Post and Packages July 2024

Outgoing Post

Generally: For our regional offices Lockton pays an extra sum to Royal Mail for collection of all franked, special and stamped post. This extra charge ensures the outgoing post is collected by Royal Mail from our offices at an agreed time each day, avoiding the need to take items to the post office or post box.

The St Botolph box is collected within the office and taken to the adjacent post office.

All items are sent by second class post unless specific instructions are clearly made on an envelope or package for first class mail.

For outgoing packages we use a mixture of Royal Mail, City Sprint and more often than not DHL, with who we have a service arrangement. The final decision is left with the Post Room, dependent on price. For special items requiring signed for services and for virtually all international services we use DHL. Please do use the courier form which is available here at the end of this document.

This is important as key information is required to avoid delaying the item, either in customs or in local delivery in the country of the recipient.

Please note USB S must be declared as non- printed matter and also please ensure you have complied with all Lockton Security Policies and Procedures regarding the sending of information and all encryption rules have been strictly applied.

For all shipments or items that are 1.2 meters or 100kg, please give the team 24 hours prior notice, As this needs to be booked and arranged with the carrier and they ask for 24 hour notice.
