I like the new Royal Mail postage labels :-)

Has anyone else seen them?
Instead of the plain white labels they stick on with LL on etc, they have made them to look like a large stamp :)
Errrr...come back later ;)

    I'm jealous, I had to take a batch to the PO today as I suddenly had a run of sales on Amazon after my daily trip to the sorting office. All my labels were the usual plain white ones, nothing special.

    Apparently they trialled them last year.

    We've had a couple turn up.

    I think it's a pointless gimmick, I'd rather they'd saved the money they put into developing the new style for something worthwhile (such as a training scheme for how Recorded works.. ie, get signature, upload to internet so sender can track the item), or had put their prices up by a penny less during the last increases.
    Back on MSE after a 5 year hiatus.

    That's really quite nice looking.

    Here it is. Pretty but I can think of better things for them to spend money on.

    I sent something worth just about £300 a few months ago via Spec Delivery.

    Went on the RM website to get tracking and got no where, so a week later I clicked the "request signature copy" bit, downloaded the form and posted it off.............

    A week later I recieved a letter saying they couldn't issue me with a copy of the signature as "no signature was obtained". Charming...!

    After lots of snotty letters back and forth I recieved a refund for the Spec Delivery postal cost :)
