Delivery options for sending an item

Someone has sent you this page because they would like to pay the courier directly and send you the label, QR code, barcode, or booking link.

What to tell them

They need practical delivery details, not money.

Before they buy postage, send the details that affect which courier service will work.

which courier, shop, locker, parcel box, Post Office, or collection point is easiest or nearest for you
parcel size and weight once the item is safely packaged
whether you can print a label at home
whether a QR code, barcode, or print-in-store label would be easier
whether you need home collection instead of drop-off

Delivery services to consider

These links are here so you can check what is convenient for you. The person receiving the item will usually buy the postage after you choose.

InPost Locker or Shop

Useful when you can reach an InPost point and the Searcher wants locker, shop, or home delivery.

Read the courier page

InPost lets postage buyers create a digital label or QR code.
The parcel can go from an InPost point to another locker or shop, or to a home address.
Yodel by InPost will move fully under the InPost brand on 17 July 2026, bringing home, locker and shop deliveries and collections under one brand. Check InPost for the current options available for the parcel and postcodes.
Good when neither person wants to arrange a doorstep collection.

Evri ParcelShop or Locker

Useful when an Evri ParcelShop or Locker is closest, or when print-in-store is easiest.

Read the courier page

Evri supports online booking and QR codes for print-in-store or locker label printing on many services.
The Searcher may ask for your preferred ParcelShop, Locker, and whether you need a printed label.
Check the exact service before travelling, especially if the parcel is large or heavy.

Royal Mail, Post Office, Parcelshop, Parcel Locker, or Delivery Office

Useful because Royal Mail has one of the most familiar UK drop-off networks.

Read the courier page

Royal Mail Click & Drop can create labels and Labels to Go QR codes for many personal shipments.
A Labels to Go QR code can be taken to participating drop-off points so the label can be printed there.
Check the label and address details carefully, including any sender return-address requirements.

DHL eCommerce UK ServicePoint

Useful when a DHL ServicePoint is nearby, or when other options are awkward for the parcel size.

Read the courier page

DHL eCommerce UK can be a practical backup for some parcel sizes and locations.
The Searcher may need to know whether drop-off or collection is easier for you.
Check the nearest ServicePoint before choosing this route.

Parcel2Go comparison

Useful when none of the obvious courier options fit and you need to compare services.

Read the courier page

A comparison site can help find drop-off points, label-free options, or collection services.
The Searcher should still check the final courier service before paying.
Do not choose an option only because it is cheapest if it makes drop-off or privacy harder.

How it usually works

1Read the options below and choose the one that is practical for you.
2Tell the Searcher the parcel size and weight, your preferred drop-off option, and whether you can print a label.
3Wait for the Searcher to buy postage and send you the QR code, barcode, label, or booking link.
4Package the item securely, attach or print the label as instructed, and drop it off.
5Send the tracking or receipt after drop-off so everyone can see the parcel is on its way.
