Drop-off parcel delivery services require the sender to take their parcel to a location where a courier will collect it. This could be your local Post Office, a courier drop-off depot or even a garage or shop.
You can book discounted parcel drop-off services online with Parcel Monkey, including DPD Pickup, Hermes Drop-Off and Parcelforce Drop-Off.
When you book a parcel drop-off service with Parcel Monkey, you have the choice of three popular drop-off service providers – Parcelforce, Hermes and DPD.
You can drop off your parcel at almost any Post Office, DPD Pickup shop or myHermes ParcelShop in the UK.

Drop-off services are suitable for both UK shipping and international parcel delivery. We provide any necessary customs documents in the booking process, so all you have to do is print them off and attach them with the shipping label, then drop off your parcel as normal.
You can still track your parcel in full with a parcel drop-off service, it will be scanned at the shop or Post Office and then throughout its transit until delivery. Share your tracking number with the recipient so they too can track the goods.
This is not an option, as you will not have the correct label if you booked a courier collection for your item.
For your parcel to be accepted at a drop-off location, you will be provided with a drop-off label to print and attach to your parcel. For collected services, the driver brings the barcoded shipping label with them to attach to your parcel.
You can re-book a new collection for the next working day, or you can cancel your order and get it refunded. You can then book a parcel drop-off service and drop off at your local store with the correct labels to ensure your parcel arrives safely.
