recieved a "cant deliver, fee to pay" letter

the fee is £1.30 (sender didnt pay full postage) but £1 of that is handling fee, so this could just be an unstamped letter for 30p? hmmmm so i could be paying £1.30 for junk?

what to do......:confused:

    Kemo, is the Sorting Office close enough for you to go there? They'll let you look at it before deciding if you want to pay for it or not.

    My Step-Mum sent me a card & enclosed a funny fridge magnet, not realising it would make the cost more due to the width - once I recognised the writing, I paid up, but I've had junk email I've just rejected before!

    Hope it's a good win for you, that you don't mind paying the extra for!

    I have had a couple of competition wins where they haven't paid the postage, but also junk mail - one was a quote for something! Needless to say - they didnt get the work!

    I had this happen to me on a comp prize a few weeks back.The extra fee was £3.99.After I had collected the prize I emailed the promotor and attched a photo of the envelope,so the PO label could be seen.
    The promotor mailed me back straightaway and asked me if I would like another item from them as compensation.naturally I said Yes so I've got two very nice Bluetooth kits for the car,one visor and one in-ear.
