Does anyone know if need to post a parcel if I weigh it work out the cost can I just put the amount of stamps needed to cover the cost on the box. As got lots of stamps or do I need to take it to PO. TIA

Hiya hun
I bought loads of stamps just before the price increase in April.

I weigh and stamp almost all my ebay parcels and then take them to the post office as I want a postal receipt in case of non delivery and making a claim etc.

One way or another you have to either take a parcel to the Post office or hand in to a delivery office.

hi BP
thanks for this
on looking at T&Gs
found this
3.In-store customers will need to wait 3 hours after shopping at ASDA before using the ASDA Price Guarantee. Online customers will need to wait up to 48 hours after your homeshopping order is delivered before using the ASDA Price Guarantee.

They tried this a few months ago and there was a problem with VATable items on the compare

Something that was £1 INCLUDING VAT was shown as such for Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrisons etc... (assuming that it was £1 at these stores)

but it was appearing at just 83p for ASDA ... even though it said £1 on your receipt

An ASDA £6 item on your receipt showed up as £5 on the APG (and was calculated as such) if it had VAT on it, but £6 if it didn't.

Took a while for ASDA to realise and understand this (I made 3 or 4 calls and sent them receipt details) before accepting there was a problem ....

... and they then withdrew the 3 hour check the following day ....

.... then another week or 2 before fixing it so that the receipts that had APG checked wrongly could be re-submitted and recalculated correctly.

So if you do do this, I'd keep a close eye on the results , just to start with

MT thank you so much postie has just been (yes I know it's 4 o'clock!), me and dd will love picking up some new colours this weekend.

Not happy today went and got a game preorder in t3sco today to get 500 bonus points and points did not show on receipt so asked at cs and they said takes 2 weeks but when I asked on elite they said deal ended yesterday so looks like I have been lied to and done by mr T again.:(

Hi everyone, long time no speak

Hope you have all been okay. I had to take a wee bit of time out, things are no different but I missed you guys x

Quoia if you are around, you mentioned before about keeping your receipts, perhaps for 6 months (I think) can you let me know how you do it? I think you put it on here a few months back.

Well I guess I may get my get my hand back in me "shopping" too. Seems to be one financial crisis after the other recently

Have the new T&C's come in for T's yet?

Is the Orange juice in the fridge? Presume it is with saying fresh. Also how many different items do I need to buy to be able to do an APG with Asda. Whenever I have managed to womble a receipt, it always says I don't have enough items.

Welcome back FV. Hope you are OK after your time out.
