Can Myparcel pick up goods from a retail store’s “Click & Collect” service on my behalf?

The transport carriers that Myparcel utilises do not pick up freight from retail stores offering a Click and Collect option. The reasons for this are: Click and Collect pickups require a purchase receipt to be presented, which a driver will not have. Click and Collect pickups require the receiver to sign for the goods to confirm that they are complete and what was ordered. […]

Can I send goods to a transport carrier’s depot for the receiver to collect?

  If you wish to make a booking where the freight is collected by the receiver from the carrier depot, please contact our Customer Service team prior to your booking.

PO Boxes and Parcel Lockers

Myparcel picks up from and delivers freight to street addresses. We are unable to pick up from or deliver to parcel lockers or PO boxes.

When can I expect the driver to arrive?

Deliveries will generally be picked up between 8:30am and 5:00pm, on the pickup date selected or the nearest business day. If you selected different opening and closing times when booking, most carriers will take these into consideration and arrive between these times. However, as carriers operate according to area schedules they cannot always accommodate restricted pickup times.

What if my parcel is delicate?
