Make parcel pick ups easy

As the winter season rolls in and the countdown to Christmas begins, it’s time to start thinking about all those parcels that are about to land on your doorstep (or in your case, your uni halls). Whether you’re getting your Christmas presents sorted early or ordering those last-minute essentials, we know how much of a hassle it can be to juggle parcels with your already-packed schedule.

To save on the load there are a couple of different options to choose from when getting your parcels delivered

Amazon Lockers

Amazon lockers are perfect for ensuring you don’t miss a delivery while you're busy preparing for the holidays or finishing up assignments. Here are all the Amazon Locker locations on campus. 

Send it home instead

If you’re planning on heading home for Christmas and don’t want to cart everything back with you, send your parcels to a parent or guardian’s house. This way, you can enjoy a smooth, stress-free holiday without worrying about lugging everything back home

Other options

InPost Lockers: InPost provides a network of lockers across the UK where you can have parcels sent for pickup at your convenience. Once your parcel arrives, you’ll get a code, and you can pick it up whenever suits you best.

Pop in your postcode and find your closest InPost Locker

Parcel Shops: Another option is to have your parcels delivered to a local parcel shop. Services like these let you send packages to local convenience stores or dedicated collection points, making it easier to grab them whenever you’re free.

Instead of having parcels delivered directly to your halls, opt for one of the options above, making it easier to pick up your deliveries at a time that suits you.
