Help - i think my freebies are getting thiefed

KatieKins

I reckon loads of stuff gets nicked at Christmas. I think the trick (if you're sending anything) is to not send it in a tiny box which could be easily taken! Put it in a massive box and pad it out lol!!

My boyfriend never receives any freebies either. He thinks the postman nicks them too.

Whats a meshcard?

to whoever asked -> Meshcards is a company that periodically gives out business cards that are sponsored by a campaign or product eg Tmagotchi or Sensible Soccer. The new sponsor is DomainMonster.

I second the_postman's comments, generally they're all good workers, its only a few that are lazy!

I agree If anyone is to blame is Royal Mail for not vetting some staff, they seem to take on anyone these days, they never use to be like that.

Most postman are honest hard workers, and yes I was one once, and I come across lots of money particuarly this time of year when people didnt post things properly or sent cash in envelopes when the machines would rip them to pieces. I always handed it in as I am sure most others do.

Thieves are employed in all companies, but they rarely get media exposure like Royal Mail do, oh and I aint a fan of Royal Mail either believe me.

Has your boyfriend thought that perhaps he isn't applying for the freebie in time? "While stocks last" and all that, ya know?

I'm sure, in fact I KNOW that most postie's would never risk their modestly paid job for the sake of a freebie that is worth what...a fiver?

Or rather the Government and PostComm for not allowing them to use enhanced screening/vetting perhaps?

My meshcards took about 2 weeks...

Maybe be patient for now.

Mine did too, they're probably inundated with requests, best to wait for a bit longer I'd say
