Was reading with interest the thread about letter boxes. Moving on from that, I buy quite a lot off stuff from eBay or online stores, and due to everyone being at work in the day, I have to get it sent to my folks house. They're retired, but I'd like to stop this as the postman often get's them out of bed in the mornings.
I have always wondered if there is a service which you can pay for to receive your parcels and you just go and pick them up when you are available. I've looked into getting a P.O. box, but the royal mail state they won't take in packages from other couriers, so it's no use.
Any ideas?
