Twice attempted to arrange for parcel collection from another address.
First date for arranged collection Royal Mail e-mailed me to say no one at home when postman called yet the sender said he was in all day. I'd paid for the parcel label to be taken to the collection address. 2nd date arranged three days later. Paid a small fee for the next collection and on this date NO label taken to the collection address despite having paid for one so no collection made again. Total incompetence by Royal Mail. I've cancelled my order on the item I was trying to buy. The booking system is un necessarily long winded and actually cannot can not cater correctly for someone arranging for a parcel collection from someone elses address I''ve wasted my money by paying for a service that has not been given.

I booked a collection for an item, postie to bring label, left in specified safe place.
I get a message collection unsuccessful, nobody home - even though ITEM WAS IN SAFE PLACE.
I rebook the collection, wait at home. Postie turns up... WITHOUT A LABEL. I spend 10 minutes with him stood at my doorstep trying to find how to print a label from the order page and there is nothing. So in the end after both of us are embarrassed and I'm very wound up, he has to leave without the parcel. What a hopeless service.
