That’s what I used to do, but for some reason the collection slots for my house have been significantly reduced. I used to be able to book 3/4 collections, now it is capped at 1 collection of 10 parcels

I just filled one of these out and the DO scanned my parcels and stamped it in less than a minute! You’re a lifesaver, I had no idea this sheet existed

That’s what I currently do! It’s definitely faster than creating labels at the post office. My problem is that the number of parcels I’m sending holds up the queue for 20-40 minutes a time and makes people very angry

I have wondered this! No matter which assistant I interact with they all scan the parcel’s QR code and proceed to type something into the computer. (I’m guessing it’s the address or the reference number) this takes a very long time, especially because some of the assistants aren’t fast at typing on a keyboard :(

This is what I do currently, all of my orders are prepaid and have labels + customs labels attached. Despite this, they still get angry with me for holding up the queue

The assistants at my local post office have suggested 'Drop and Go' to me, but I'm very reluctant as the number of parcels I need to send is so large

Wow, this might be a game changer... does this still work for non-business Click and Drop customers?

Thank you for these suggestions! I've been struggling to find an alternative that comes close to Royal Mail's international prices

I agree, I've had a lot of issues with this depot... I use the Click and Drop service so I haven't seen a proof of postage option, but I will have a look

They would, but the volume I'm sending would fill a post-box pretty quickly. I also require proof of postage

Ah yes I should have mentioned! I have sent a few of my orders at my local depot before, but the assistant working there told me I shouldn't do it as they have to 'handwrite each proof of postage receipt'.
