has anyone had an item from postie today with incorrect postage and a fee to pay?

My normal postie was off today - she always comes in my gate and puts my post through my door, but when a relief is on, he don't come in my gate and just posts it in my postbox on fence - even if theres a parcel - he don't come and knock on door, just posts a red card in postbox without trying :mad:

anyway so today is one of those days with the dreaded relief postie.. found a grey card in my postbox saying they cant deliver my item as theres a fee to pay because of incorrect postage... its 9p short!!! :mad: so now I have to pay £1.09! cant believe they can charge over 90p more than the missing postage!
the card just says my surname and first line of address and then says A4 so presuming its an A4 envelope or packet - anyone else had anything like this today? hes not even put a reference number so I can pay it online so got to wait till I can get to the office which wont be for a few days I don't think! I will be fuming if its junkmail!!! bah!

Did you enter for any of the Craft tickets? I won 2 tickets for the hobby craft show and it came in a large A4 envelope?

It'll be something in a large letter sized envelope but with a normal letter stamp on it. The difference between 1st class normal sized and 2nd class large letter is 9p.

I had this the other week and got a bit excited, but it turned out to be a birthday card :-/
My s.i.l. had put normal stamp on it but it shouldhave had large letter stamp so they charged me the 9p extra plus a pound handling fee

I have had this twice in recent weeks, one turned out to be a card and the second was a cheque from the Daily Mirror!
