Hmm just thought, maybe they've underpaid the postage on the iPad Pro and that's sitting down at the delivery office waiting for me to turn up with £1.50Wins:

Same here - paid my £1.50 before I realised what it was!They must have saved a mint on postage!0

Thanks for the warning - I've just received a £1.50 surcharge card so I'll ignore it (very unlikely to have been the iPad!).Hopefully if the letter is returned to sender they will have to pay an even higher surcharge !0

Fortunately didn't need to pay as it just popped through the letter box

That small :eek:
Definitely not paying for that, the PO can take it back and charge them £3 for the pleasure.0 -
Me and Mr GB received ours in the same post, separate brown envelopes and no problems.
Now we know where they came from!Worse things will have happened in the world today..."The only thing that really matters, it to love and to be loved."0
