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.
