Grrr twice in a month! - UPDATE

Jaycee21

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:Second time this month that postie has given me the grey slip saying that not enough postage has been paid on a parcel - I know we enter these competitions to win nice things & I LOVE Winning, but these extra bit of unbudgeted money at the moment are not welcome.
I know its only £2.72 this time, but that's £2.72 less food, with my kids & having an Asda close by, that I get lots of whoopsies from, thats a fair bit to me.

Does anyone else have this problem?
This post hasn't come out anything like what i feel but sure you get my drift, just so frustrated.:o

OK rant over sorry

Was a car charger I won from FB The Car People I put a post on their page with in five minutes they had replied & emailed. They were very apologetic & are refunding the money. I removed the post, my idea, they were quick to act so only fair in my opinion. So all good again now . But thanks for your help & idea's. I know this happens quite often to other compers so hopefully your comments also help them too. :D

What did you win?

I've had this happen to me and have always had the money refunded from the company sending, occasionally they have sent a few extras to compensate too.

Why not try contacting them?

Good luck

Cheers sparky I might just do that when I've collected.

No idea what it is, I've nothing due from eBay, so not that, must be one few outstanding wins from WhatsOnTV & Car People etc.

I'll nip & collect it on my way back from GP's as its nearby.

I don't bother collecting as I think they should chase the company for postage not us.

I got a grey slip too today - but mine's only for £1.22 and considering a quid is the under postage fee then it was only 22p under...praying it's a competition win and not some un-needed ill fitting worn out kids clothes from some of our more 'considerate' relatives...

Went on-line to pay it as there's no extra charge from the Royal mail...and can't wait to find out what it is...

Don't know how you could possibly do that DUKE - I'd always be wondering....:)

I once refused to pay when I got a grey slip and went to the PO to find it was an xmas card that my "dear old aunt" had forgotten to put a stamp on. The postie said that I did not have to pay it so I left (muttering under my breath about the fuel wasted driving there). The xmas card turned up in our normal post about 2 weeks later :rotfl: still with no stamps. I guess the sorting office decided that it was easier to send it on to me than do anything else with it.

I had one on last week, it was some "free" sample for a newsletter signup from forever living. I wouldn't buy the 6 little sachets for Ł1.22, but I didn't know what it was, so I paid

I got the same today, 22p under full postage plus £1 handling fee. If it's a few of us that means it's probably going to be something on the freebie board that we all applied for. I paid it anyway.
