£1.23 I tell ya! £1.23!!

[KD]

Had a card through the door the other day. It seems that a package couldn't be delivered because the full amount of postage hadn't been paid.

Excitement!! Who is sending me a package??!!

Wait until I have a full moment to breath and travel 5 miles to the collecting office with my £1.23 and identity papers to collect exciting package.

Queue up almost back to my house again Get to the front of the queue, hand over £1.23 and I'm handed a mini envelope.

Well...smaller than I expected..but hey...you can get a few £10 notes in a mini envelope if you fold them correctly.

Didn't feel like it had anything in it though

Opened it up. No £10 notes but there was a mini christmas card.

Now, what I want to know, is who the heck Uncle Cyril is??

Anyone know? Does he belong to any of you?

Well I used to have an Uncle Cyril, but he sadly passed away a few year ago. Mind you that would explain the extortionate postage charge How can a small card cost £1.23 in postage?????

I had one of these a couple of weeks ago apparently £1.00 is for the handling charge!

 

[MadamDotty]

Ah, that would explain it.

 

[sonkie]

that is a rip off

Tiz true a rip off. I didn't collect it last time I did it was junk mail and a much larger envelope costing more.

Anyway I don't want people 'handling my mail' as a special service, let alone charging it for me. Don't they handle the mail anyway Isn't that what the Post Office does
