That is ridiculous. They could have left the parcel at the soring office and asked what you wanted to do. Pay the extra yourself or the receiver will pay. Nice to know somebody still does the old pen pal system. I thought maybe that had all died out now with the net being so much easier and available. |

Has anything changed in the last 12 months? Brother sent us an anniversary card from about 12 miles away, put 1st class stamp on, and it took 3 days. Only thing he didn't put on was the postcode, should this make 2 days difference? |

When second class works this is what you are supposed to get: 'Millions of people use Second Class mail every day to send Letters, Packets and other small items. We aim to deliver your mail by the third working day after posting.' So, why choose second class if the card was important? The fact that one got there early was just a fortunate. |

Karen,you aren't the only one, I never realised this was one and the same person lol I have to say in fairness, that lately I have been quite impressed with deliveries of post, several times I have caught the last postal collection with a card or letter first class stamp and it has arrived the next day, even tho more than a hundred miles away or more. I even managed to persuade the postman collecting from a Post Office to take my parcel even tho he said he had done the collection, he took mine and another woman's who had just been weighed and stamped at the post office, and the parcel arrived 150 miles away the next day! As you can see from my previous post, last year, I had become very disillusioned with them but looks as if things around this area are getting better. Touching wood as I type this. Liz |

sorry Liz I thought everybody knew I had changed my name. There were several threads about if you google your board name you will be surprised. Well as I was using GLoryer on most of the other sites I visit I was amazed how much info came up on google so felt it was time for a change. Been using LLC for a long time now though |
