    Did this really happen?

    Well I know it is in RMs new T&CS
    So I was expecting this thread sooner or later
  • Today I delivered a parcel with a battery in it all they do is put a sticker on the outside. I've also delivered mobile phones, again there was a sticker on the outside stating the contents contained a lithium battery.

    Why they destroyed the parcel I have no idea. I'll try to find out tomorrow.

    Funnily enough, if you browse Canon 5D MK II, there are sellers offering accessories with the said **two free batteries included**
    and this seller does so with "ROYAL MAIL" plastered right across his pictures:

    Incidentally, what are these sellers with ridiculous writing splurged across their ads going to do in the Autumn when it's not allowed I wonder.

    On second thoughts, as the poster is copying and pasting this over the net, there could be an ulterior motive. e.g. talking up the value of Royal Mail's auctions.

  • get returned or appear on eBay?

    Or was it the work of a troll after all?
    I am a cow so cannot speak Bullshine but I do recognise its smell when I come upon it.
