Free Special delivery mailbags

People may already know this - I only found out yesterday. When sending an item by Royal Mail Special delivery, you can get free heavy duty polythene mail sacks, obtainable from any Post Office. There are different sizes available and they are printed up with the SD logo - they have a tracking number pre-printed on and an NCR address label. When you take it in to send, the assistant gives you back the top copy of the address label as your receipt. :j

I didnt know this.
At the moment i take all my parcels into the post office and write the labels out there. From what your saying it sounds like you can complete the label before you take it in and just drop it off/pay yeah? So you just go in and ask for special delivery bags and they will knoy what your going on about?0 -
That's right - I only found out because i went in and asked if they sold the posting bags. The assisstant told me that if it was SD, they were free, so I got a couple, took them home and dropped them back completed.I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.0

Turn them inside out and they become a plain silver/grey mail bag that you can write on with marker pen and send e-bay parcels in, we've been doing this for months.:heart2: Love isn't finding someone you can live with. It's finding someone you can't live without :heart2:0
