Pick-up at a Parcel Machine, or what are Mobile Parcel Machines?
12 November 2015
During the months of November and December, please pay very close attention to the messages we send you. This is because some of them may differ from those you have received from us so far. " Your parcel is waiting AT THE PARcel Machine " - Messages with such content mean that your parcel will be delivered to a so-called Mobile Parcel Machine. Is it necessary to be afraid? Not at all!
What is a Mobile Parcel Machine?
This is a solution that allows us to hand over your parcel even if the destination parcel machine is overcrowded, which can happen during this hectic festive period (i.e. when there is a shortage of free boxes). A mobile Parcel Machine is a courier who waits in a specially marked van parked near a 'regular' Parcel Machine. Such a courier issues parcels to recipients on the basis of data that enable the parcel to be collected at a traditional Parcel Post Office. When collecting the parcel, it is therefore necessary to enter the telephone number and the collection code, which we have previously sent by SMS/e-mail.
Picking up your parcel from a Mobile Parcel Machine is quick and just as easy as with a traditional Parcel Machine!
Where to look for Mobile Parcel Machines?
Mobile parcel machines (courier trucks) in most cases will be waiting for you near the parcel machines. If you have trouble finding the Mobile Parcel Machine, walk up to the stationary machine and check which direction the arrow is pointing. Follow her to collect your Parcel :-)
Remember to keep track of the messages we send you. This way you will know whether your parcel is in a stationary Parcel Machine or a Mobile Parcel Machine.
How do I collect a parcel from a Mobile Parcel Machine?
