UPS Access Point

Telecaster · 10 May 2015 at 22:00

Anyone used this via Interparcel etc? whenever I click on a store to use for collection it doesn't offer me any choice of collection date, do they not require one? :S

I booked a couple tonight with intention of dropping them off on Tuesday, don't tell me it's a next day collection only deal :eek:

You drop it off at the access point, and it's collected the same day if you're before the cut off time, or the next day if not.
I don't see how that's hard to understand.

You just drop it off whenever is convenient, you don't need a booking slot.

I've never used it before, I assumed you had to pick a slot so they knew when to collect it.

What are you on about, it's a drop off point, you drop it off.

No **** I drop it off. I meant so that UPS know when to collect it from my tin pot corner shop.

when you drop your package off it gets scanned in so ups know it is there, simples.

Ahh right now we're getting somewhere!

Knowing where it's being collected from, never in a million years would I have expected that, they've not long since moved on from accepting turnips as payment for goods so expecting them to have some form of parcel scanning equipment never even crossed my mind!

Thanks.

Do you need reasuring for anything else today?

The labels are valid for up to 30 IIRC so drop it in anytime within that limit and UPS will toddle along and pick up their new football.

Someone who has never had to ask how anything works, I doff my hat to one so wise.

You know what they say about questions, there are no stupid ones, only stupid answers.
