    What is your point here?

    What is the relevance of highlighting the Post Office 'check and send' service?

    Do you think this is one of the 'copycat' websites? (If you do, you are wrong - but that doesn't surprise me).

    Personally, although at times in my life I've felt happy, sad, numb, & had goosebumps, I've never felt 'dump'. :rotfl:

    As much as I like jumping on a bandwagon too, that is good news. And I've just had a quick look, and it seems the same has happened to the driving licence websites too!

    Its still a paid for advert and to my own mind its still a rip off.
    I personally would never pay anyone to check my passport application.

    So it seems the question is what defines a rip off site?
    63 mortgage payments to go.

    Zero wins 2016 😥

    I disagree.
    The Post Office 'check & send' service has been in existence for many years and is actually recommended by gov.uk.

    And you can't use it if applying on-line so you have to physically - and therefore knowingly - visit a Post Office so you are well aware that you are paying for a 'value-add' service.
