Hello all, I have just been told that the Caravan and Motorhome Club Wardens are not allowed to receive / sign for parcels whilst you are staying on site.
I have orders bits and bobs from Amazon etc before whilst staying on sites without any issue but today I was told by a Warden at West Ayton this was not allowed. Apparently they are allowed to sign for parcels if it is an emergency and it is prearranged with them.
I ordered a new cable for my wife’s new phone as it had a USB-C connector.

£319 for my stay here... I am not asking for much just a signature and a 1 hour home for a small box.

That's obviously something the recipient will have to factor into his timing calculations and take responsibility for sorting out. It's no different if delivered to a machine or a willing warden in that respect.

I believe the ones sent to machines are collected and sent back after a set time, as are those to click and collect locations. Which are usually shops / garages constantly staffed with long opening hours. A warden will have no such arrangement and have to organise a collection with the delivery firm. Then of course be available to hand the parcel over when the driver arrives.

There is scope to rearrange where a delivery is going after dispatch with many couriers. Although I think that is only intended for to a neighbour or close by, rather than a different area of the country.

So auto collection/return is another plus point for using machines👍🏻
