You don't need an account with any of the carriers to use us. Bring your parcel, tell us where it's going, and we'll get it booked in with the right carrier for your budget and timeline.

Areas we serve

We're based in Kentish Town, and most of our customers come from the surrounding North London neighbourhoods rather than travelling across the city. If any of these are near you, we're likely your closest authorised drop-off point:

  • Kentish Town (NW5): our shop is on Chetwynd Road, a few minutes' walk from Kentish Town West Overground and Kentish Town Underground
  • Highgate (N6): a short bus ride down Highgate Road
  • Hampstead (NW3): easily reached via Highgate Road or Fortess Road
  • Camden (NW1): close enough for a lunchtime drop-off
  • Archway (N19): a short journey down the A1

If you're searching for a UPS, DHL or FedEx drop-off point in any of these areas, we're set up to handle it without you needing to travel into central London.


Dropping off a UPS parcel

We're an authorised UPS access point, which means you can drop off a pre-labelled UPS parcel with us the same as you would at any official UPS store. If you don't have a label yet, we can help you create one and take payment on the spot.

Things to bring:

  • Your parcel, packed and ready to go
  • A printed or digital shipping label, if you already have one
  • ID isn't required for drop-off, but is required if you're opening an account or sending high-value items

If you're searching for "ups drop off near me" or "nearest ups to me" from anywhere in Kentish Town, Highgate, Hampstead, Camden or Archway, this is your closest option.


Dropping off a DHL parcel

As a DHL ServicePoint, we handle DHL Express and international shipments. This is the route most customers use for time-sensitive international deliveries, since DHL tends to offer the fastest transit times to the US, Europe and further afield.

We'll help you fill out the correct customs paperwork if you're shipping outside the UK, which is one of the most common places people get tripped up when sending a parcel abroad for the first time.


Dropping off a FedEx parcel

As an authorised FedEx ShipCentre, we take FedEx documents and parcels for both domestic and international delivery. FedEx is a solid choice for document shipping in particular, where speed and tracking matter more than cost.


  • Do I need to book ahead to drop off a parcel?

    No. Just come in during our opening hours, Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. No appointment needed.

  • Can I drop off a parcel without a label already printed?

    Yes. We can print a label for you on the spot if you already have a tracking number or account booking, or help you create a new shipment from scratch.

  • Do you sell packaging materials?

    Yes, we stock boxes, padded envelopes, tape and other packing materials, so you can pack on-site if needed.


  • Is there parking nearby?

    Chetwynd Road has limited on-street parking. Kentish Town West Overground and Kentish Town Underground are both a short walk away if you're coming by public transport.


  • What's the difference between using you and dropping off at an official UPS, DHL or FedEx store?

    Functionally, nothing. We're an authorised access point for all three carriers, so a parcel dropped off with us is processed exactly the same way as one dropped off at a dedicated carrier branch. The difference is we're a local, independent shop that also handles packaging, postal services and office supplies in one visit, rather than a single-carrier branch.


  • Which carrier is cheapest?

    It depends on the size, weight and destination of your parcel. Ask us in person or over the phone and we'll compare live rates across UPS, DHL and FedEx for your specific shipment.
