Did you tell him last year that the postage was short...........if not this year it might be good to let him know. |

Don't talk to me about Royal Mail - I'm fuming at the moment. |

Vera I have heard of that before, they don't even have the items on the van they are left at the depot and cards delivered instead. Hasn't happened to us yet, OH has quite a few packets and often gets a red card. If it is around the time post is normally delivered he chases off round the estate to track postie down and so far hasmanaged to get the parcels. |

Vera, when you are at home put a big note on the door to say Postman, please knock (or ring) as I am waiting for my parcel and am at home! |

I made sure the cards I had to post this year were absolutely flat i.e. no sticky-outy bits that wouldn't fit through the Post Office's little gap on their guidelines. I'm sure the sorting offices must be full of uncollected cards at this time of the year, seeing what you have to pay to get them from there. |

I had a birthday card, one of those hand made ones, with a note to collect from the depot. Apparently if they are more than 5 mm thick then they don't go for the normal price. |

Can't complain about our posties. In this area, parcels(except very small ones) are delivered by a different van to letters. If we are not in, they are left with a neighbour and a card put through our door to tell us. I seem to remember we were asked a few months ago if this was what we wanted or if we would prefer to go to the sorting office to collect. |

As a maker of hand made cards I am very aware of the different postal measurements. However it is not wise to rely on the measuring card given by the post office because it is flexible. Sometimes things go through the slot that won't go through the rigid sot. I have noticed too that the post office don't push things through the slot they drop them through, if they won't drop it is the higher rate. If I am in doubt with my hand made cards I always have them checked. |
