The Post Office complains that they cannot make a profit ... and then make themselves too expensive to use!<br /><br />They also have a really good 'scam' going. If the postage on an item is not sufficient, they won't deliver it. You have to go to the local collection office and pay the excess and a charge for their time and effort. My wife had to pay an excess of 4p for underpostage ... and a £1.00 charge to go to collect her item!<br /><br />The book must have been good if you were willing to pay twenty times its price for postage!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-43936515968367596862012-05-01T02:22:49.516+01:002012-05-01T02:22:49.516+01:00I have been doing a similar exercise recently with...I have been doing a similar exercise recently with various history and gaming magazines - reducing clutter to gain usable space is a wonderful feeling! As to "I know that P&P charges are paid by the customer, but who wants to pay more for that than they do for the book they have bought?" - this a routine situation for folk in NZ, buying stuff from overseas. My favourite example was a purchase from Amazon - the book was less than $1, but the postage was around $20! - very good book though!Uncle Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00975932783227453858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-14445324146190257102012-04-30T23:19:10.928+01:002012-04-30T23:19:10.928+01:00Sounds like a great reward.
