Hi,
having received notification slip from Parcel Force I've just paid the duty on a parcel from the USA.

Can I take the "duty to be paid" notification slip with me to collect said parcel or do I have to wait until the delivery dude notices that I'm out, tries to deliver said package and leaves me a "I saw you going" slip instead?

I've collected them in the past from the Depot, this was with Parcelforce if that helps.

Don't bother asking the courier you just paid - ask us instead!

Hi,
Sideways_Sid,
;-)
I just paid on the parcel force website who are also the courier.

Really? That would be great if they accept the customs invoice as proof of being recipient.

The last time all I had was some ID and the tracking number

I usually go to the local depot and pay the duty there and then while collecting.. Also give you the option to walk away if it's smashed to pieces.
