Eat your heart out Amazon, with the introduction of these I'm now about to go into the online retail business.

They will be OK for the small stuff... but how about trying to return 10 x 6ft decking planks... or a couple of exhaust pipes for your old banger ? still have to FIND a post office (somewhere) or employ a dodgy courier service !

Starting out small, will order bigger postboxes as my business expands.

@shutter I was rather surprised to find out, even though I live out in the sticks, that my nearest post office is open until the cows come home, ok 7.30pm and is actually open to the same time on a Sunday. Now that does make returning stuff very easy.

I think most "sub-post offices" are now open 7 days a week.... which is an improvement on a few years back.... however,... I seem to recall, a recent news report that an estimated 2,000 are due for closure this year...
As an ex- Sub Postmaster, in a small village, I feel strongly for the village shop, and the sub post master/mistress who lose out twice fold.... firstly, cos it reduces footfall into the village shop, and thus reduces sales/profitability, and secondly... the sub postmaster/mistress loses additional income from his/her wages dependent on post office "traffic"...

They have similar boxes to this in some parts of America but not in red !
I was talking to one traveller who thought it was a trash can and chucked his empty big mac container in it !
