For DPD, due to their innovative technology, they do text a time slot out to you so you have an hour collection slot, so you can know when to be in at home, or when to head down to reception if you are at work, to hand the parcel over. They won't be able to tell you at the time of booking what time they are coming to pick up, but you will be alerted when the driver is on the way to collect the parcel.
f you make a booking for the Same Day collection with Parcelforce, your parcel will be collected before the close of business which normally means 6 pm, as long as you make the order before 11 am and your Post Code is in a region where they can service this request.
No problem, sometimes when a parcel has got to go, it's got to go!
