Does anyone know where the nearest Royal Mail parcel drop box to Ivanhoe Road is located? According to the Royal Mail website, its on the corner of Ivanhoe Rd and Avondale Rise, however, although my parcel is within the size limit of a large letter, the post box is at least 2 inches too small. Does anyone know if any of the local post offices have parcel drop boxes? If not I will have to traipse down to the sorting office at Camberwell Green or arrange pickup at extra cost. Thanks

According to https://www.royalmail.com/d8/parcel-post-boxes "The maximum Parcel size allowed into our new Postboxes is 44cm x 35cm x 16cm", and the nearest one I can see listed there is probably Milkwood Road, SE24. Or are there different types of them?


PS After struggling with the RM website I see that there's a priority post box (as designated for collection of completed virus test kits) at the location you mention. Which doesn't help you, I know.

I've stopped sending parcels from the Post Office. Book online, print off the label, and DPD can pick up the parcel from your home or, if you want to do it a bit cheaper, you can drop your parcel at various places locally including Food & Wine 141 Lordship Lane. I dropped off a 4kg parcel on Tuesday and it was delivered on Thursday, and cost me less than ?10 I think. (Hermes et al also do similar, you'd need to check online which shops they pick up from).

Best stay away from Hermes. They are the cheapest but they lose at lot of parcels. They fake signatures and falsify the tracking. Cheap is not cheerful with them. Save yourself the grief, pay a ?1 extra and go with UPS or DPD.

    • Seems to be back on now although pressure reduced especially for hot water via boiler. Hopefully I can have a shower in the morning.
    • It’s far too hot. Dogs should not be out and you’re right to post this.  
    • Agree that you have to be so careful dogs in this heat… but please dont judge so quickly.  Its one thing if you see a dog at midday being thrown the ball endlessly, but if you see a dog en route / somewhere - You dont know if that dog was being walked to the vet for an emergency appointment.. or taken to a friend’s house that is cooler etc.  And if they live in a flat, they might desperately need to be taken out for a quick pee / poo ! 
    • I know,  absolutely crazy.  A dog has never died because it didn't have a walk, but dogs do die if walked in this heat. Perhaps the owners should put on a thick fur coat, take their shoes off and jog round the pavements, and see how that feels! 🤬
