Fantastic! I have just listed a load of stuff on Ebay, and its always a shame to spend your hard-earned money on the padded envelopes, so these will do just perfect!
Called 08456000690, option 1 and spoke to a nice gent there. Just made up a company name at my address, and had the choice of A3, A4 and A5 and as many bundles of 50 of each as needed. Are being sent out to me tomorrow by 2nd class post, just in time for my listings to end on Ebay!
Thanks again!

Hey guys,
Great freebie but it'd be better if we could use a geographic landline to get them so they are even closer to free. The old 08457950950 number is royal mail customer services department for which the alternative is 01752387112. I couldn't find an alternative to the new 08456000690 number. Can anyone confirm that the landline works or find an alternative to the new number. No results come up on say no to 0870.com
Cheers

ok guys, just a quick update on the whole number thing. I have scoured the internet looking for an alternative to no avail so have put in a request under the freedom of information act for them to provide me with a geographic landline number as an alternative. They have the information therefore they have to supply it. Hopefully they won't be a pain and say there's a fee. I'll keep you updated as they have 20 days from reciept of my request (as it is electronic i assume a quick receipt, they have probably recieved it now but i will give them until tomorrow until the clock starts ticking) if not then i will be getting rather annoyed and might have to send them a nice grumpy email telling them that they are legally bound to supply the information my quick update turned out not so quick but hopefully i'll get a positive result

They don't do the orange slips anymore, the info's inputted into the till and you get a receipt with the tracking number on.

haha free is good but freeer is better. Also I believe that companies should stop using 0845 numbers as local rate because they're not any more. Some police forces have switched to other numbers for non-emergancy because of the fuss over 0845 numbers so it shows progress is being made it's sad i know but at least my spare time is used for something productive and hopefully helpful (i don't just do this, i'm not that sad.) but yeah point taken i'm a bit sad hehe

rm provide a local number for all delivery offices then a nice easy number for national CS
seems easy enough given you phone by choice
