Well I got home today to a red card.....very exciting. So I dashed to the post office and there's no parcel there :(

I've so far been to both post offices in town and called the sorting office but it is no where to be found...boo hiss.

So I may have won something but I'm not sure what and even if I'll get it, not sure where to check now :angry:

Just to update you all, I've finally collected the parcel and it was a win :j

I won a Paul Labrecque from this instyle post:

So thanks to Darcy13 and Martin's Doll. I'm having a good month for wins.

Huge thanks to everyone who takes the time to post comps on here, much appreciated :beer:

    What time was written on the card? Is it possible that it was still out in the van when you went to the sorting office?

    You usually have to leave it a certain amount of hours before collecting the parcel cos it could still be out with the postie on their round.

    Try again tomorrow and hopefully you'll have some luck.

    Let us know what the parcel is! x

    Thanks all.
    I'm going to try calling the post office again tomorrow. They tried to deliver at 10.57am and it said to leave it 4 hours before collecting. It was after 4pm when I went up:confused:

    Oh well hopefully it will be there tomorrow...fingers crossed!

  • With my PO you have to wait at least 24hours and even then it isn't always there so I think 4hours is probably opptimistic!
