[Talk-GB] Courier Delivery Points

[Brian Prangle]

Ive been out and about and doing some web research on secure parcel
delivery/collection lockers. The Packstation system in Germany only applies
to Germany and is a proprietary system operated by DHL. In the UK from what
I can work out there are two operators: ByBox and InPost. Most other
courier services tend to use these two, although I'm sure I've seen a
MyHermes station somewhere even though their website says they use ByBox.

Near to me there are both ByBox and InPost lockers. They operate 24/7 and
allow both collection and drop-off

So to follow the accepted tagging convention:

amenity=vending_machine
vending= parcel_mail_in;parcel_pickup
operator= ByBox  OR InPost OR any others that folk come across
collection_times=24/7
ref= e.g. for one of the boxes I surveyed this evening UKSOL1106. These are
only available from the operator website they don't appear to be on the
physical boxes
addr:postcode=  eg. B92 7AW (the German wikipage has postal_code= but I
prefer the addr tag)

Taginfo currently shows NO tags as per this schema for the UK. Has anyone
tagged them differently?

InPost and ByBox websites are boasting 1000s of these units. We always
pride ouselves on being responsive to change on the ground so we need to
get our skates on!

I've got some photos so unless there is a long discussion I'll get a UK
wiki page up soon

Regards

Brian
