In March Royal Mail announced a new development in posting tracked packages:
To use the service customers simply need to open the Royal Mail app, select ‘proof of posting’ and the postbox they are at will appear. They then scan their barcoded label, select ‘post now’ and the customers will receive their proof of posting confirmation message.
Thanks to JW of Edinburgh I can now show what seems to be a further development in the process, certainly it's a different type of postbox to the one shown in March.
Far from 'the postbox they are at will appear' (presumably using a GPS locator), this one now requires the packet to be scanned using the scanner on the postbox.
I assume that there are two containers inside the box, which will enable the 'to be postmarked' and labelled mails to be kept separate. (Click on the image to enlarge so that you can read the instructions!)
If anybody has any other developments, including using the boxes with solar panels on, I will be pleased to report on them.
