Thats why I usually put sellotape over the address if I have printed out a
label,although usually I just write it with a pen .

Good grief

What a palaver.

This is why professional delivery organisations supply little plastic
stick on envelopes to take the label and any other documents.


Why is it a palaver ?
As I said .
" although usually I just write it with a pen "

I shouldn't need to worry about their logistics issues. It should be
possible to read their specs. for delivery requirements (e.g. weight,
dims, value, origin) write it on the address label, call them and
that's it.


Ha..You don't want much ..You prepared to pay for all that ?

These people are paid to deliver a service. The customer should not
have to think about the postman's wet weather arrangements.


Well some of us DO think about other things apart from themselves and anyway
it's my letter so if I choose to protect it's delivery details from getting
obliterated by rain then that's my choice .


All the time that customers go on accepting this nonsense from Royal
Mail, they will never improve. In reality, they are the Austin Rover
of the communications industry. Trading on past glories and living on
delusions of grandeur. It would be far kinder to kill them off
now rather than to see their inevitable slide into oblivion.


Nonsense .
