Drop or collect a parcel on the way past
A parcel point only helps if it's on your route and its counter is still staffed when you arrive. Mini Detour finds one along the road you're taking and shows the detour before you commit.

Why timing matters for Parcel point
Collection counters close earlier than the shops that host them and have last-handover times that catch people out. Mini Detour treats a parcel point's hours as high-sensitivity and checks them against your estimated arrival.
How Mini Detour plans a Parcel point stop
Add a parcel point to your plan and Mini Detour ranks the options by detour, each showing whether it's open when you'll reach it. The short dwell keeps it from distorting the rest of your arrival times.
Questions
Does it cover lockers and staffed counters?
It looks for parcel and post points on your route; where hours are published it checks them, and a staffed counter's early close is exactly the case it's built to catch.
Can I chain it with another errand?
Yes. A parcel drop is one category among many, so it can share a plan with groceries or a pharmacy, all ranked by detour.
