Q: What do i need to operate a collection point?

Q: What are the benefits for my customers?

  • ParcelPark offers a proven solution to this problem and can be used with all parcel delivery services, including the postman, or any other courier company. This means that absolutely anyone can use ParcelPark, and that the potential for new customers visiting your Collection Point are greatly increased.

Q: How much parcel storage space is required?


  • In practice, only a small area will be required for storing parcels. The size of parcels that may be sent is restricted and customers tend to collected them promptly (usually within 48 hours).
  • In the unlikely event that storage space should become a problem, our short term contracts (just 1 months cancellation notice) give you the flexibility to choose whether you want to continue operating a Collection Point at all.
