    the comment about the area made sense, ours all goes to the postal town first I assume anyway.
    I did have a query last week about was I sure the date and time was correct as it triggered two days later at 6:46am. I'm assuming that was the movement of collection triggering it?
    I was correct anyway. Last collection time is 9am, it needed to be posted Tuesday before last collection so I posted it after the bins went out late Monday night as I always do.
    clearly it's not being emptied as much as it should be but that's not my mistake.

    Thinking about it, we used to see mr Postie collecting and throwing it in the van parked on our street, before he delivered our streets post before going back to the sorting office in the van I assume. Now we get post anywhere up till 11.30 and I can't remember the last time I saw the van. Probably a sign of declining post. Like another poster, everything I can do online, I do. At least I know I'll get it lol.

    also. How long do alerts take to go? I assume everyone had one for the return of tags, because mine always get sent back next day at the latest. (Although thinking about it, it's the same post box they queried the posting test time) however it's showing as unread and has been all week.
    doesn't it go between different alerts? It's still showing as unread despite opening many times.

    Never mind its gone a week later 🤨

    I can’t see it’s been asked lately but has anyone any recommendations who to sell the stamps to? I have a lot and will never use or give away them all.

    I’m back on the panel and have received my first parcel to post next week.

    I haven’t yet received any stamps. Should I query this?
