https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Postage/Beware-Royal-Mail-Parcel-Lockers-there-s-a-fatal-design-flaw-and/m-p/7952950#M65724 <P>At busy times e.g. the run-up to Christmas, Royal Mail has for decades and still does have lots of its van drivers driving around continually during the day to collect from pillarboxes multiple times, particularly in areas where there's a lot of items being posted (and they hire more workers and use more vans to cope with the extra volumes). Sometimes an RM notice on the pillarbox tells you.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>My point is that RM should realise it needs to do the same for parcel lockers.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Online locker-tracking (using technology that already exists; like InPost) would help them focus effort where it's most needed. Keeping records would spot trends so workers can be more efficiently assigned in future.</P> Wed, 05 Nov 2025 10:12:47 GMT insidethe93 2025-11-05T10:12:47Z
