Just in time for Christmas, a new system for collecting your parcels has arrived in Abingdon . It is for people who are never at home when the postman calls and find getting to to the sorting office on Ock Street on Saturday Morning inconvenient.

For a fee you can have your parcels delivered to the nearest ByBox. You will then be texted or emailed a code, and be able pick up the parcel. Then there is nothing to stop you offline shopping in the town centre shops.

For more information see My.ByBox. Bybox are based in Wantage and launched the first My ByBox in 2009.
