Can you redirect a DPD parcel to a Parcel Shop?
Yes, once DPD has the parcel. What the option looks like, when it opens, why it closes fast on drop day, and how resellers get it booked without watching the app.
The redirect option only exists once DPD has scanned the parcel into their network. A retailer's dispatch email arrives well before that, sometimes a full day before, and during that window DPD's tracking page just says they're expecting it. Nothing you press will redirect a parcel DPD hasn't got yet.Parcels
