geordie_aaron Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Received a nice 'unfortunately we can't deliver your item because there's a fee to pay' notice through my door....... because whoever has sent me something recorded delivery......and was short 24p on postage, i've now got to pay £1.24 to get MY mail.....becuase there's a £1 'handling charge' how this is fair on me i have no idea. i actually know where the package is from, and it WILL have the return address as a BIG employer....so why not send them the Fcuking notice? ok £1.24 isn't going to break the bank, but what if it was something important?

Escort boy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I had this happen before had to go to the post office and pay to collect some junk mail, was a sales leaflet or summit. What a waste of time, you would think they would use their discretion and put such things in the bin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

white_van_man Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 also if you get a card through the door and ask for it to be delivered to your local post office so you can collect it there same day they charge you 50p for doing it, even though they go there anyway to collect the mail in the afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkyMark Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Fcuking joke, loads of little LEGAL scams like that that companies use, like you say Aaron it wont break the bank but with the ammount of people doing this it adds up to a good bit of profit for the companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidrick Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Handing 124 pennies to a counter assistant, in a dead end job, probably having a Shite day handling complaints isn't really fair. It's the sender's fault here, not the Royal Mails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 balls. Royal mail sneakily changed the rules on letter sizes, it wasn't really published enough and not enough people were aware of it. Where were the TV adverts etc.? They only have the info in post offices and not everyone posts stuff from the post office. What about postboxes? I dont see no signs on the front of postboxes? It's a scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 No one is obliged to accept more than 20p in pennies as legal tender. Nice try. Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're going to have to validate that one, especially after the blah you said about anti-static strips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
