They have sent me a pickup time but I can't find any details on how it should be packaged.
Can anyone give me a bit of advice on this please?

- Thanks for above info which was helpful. I've been trying to get through to Currys to see if I needed to put a label on the box, but evidently I do not, Thank you.
I had this same problem not too long ago, you would just package the item boxed. It doesn’t need any address on the box as the dpd(courier) will add his label to it. I contacted curry’s to confirm this.
AuthorDPD just collected the clock.
It all went smoothly. The driver just put a small barcode label on the bag it was in and handed me a receipt.
In light of this I have no idea why the emails have the dire warning:
Please ensure this parcel is securely packaged and the delivery address is clearly visible.
thanks for this i was also confused by the 'delivery address is clearly visible' on the email it confused me.03/12/2020 14:26

I would wrap it in a box and a plastic shoppingbag to keep it clean and label can go on that (edited)- Author

A label on the box affecting the resale value of a used second hand and possibly faulty item? I doubt it.
Will prob go back to the supplier and become a refurb or parts and be re boxed.
Ordinarily I would suspect a return should be packaged how it came to you, or if any length of time and no original packaging then just as best as possible but in a way that it won't get damaged by the postal service.- Maybe not faulty but still second hand used.... In relation to the affect on resale value I meant
Came across this thread as I too was wondering what address to put on externally hard disk case package, bought the wrong one. This has been very helpful as I couldn't find a return address anyway so useful to know DPD driver will add own label. Not sure why they don't include this information in confirmation email. Could have saved me time searching. (edited)

Like everyone else - came to find out what to do in the case of address labels etc.
Ironically, in my case it's going back because my parcel was based to all hell, you can put your finger in the box from the outside and it's rattling in a strange way that the item it is... really shouldn't!!
It's going back in the SAME packaging that they sent it out in, a simple plain grey, tight plastic bag. To me, no its not as they say on their email "SECURELY PACKAGED!!!!!", but its what they sent, so it's what they're getting back. It wasn't exactly what i call 'Amazon packaging' where the item is in a box that is 3 times the size with a million air bags and paper packing all around it!29/03/2021 09:29

I just turned an old delivery bag inside out (so that the black was on the outside), put the box in, and stuck the label on the bag.
Awfully framed photo there, but yep. Grey bad, most corners were torn and had holes, other side has bug hole you can feel inside - AuthorThanks.

If wasn't that it was exactly faulty, it just didn't work very well. I had to keep repeating instructions to get it to do what I asked. One time I had to ask it 15 times to turn off my Youview box, something that a Google Home Mini would usually have managed on the first or second attempt. - Author

I’m in the process of making a return to Currys using their DPD pickup service,
I was just curious as too if it all went smoothly? And how long your refunds took to process.

If I remember correctly, the refund wasn't instantaneous but it took less than a week.

It's lucky you got anything with the bag in that state. Was the console undamaged? (edited)
How long is Currys return policy?
The amount of time which you have to decide whether you are going to keep the item, exchange, or return and get a refund vary depending on the item and the reason for the return. Generally, for returning unwanted items you have 14 to 21 calendar days.
How to package Currys returns?
To put it simply: make sure to use the original packaging.
If you are making a return as you no longer want the item/s, Currys orders should be returned in their original packaging and should be in the same condition in which you received them. The items should not have been used.
If you are returning an item because it is faulty you just need to return the product as usual, although many products usually come with a warranty period.
Finally, for products that arrived in a damaged condition or for incorrect products, you should make sure to contact Currys straight away to arrange a return or refund whilst ensuring to repackage the faulty products in the original packaging.
It is important to note that to make a return, you must have proof of purchase such as a receipt for in-store purchases or a bank statement or invoice.
The best way to repackage your Currys PC World return is just to place it back in the original box or packaging in which it arrived. You should ensure that all manuals, papers and accessories which came with the item are also inside. Then tape it up making sure that the item is secure and will not fall out or tumble around in the box. If you have arranged a DPD collection then they will put a label on the parcel for you when they pick it up. If you choose to drop your returns parcel off at a DPD Pickup Shop, then either you will have been sent a Currys return address label DPD to print off and stick on the parcel beforehand, or DPD will put a label on it for you.
How long do Currys refunds take?
Currys' refund policy states that customers should get a full refund within up to 14 days although there may be disruption to this.
