    nope i had actually not thought of that, and my shopping day is a friday so thanks for the help :)

    also regarding your next point, either them to collect it or just say keep it, i understand that but i have had enough to do with this already i don't want any more responsibility.

    because i have a 45minute lunch brake mon-fri, my post office is 30mins away.

    i dont clock off till 5 and my post office shuts then. unfortunatly my life is 9 types of hectic right now and everything is just getting in the way of the next.

    Collect+ have drop off points open until around 10pm...

    PS
    Throwing up as many problems as you can in an effort to try and make a profit (or a free days holiday) from the situation would be looked at quite dimly by a court.

    when 40% of your wages goes to CSA and have to do a MORNING PAPER ROUND at 30 to make ends meet then im more than happy for you to tell me that i am putting up as many blockades as possible.

    Most sane people in your position simply flog the free item on ebay/boot sale. Immoral yes, but in this day and age one can be forgiven for it.

    Why 40%? I thought it was 15% for one child or 20% for two.

    What is the item your trying to return?

    Another example of where good morals end up costing you money....

    As a side note, is that what you said when you had X= 40% CSA kids?

    As a sider note, you could probably shave off some of that with your call centre roll (1k per month?) and quit the paper round (30 quid a week? When I was 16 I struggled to get 20 quid on 3 hour per day routes!) if you speak to CSA. Just sayin...

    1 kid, mothers a cow, wouldn't even talk to me about how much she thought she would get, then she started claiming and despite many failed attempts at getting CSA to take the money they wouldn't do it, three years this went on for.

    Now I have 2 years of paying 40% to make up for there !!!! ups and I haven't even seen my child or even know where he lives.

    Nope, I had one child with a cow of a women, who was cheating on me with a richer man.

    I didn't know this until my child says "daddy is outside" to my other half while I'm in the room.

    But i would probably still take her back if she walked through my door today. I really loved that !!!!!.

    But yeah the 40% is due to repayments (again, they're fault!)

    The paper round is £20 a week, that's pritty much the same as what I earn in 1.5 days at the call center after taxes/ CSA.

    The reason I bought products from currys/ PC world in the first place was to sell on and make a profit (which I did and more than doubled my money!) before anyone plays that card....

    If you collected the items from a local branch surely at some point in the next few weeks/months you will be passing the same or another branch so you could just drop it off at no cost to yourself and maybe try to claim fuel costs.

    The stores are all on retail parks that you are likely to be visiting anyway.
