    Sixth Anniversary
    I had to send a cube today and the piece of paper said that I must not say what is inside and only to say ''There are no prohibited items in the parcel''... WELL, I just had a massive argument with the woman behind the counter at the Post Office. She demanded I told her what was inside. I said there are no prohibited items in it and she said ''It is not coming over this counter until you tell me what is inside''. I just said ''Ok, its cardboard'' and she said ''what'' and I repeated myself and she said OK. She gave me a shifty look and said ''Its very light'' and I said ''I know, its cardboard.''

    Anyway, she took the item but was very very weird with me. She can't open it can she? Because she looked like she didn't believe me whatsoever.

    What does everyone else say when asked what is inside your parcels?

  • A word of warning to anyone saving up their L2S vouchers.

    They have an expiry date on them.

    I have just found £30.00 worth of them whilst going through my deceased partner's belongings, and they expired last year.

    I wonder if there is an appeal process, or should I just forget them?

    I didn;t know that,thanks for the information.
    Rather than appeal I would just email or phone l2shop and ask them if they would be willing to exchange them as you were unaware they had an expiry date.

    Sorry about your partner x

    I had the same problem a few years ago when I found some old expired vouchers. I contacted L2S and they were very helpful. I had to pay a small service charge but they replaced the vouchers with new ones.

    I checked the expiry date on mine when I got them and think they were all 2017, so looks like they last at least 2 years. Good to know they replace them if they expire before we use them though.

    Blast. Just threw one for a tenner away because it was out of date. I just presumed they'd say no if I asked to exchange them.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I may have posted this before but I always say (very loudly) that it contains a Sex Toy. That usually shuts them up.

    Could lead to an interesting conversation about the type of battery and whether or not it is an integral part of the toy?

    I had some expired L2S vouchers last year, contacted them and they wouldn't do anything because the amount was under a threshold apparently. Can't remember what the threshold was but I had £50 in expired vouchers.

    Thank you to all those who post competitions!:beer:

    True, but it might also indicate too much knowledge on the part of the counter assistant :eek:
