    ty but they go up every yr in price
    Wins so far this year: Mum to be bath set, follow me Domino Dog, Vital baby feeding set, Spiderman goody bag, free pack of Kiplings cakes, £15 love to shop voucher, HTC Desire, Olive oil cooking spray, Original Source Strawberry Shower Gel, Garnier skin care hamper, Marc Jacobs fragrance.
  • Service gets worse, prices go up. Rip Off Britain living up to its name again.
  • I think the service is tremendous. 41p to get something transported to any address in the UK is cracking value.

    I'd like to see a lower cost for sending things upto 200 miles and a higher cost to send things over 200 miles (maybe just to/from Scotland would suffice ;))

    Your 41p also gets it returned if its a wrong address.

    Only if I get my own address right ;)

    Not quite the same but I once dialled a wrong number. I apologised to the old lady who had struggled to the phone. Then I pressed redial. D'oh!

    I honestly don't think I use more than 20 stamps a year. I agree with Gorgeous George for the most part, so will take the 40p on the chin with dignity ;)

    41 whole Pence!? Just for a little letter or card. Thats not tremendous that's a total rip off. 18p would be more reasonable.
