When I used to temp in post rooms, their post was collected towards the end of the day... One place did do a lunch time collection...

Essentially...if you're not religious, pick a God and start praying to it... You may get them tomorrow!

For those people ahead of me in the queue, I'll give you £10 to cancel your order Bargain if you ask me!!

On the whole the courier industry works on deliveries am collections pm unless the business is mile from anywhere when the collections are done with the deliveries. Obviously there's a benefit to businesses to have as late a collection as possible as you can take orders later for next day despatch... the more parcels you send the later you can get a collection usually. As MPD probably knock out a lot of parcels I would guess at t least a 5pm collection giving them 2 hours to get a phone out from their 3pm deadline.

Boring decriptive piece ends.

Thanks for everyone's replies, so hopefully they'll be collected from MPD between 4pm and 5pm. Mind you it's all a bit of a moot point as to which time they collect, as long as they leave their warehouse today, next day delivery is still tomorrow!

*Prays to all the Gods he can think of...and some I might have made up!*
