Random one. I’m flying through Heathrow in a few weeks’ time (flying in, couple of hours’ wait then flying out again) and want to pick up a couple of parcels. Are there any companies/ services offering parcel holding services in or around the airport?

You do realise that your post makes you sound like a drug courier?

Is this you?

Why has someone hidden a slightly squashed blue Fedora hat in their chest?

I’d say that any genuine inquiries you make on this subject will result in this…

First in the literal sense, then the metaphorical…

Ive done this a couple of times.

you will have to come out past security/passport control and then go back through once you have your stuff.

you will have to come out past security/passport control from under the stairs and then go to front door back through under the stairs once you have your stuff.

I suppose it’ll depend where you’re picking your parcels up from.
Heathrow’s not always the easiest or quickest place to get in and out of on public transport.

Don’t forget to answer the “did you pack this yourself” questions correctly 🙂

What could possibly go wrong?

you will have to come out past security/passport control and then go back through once you have your stuff.

Thought as much.

Put it like this: if you have a games console that only plays region 2 games (of which you have many), but you live in region 1, stocking up when you go back to the UK is fairly desirable, with online retailers being the preferred option. Normally I’d stop by for a few days, so posting them to a mate’s is easy enough.

But yeah, I guess without context rubber gloves and invasive searches might seem like the natural next step…
