    Parcel Motel or Parcel Wizard

    I use them both already, but this is for something right outside that an post or parcel wizard can just drop "bigger" items into rather than having to reschedule, collect from sorting office, collect from parcel motel etc. Would be worth spending a bit on for the convenience over time, but £100+ is pricey!

    afaik an post don't bring out the parcels with them anymore - they just drop in the delivery notice.

    My area an post driver is great, he has my number and rings me up when he's going to be delivering to check if I'm going to be in, if I'm not there, I give him permission to leave it outside, but the idea of getting one of these is to replace my regular post box (I don't have a letter box) with something able to take much bigger packets, without people being able to just fit their hand in and grab it.
