    I think that this is an absolute disgrace! Royal Mail and better known as "Snail Mail" that's a well deserved nickname as the service is completely shocking!

    your postman knows EVERTHING about you and EVERYONE he delivers to.
    be nice to him/her you will find the service is actually very good.
  • I have a number of stamps from Christmas before last - don't ask, they were a gift. As it is obvious how much was paid for them despite the fact that they only say first class can they be used or would I need to use 2 instead of one to make sure the recipient does not have to pay a surgarge?

    If they say 1st on them then they are still valid for 1st class use and you only need to use 1.

    stamps are sold right up to every price rise

    "
    Stamps rationed by Royal Mail in run up to price rise" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17700013

    It certainly wasn't nonsense what I said, even if sales haven't been fully suspended.

    I placed an order on line with Royal Mail for 10 books of 2nd class stamps on Saturday - the money still has not been taken from my bank account and no delivery - and when I log on to my royal mail account - I am faced by "Error: Problem encountered - Display process failure"
    I have emailed customer services and received a response - that I should expect a reply within 12 days !!

    So - you reckon that royal mail will wait 2 weeks before dealing with my order at the increased price ?
    If this happens - there will be HELL to PAY !!

    They can't do that - if you put an order through and the confirmation said £x, they can't charge your card more without your permission.

    But they could refuse the order.
