    D'you mean they actually OPEN people's parcels to see what's inside ! :(

    They xray parcels and suspect ones they destroy without opening.
  • Do you mean they open them?:eek:. If so, that's really scary. Big Brother lives:eek:

    OOPS ! :o

    SNAP ! :rotfl:

    I use a tiddly little one as well [like to give them the profit :) ] They only have 3 staff who alternate behind "the bar" and they're all different in how they deal with you.

    The one thing they all have in common is that it takes a huge amount of time tyo post a second class small parcel with proof of postage, because of all teh "proceedures" they have to go through !

    OK, time to admit my embarrassing story... I have been banned from a Post Office because I wouldn't tell her exactly what was in my letters and exactly why I wanted to send them by Signed For. The letters contained my dad's death certificates but I didn't really want to discuss that with her. It did get a little heated and resulted in her banning me. She actually told me I was banned from every Post Office in the country :rotfl: but fortunately she doesn't seem to have circulated my description!

    Oh how I wish I still MS'd Post Offices - I would look out for that one and travel 100 miles to do the MS for free :cool:

    Same thing happened to me at the Post Office before Christmas. One package contained 1 x 75ml of perfume spray, one contained 5 x 2.5ml of the same perfume spray. The 75ml package was fine, but the 5 x 2.5ml package wasn't. Here's where it gets even more stupid - I was allowed to transfer 2 x 2.5ml sprays to the package with the 75ml bottle in it

    They were gifts for two nieces so I had to send both packages to my sister and ask her to separate them and re-wrap!

    :eek: ...............

    QED ! :rotfl:

    Very mixed feelings as I really didn't want to do it in this weather but I'd have gone through with it come what may as I'd made a commitment. But I'm hopping mad that she didn't let me know it was off, I'd have been spending all day today worrying about getting the brochures and what tomorrow would bring.
    Thoroughly agree with you CBC - it really does seem very incompetent and rude.


    BTW - I love your chatty posts - so interesting and great to read :D
