Customers who have booked either domestic or international parcel delivery via Parcelforce have a fantastic array of drop-off options. These services allow you to take your parcel to any Post Office and hand over your pre-paid package for processing.
There are a multitude of choices in the area including the South End Sub Post Office, the one at 10 High Street, Mitcham Road, Waddon, Highview, Addiscombe and on Wickham Road.
So if you commute into the centre of London during opening hours, you can drop your parcel off at one of many on your route to the tube or train station. Alternatively you can choose one of many Post Offices in the centre of London itself. If you work or shop in Croydon, then the list of Post Offices below will help with your immediate needs.
You can have your package collected from your home or work address, as well as taking it to the depot in Mitcham, to the one by Dartford if you're on your way to the Bluewater shopping centre.
Another option would be to use the DPD service which allows you to take your packages to any of the ten retail stores around the town. When you have booked your parcel to be shipped via DPD and dropped it off at the shop it will be either collected by the courier. Some of the larger points may have collections at the weekend as well - at no extra charge. The price starts at a very respectable £5.99+vat and is the same for packages up to 20kg. There will be restrictions on the size, height and width, however.
To get an accurate price you can use the 'Send a Parcel' button above - which will also show other courier options.
There is also a cluster of four DPD Pick Up Shop options between Addiscombe and Thronton Heath. Such as the Croychem pharmacy on Lower Addiscombe Road, a Londis on Selhurst Road, a Larchwood Pharmacy also on Lower Addiscombe Road and at the Woodside Store on Woodside Green.
Please do note that you should check the opening hours of the store, by using the DPD shop finder tool before you attempt a drop-off.

Comments from customers who have sent parcels from Croydon.
Gave instant price comparison, which was easy to obtain. Helpful guidance throughout process with emails confirming what would happen when and what I had to do. My only quibble was DPD, the selected courier gave a 12-hour collection window of 6am to 6pm. Surely it could be narrowed down? But collection in London was efficient and five days later the boxes arrived safely in Japan.

Mostly positive with a few irritations loading customs info..
Good website and choice of carriers, sent two parcels one arrived next day but the other took 36 hours longer, disappointed with the carrier (DPD), no comms for the parcel that arrived on time but a message re the one that arrived late. Not cheap to use but convenient and both parcels ultimately arrived.
