Reusing Special Delivery Bags - Rant

Gleeful

Has anyone else had problems doing this? I sent a parcel last week in a reused Special Delivery bag (I like to recycle where possible) and the post office didn't bat an eyelid. I made sure I put brown parcel tape over the Special Delivery logo, etc. I tried to send another today and the SAME post office refused it saying it 'confuses the postman'!!!!

So I had to buy a jiffy bag

Is it just me who had this problem? So much for recycling!

Big silver bag looking like a special delivery. With the speed the poor posties are supposed to sort out the stuff I can actualyl see why this might be confusing.

Well there was that, but since the same lady gave me back another letter I was sending that only contained 2 sheets of paper and told me to put it on the scales to weigh it, I'm not sure she'd have understood my humour.

Without the SD labels and covered in packing tape? I think it's a poor do, what would they say if I sent it in a grey plastic bag that wasn't an SD bag?

post workers have their SOH removed at induction, didnt you know
same with Drs receptionists:D

"I like to recycle where possible". Yet you covered it in packing tape. A real eco warrior.
