  • There is a poundland at Wandsworth shopping centre. Get a No. 77 bus from Albert Embankment (Thats near you right?) and it will take you straight to the shopping centre.

    Just to clarify this please. There are two sorts of bags, one is pre paid and have the tracking number on them and basically you put your stuff in, take it to the PO who confirm it is within weight limits for the postage already paid, and then give you your special delivery receipt with tracking number.

    The second set of bags, and the ones being talked about here are still special delivery bags but are not prepaid and again need to go to the PO where they are weighed, postage for special delivery will be paid, and then , and only then, will you get your special delivery receipt and tracking number.

    The thread suggests that these 'free' bags be used wrongly, ie turned inside out and then taken to the PO (or put straight into a post box) after adding ordinary postage, not special.

    Moe, if you just put the bags in the post with no postage you were very fortunate to find a postman not bright enough to spot that no postage was paid. What should happen is that the buyer woul dget a card asking them to pick up a package from the sorting office, where they would have had to pay full postage costs plus a £1 handling fee.

    Oh. So much clearer now. Thanks Soolin.

    Mine were prepaid then, because they had a tracking number on the back and the guy and the counter didnt say anything. So they must have been prepaid.


    Thanks Soolin,
