I'm very curious about the idea of taking the package to the delivery office instead - can they print the label from your QR code? I don't have a printer. And I assume from your post that they don't measure and weigh the package - is that correct?

Unfortunately you would need to have the labels printed but in my experience they don't check weights or sizes at all at the delivery office. And it should be the same if you have a CollectPlus store near you that accepts Royal Mail parcels - as long as it's not massive they're not going to check if it's a large letter, etc. So those are both good options if you are able to print labels and you think your parcel may be bigger than the label should allow.

But if your Post Office are aware that they should be accepting all Simple Delivery parcels below the size limit then you should be fine. The potential issue with the QR code at the Post Office is that the QR itself doesn't say anything about email or simple delivery and the label that gets printed is just like any other postage label that you might buy in the post office - so it will say Tracked 48 and for example Small Parcel 2kg, but it won't say ebay Simple Delivery or Marketplace seller. So you can clearly see why some Post Offices may be checking and rejecting parcels with those QR printed labels.
