branches, as well as The Royal Mail Group.
The new buy-in-branch parcel service will begin in selected branches in time for the peak Christmas delivery season, complementing the recent launch of Parcels Online which enables customers to compare and purchase postage online for drop-off in Post Offices.
In chosen branches, Post Office customers will be able to walk up to a counter and choose to send their parcels with DPD or Evri, in addition to existing services, so they can choose the delivery carrier which best suits their needs.
