Formby Village Gets a Brand-New Parcel Post Box for Christmas!

A brand-new Royal Mail parcel post box has now been installed in Formby Village, positioned directly outside the Post Office on Brows Lane — perfectly timed for the Christmas rush.

This upgraded post box is not only for letters and cards but is also a Local Parcel Point, offering a fast and convenient way to collect, send and return smaller parcels without needing to queue inside the Post Office.

COLLECT, SEND, RETURN – 130,000 WAYS TO MAKE CHRISTMAS EASY

Postboxes

Postboxes aren’t just for Christmas cards. They’re ideal for smaller gifts and pre-labelled parcels too. Simply print your label at home, scan it with the Royal Mail app for proof of posting, and pop it straight into the post box.

Parcel Lockers

Royal Mail’s 24/7 parcel lockers let you collect, send and return parcels at any time — and you can also print your label directly at the locker.

Shops

You can also visit a Royal Mail Shop to buy postage, print labels, and manage your festive parcels. Many are open later during the Christmas period. And of course, your local Post Office branch remains available as usual.
