insufficient postage - anyone else?

I got a card through the door stating insufficient postage - but the amount I have to pay is £8.62!! What on earth could it be for that price?!

Has anyone else had an insufficient postage of late and perhaps could shed some light?

I'll no doubt pay it and find it's a pile of junk mail or something!!

On the plus side I received a book about Olive Oil too :rotfl:

    This has happened to me twice before , both times it was a win. I paid and then contacted the company and both times they refunded the money when I sent them the receipt. Hope its a nice win for you , and contact the company and see if they will refund.
    Many thanks to the wonderful staff at Birmingham Childrens Hospital caring for my tiny and very poorly grandson who was born at 29 weeks. Thanks to them he is getting a little stronger every day.:A:A:A

    You can ask to see it before you agree to pay. Maybe you will be able to work out what it is.

    At £8.62 - I know they charge £1 for handling, so £7.62, it has to be something heavy? Hope it's a fab win for you!
    Thanks to all posters :A

    i had to pay £4.52 for a letter from the dentist, they had forgot to put a stamp on properly, but post office wouldnt let me open it until i paid, got money back off dentist though. so dont get your hopes up too much, i got all excited and then big let down when i opened it lol
    Absolutely gutted and heartbroken
