Royal Mail Policies

[MattN]

Have they got a new policy regarding paintball? Having some trouble with them. Are they assuming anything that may have anything to do with paintball, may have gas in it so are taking extra precautions= extra time taken? Could be why a few people are having troubles

Wouldnt think so, since when you post something off, they just ask for the value, not whats inside it

Think its just Royal Mail playing up

or people being tightwads and not sending things special delivery or recorded - never have a problem with those services

You mean you sent off yesterdya at 9am, and so should be at place for lunch time today?

Your talking of only 1 hour late lol, not really the end of the world, if its to the other side of the UK

Nope sent on the 28th from Jersey. They sailed it over though cos they think it had gas in it???

EDIT: and no it wasnt an air tank. Contained egg and trousers.

If the bottle was sent with the reg or on/off attached to it, I would not blame them.

Edit: But with the weather being poor at the moment, they probably did not want to risk flying to the main land.

In all the things I've sent through Royal Mails, next day thingy.

I've never once been asked whats in the box/Jiffy Bag etc and were talking of 100+ times

Only had one or two problems where items have been a few days late, nothing more

Fair enough, im just unlucky it seems.

Royal mail are not shipping markers from time to time as well.

Bought a marer from Budgie a while back and it wason a pre 1pm next day. Arrived a couple of days later after me fearing the worst thinking it was lost.

When it arrived it had big orange stickers all over it saying 'Not to be transported by Air'
