📨 Exmouth’s newest town centre Post Office (kind of)
With our town centre Post Office branch closing, everyone’s wondering how on earth we’re going to get things done without the main counters!
I know a lot of us are feeling stuck with the town centre branch closing, but I’ve got some GOOD NEWS!!!!!
You don't actually need a physical post office to get some of your everyday admin done.
As Exmouth's number one tech advisor I've taken it upon my self to be the virtual post office, let's just say your friendly neighbourhood phone fixing post man advisor!!!
With that new job title I've decided to put together a series of posts (all free with no strings attached and an awful pun 😂) showing you how to manage all these services right from your phone or computer—no queues, no stress!
🚚 Today's Focus: Sending parcels using Royal Mail
You don't need a Post Office counter to ship packages, send gifts, or post returns. Royal Mail will handle the entire process directly from your front door!
📱1. Buy postage online
Head straight to Royal Mail Click & Drop on your phone or computer. Enter your parcel's weight and size to choose your delivery speed and pay online in seconds.
🚪2. Book a doorstep pickup
Use Royal Mail Parcel Collect to have your postie pick the package up directly from your house. You can even set a safe place if you won't be home when they swing by!
📝3. No printer? No problem!
When booking your pickup, simply select the "Bring my label" option. Your local postie will print the postage label, bring it straight to your front door, stick it on your package, and take it away.
📮4. Drop-off alternative: Exmouth Delivery Office
If you would rather drop off your pre-paid Royal Mail parcels in person instead of waiting at home, you can take them directly to the local depot counter.
They can be found at:
1 Church Street, Exmouth, EX8 1AA
Or give them a call:
03457 740 740
If you dont possess any tech and feel left behind, there are great organisations like the Exmouth Library who can help
You'll find them here 📍
40 Exeter Road, Exmouth, Devon, EX8 1PS
And if you need your stationary and postal goods, you can grab them just opposite the library at Exmouth Stationery & Copy Centre
You'll find them here 📍
35 Exeter Road, Exmouth, Devon EX8 1PT
You see guys when life hands you lemons you make lemonade or you can post them easily with my tip top postal tech tips.
See you on my next round 👋
