Correos confusion
Could anyone possibly offer any advice with Correos?
We have had those yellow slips in our postbox before, meaning you have to go and collect parcels from the post office.
Today I got another slip, and managed to catch the postman as he was walking back across the complex - I waved the slip at him but he said something along the lines of it not being "to bring at home".
I assume he means I have to go and pick it up from the post office, but I would have thought he would have it with him in his van....
...Because a previous time, when we tried to pick something up from the post office they said it "wasn't back yet from deliveries" and were told to come back the following day.
Slightly confused...(and probably confusing anyone reading this too! sorry for rambling on)
Do you always have to wait till the following day to pick something up?

Re: Correos confusion
One hour a day?! 
My local post office is open all day without siesta till 8pm! I obviously should count myself lucky!
I might try and go later on and see if it's there, but the woman who works there is a bit scary and barks things at me very fast in Spanish, making me feel like a complete imbecile.
