I vaguely remember hearing years ago that there's a special post office in London that if you go by a certain time you will be effectively catching last post as if you had posted it locally at your postbox in your own postcode.


I want to post something last thing which will get at destination in UK tomorrow morning - any ideas ?

I won't have the doc in my possession until mid-evening.


Thanks,

KK.

There used to be 2 x 19:30pm collections - one at the Paddington and one at the Mount Pleasant sorting offices.


The Paddington office isn't a sorting office any more and I have a sneaking suspicion that the Mount Pleasant collection is now 7pm, but may be worth checking both of these.


I've never heard of a later collection in London than 19:30pm...wouldn't it be nice...

I remember when you used to be able to go to the night mail train in Glasgow Central station at 11.30pm and post a letter straight on to the train for delivery next morning in London!! Is this still possible in the London rail terminals or does everything go by air now???

I've posted late stuff at Nine Elms, but it was a while ago so the times may have changed.


KK, you can't guarantee next day delivery unless you send something RMSD (special delivery), can you? Was Mount Pleasant actually able to take your item personally? Interested to know for future reference!

    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
