Prescription Collection: 5th May 2026

Published: 30th April 2026

Your next courier collection is scheduled for Tuesday, 5th May 2026. We have produced the following guidelines for your prescription bag submissions.

On Courier Collection days, your post person will arrive with a label and collect a return parcel, this should be your prescription bag.

While unexpected gifts are usually appreciated, on this occasion please do not hand over items such as makeup, handsets, till equipment or (regrettably) any errant members of your team.

The Scanning Centre at Gyle Square is keen to receive your prescription bags, and only your prescription bags.

If you have two bags ready but only one label has been provided, please do not tape them together. Instead, give us a call or send us an email and we will arrange a second label and collection for the following day.
