We have already learned about the dimensions of parcels, we have read about the most important advantages of InPost machines and we know how to send a parcel. Now it is time to answer an equally important question, i.e.: how long does a parcel wait to be collected in the machine?

What happens if you do not collect your parcel after this time? In this situation it is sent back to the recipient.

Thanks to the option sharing a package from app to app , a friend has all the necessary data on the parcel to be collected.
You have another useful solution: simply take the opportunity to Extend your collection deadline and gain another 24 hours for collection . You can use the option multiple times. You can extend your parcel up to 12h before the collection time and the option is available on InPost Mobile.
