Fed up of postie? Help is here... (merged)

When it says that the posting points have to be within your home postcode area, does that mean your full postcode area or just the right city? I work full time, so I could post them from the right city, but not from outside my house (well at least not at the times that they want me to).

So long as you don't commute a hundred miles to work then you should be okay! The same county/shire is all you really need: "any post-box with a post-box id that begins with the first letter(s) of your postcode."

Many thanks - that's good news! :beer:

I wasn't sure if it meant same first letter or same first letter and two digits. I can manage same first letter.

I take it we have to return the magazines as normal then? I got Good Food today and my OH is pestering me for it.. I said she could read it over the weekend but she can't tear out recipes - she'll have to photocopy any she wants!! Also, it had no R number but when entering it on site they didn't give me a yellow sticker number - I guess because I entered issue number etc.. they don't need one.

I contacted the helpline when I started receiving 'Time Out' magazine - they said you can keep the magazine. You just need to return the outer wrapping to them (with a yellow sticker, if you are told to put one on).

They are for when you receive items without an R number (ie magazines) when you record it on the site it will tell you to wright a number on the yellow sticker and attach this to the item that you then return

Hi

I work too and although only a few miles away from my house the first letters of the postcode are different. I wrote to them to see if it would be ok and they were fine with it. So I have a postbox by school to use when I drop the kids off in the morning and also a post box and post office by work i can use.

I have been sending magazines back for a while now but have never been asked to fill in a yellow sticker. Do you have to fill in a yellow sticker all the time? So we can keep the magazines then?

Thanks

Nope you only fill it in if it asks - I've only ever had one to fill in but plenty of magazines to return ( I send mine back as they are all pharmacutal ones)
