Local collect
Too busy to stay home and wait for deliveries? Collect your online shopping from our branch instead.
Local Collect is ideal if you’re out and a parcel’s too big to post or needs to be signed for. Here’s how it works:
Check if you can collect
When you buy online, check if the retailer offers Local Collect (delivery to an Our Galestreet Post Office branch). We’ll look after the item until you can collect it, and there’s no charge to pick it up
Pick from Galestreet Post Office
Gale street Post office has long opening hours which is very convenient. We are open Monday to Saturday 6:30 AM to 07:00 PM and Sunday 7:00 AM to 3:00PM.
Bring proof of ID
Just bring some proof of identity for the person it’s addressed to (there’s a list of what we accept below) and a copy of the tracking ID.
Bring some ID

Missed a delivery?
If you’re out and miss a Royal Mail or Parcelforce Worldwide delivery, they’ll leave a ‘Something for You’ card to tell you they tried to deliver your parcel.
Wait until midday at least 24 hours after you receive the card

Bring some proof of ID for the person it’s addressed to (see list of acceptable ID above)
