just had to redirect a parcel to my local post office (couldn't be delivered, I was out and it's a signed for item ).
Again, I will be out for the next couple of weeks si, I can pop into the post office to pick it up (4 miles to the depot and no parking outside).
The charge has gone up from 50p to £1.50 :o
Our daughter & her OH make chalk boards & they have found it cheaper to get a courier service ::).
The GPO as we knew them were the finest in the world at one time.
Sadly for them. Mobile Phones, E-mail. Texting, etc has meant that all they do these days is deliver bills and advertising (not necessarily in that order either)
No one welcomes the Post Man with his bag of letters from loved ones any more.
Part of the world of change.
In the last two weeks I have had 25 letters not addressed to me personally which are marketing 12 which are addressed to me personally which are marketing and four letters for next door put through the wrong letter box.
