    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 £1.50 :/

  • Just got a card through the door too...
  • Same here - paid my £1.50 before I realised what it was!
    They must have saved a mint on postage!

    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 !
  • 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.

    Me and Mr GB received ours in the same post, separate brown envelopes and no problems.
    Now we know where they came from!
