What is Drop & Go?

How does Drop & Go work?

Next time you have post to send, simply visit the fast-track counter (where available) and drop off your items along with a completed manifest, which you can now create online. There’s no queue and no need to wait for your items to be processed. Your items will be processed for you and sent off on the day you drop them off. The cost will be deducted from your prepaid account, and your new credit balance will be updated. If you’re sending anything tracked or if you need any certificates of posting – we’ll keep those receipts ready for you to collect on your next visit.

How do I register for a Drop & Go account?

There are two ways to register for a Drop & Go account: in-branch or online. We recommend registering online and completing the on-screen application details. You will be issued an eight digit account number and then receive an email confirming the details. Please keep this account number safe as you will need this to post items and access your account.

Alternatively, you can register in branch by completing an application form (links to PDF). You will be given an eight digit account number and then you can register this online.

What details do I need to register my existing Drop & Go account online?

I have a number of Drop & Go cards/accounts, how can I link them all together?

Right now, it's not possible to link more than one Drop & Go card /account. We'd recommend that you link the card/account you use most often, and if any of the remaining cards/accounts have a balance on them, ask the branch to close these for you. We'll then arrange a refund for any remaining credit.

I haven’t received the email to validate my email address?

We recommend that you use Google Chrome or Safari web browser and accept cookies, in particularly functional and performance cookies, to avoid technical issues preventing you receiving the email. Please also ensure your browser is up to date, your mail box is not full and your out of office is not on.
