Can you be a second class friend? Poll Discussion

If I'm posting to another address in my town then I always use a 2nd class stamp, as it will nearly always arrives the next morning anyway.

Whist we're on the subject of post...
Although its good customer service, I do think that its very inefficient that Royal Mail deliver to every uk address every day. I would be happy having my mail delivered just once a week, and then if I wanted to collect it any sooner maybe I could collect it from the local post office?

With loads more local post offices due to close in the next year, I think it's important to find a good use for them: so turn them into collection offices.

i rarely post anything, usually if you get a card from me its on your birthday night out and i am buying you a drink at the same time, either that or its through your letterbox

although i always used to send credit card payments 1st class- purely because i used to buy stamps in 6's from the supermarket and 2nd class were only in 12's

I usually tell my mates that they can either have £2 spent on a card and a small present, or no card and a present worth £2 more . . . guess which they opt for :rolleyes:

You think £2 a card is expensive?! You haven't been to Clinton Cards recently!

Can you be a second class friend?

Are you snobby about what stamp you get? Is second class more literal than economic? If someone posted you a birthday card with a second class stamp on it, Which of the following would be your view?

A. They’re cheap. The symbolism of first class is important. 6% (299 votes)
B. They’re savvy. Glad to see they value what matters. 39% (1900 votes)
C. Only fine if it arrives in time. If not, it shows they value money over mates. 54% (2622 votes)

I haven't, and I think £2 is a ridiculous amount of money for a card. It better have bells and whistles at that price! I'd be more likely to buy a card and a present for that sort of money (and even more likely to spend the whole £2 on a present and skip the card).

I couldn't care less what stamp is on it or if the mail turns up on time. It's being delivered by Royal Mail so if it makes it through my front door at all I'm relieved

Even if it is a birthday card, so what if it has a second class stamp on it and it arrives late? The person has still taken the time to chose a card, pay for it, write a personal message and post it. The stamp is just a means to get it to me.

long as the car arrives on time. Nothnig worse than gettin a birthday card about a week late :rotfl:
