I don't get why that isn't done everywhere unless you ask not to?I'd rather my neighbours take a parcel in than I have to collect it from the depot/it gets left in the rain on the step/gets nicked.
(and I never speak to my neighbours)

Yes I am quite pleased with the development actuallyI was getting rather fed up with traipsing all the way to the nearest sorting office at 6am before I have to go to work, then they went and closed down the nearest one (by near I mean 5miles) to the main Central Sorting Office so yes leaving it with a neighbour is infinitely better.

It's okay, providing that your neighbour isn't a thieving pikey scumbag who will deny all knowledge.

I don't get why "Deliver to my cornershop" isn't a scheme.- They are widely distributed.
- They are open long hours, and pretty much every day there's a postal service.
- Chances are, you visit there anyway.
- The shops get increased footfall, community profile, and the odds of impulse spending.
I'd rather nip down the street that day; than take a bus and a long walk, twice, to visit the sorting office (once 24h for reprocessing has elapsed).
I know you can chose "redeliver to local post office", but there's a one pound charge for that; and the 'local' post office is not very local.
ID is not an issue, just use the same red cards you have to take to the sorting office; although they might well recognise you without them.

This sounds like a sensible plan.
