Royal Mail Post Deliveries

Will I be required to sign for my post?

In the current situation, Royal Mail will not be asking customers to sign the handheld devices. Postal workers will log the name of the person accepting on their behalf. For any parcels that will not fit through the letterbox, they will place at your door, knock and step aside while you retrieve the item. If you cannot come to the door, a something for you card will be left advising you of your next steps.

Will there be a delay with my postal delivery?

DPD Deliveries

Will I still receive my next day delivery from DPD?

At present DPD are operating as normal throughout the UK, however, they have suspended their pick up from store option until further notice. Currently all courier orders and orders over £100 placed before 2pm will be dispatched on a next day service.

Will I be required to sign for my delivery?

DPD have introduced contact-free deliveries and will sign for your parcel on your behalf. They will record the consignee's name and a ‘Delivered on Authority’ message in the signature section.

We advise downloading the DPD app in which you can set your delivery preferences. Leave in a safe place option is available with them.

You can also leave a note on your front door to tell them where to leave the parcel and the drivers will take a photo. Without instruction, drivers will not deliver the parcel.

In addition to this regarding, swap it deliveries they have implemented new measures, which eliminates contact and ensures social distancing. Drivers will only touch the swap it packaging and customers will only need to touch the items they are swapping and receiving.

Yes, we are still dispatching orders to international countries. We do advise to check that you are able to receive parcels before ordering, for example if your order normally comes with DPD please check with them that you are able to receive.
