Royal Mail starts parcel collection service

[Archer50]

Sounds useful, but I rely on my local sub post office for all sorts of things. If you use the collection service they will get no credit (obviously) and I am told that if you use any of the pre-paid services, whether PO, PF, the Bay or whatever, they get no credit either, as they are just acting a drop-off point. If a sub post office drops below a certain level of business, it is closed.

Everybody's circumstances are different, but if you've got a local sub-post office and value it, just remember - use it or lose it.
