Dear Royal Mail,

If you're going to try and dun someone for £12 customs charges for importing a Heroes season 1 boxset from the US, you may find you are more successful in doing so if you withold said package, rather than delivering it with a big sticker on it that says in red type 'this package will not be delivered until the charges are paid'.

I see a flaw in your otherwise-cunning plan.

No love,
Me

ROFL!

I take back what I said in my lj about all the Stoopid People having to go away. There is a certain brand of Stoopid that can be quite pleasing - they can stay as long as they continue to provide economic benefit :-)

They can come out on day-release to deliver the post... ;)

No one ever said postal services were *intelligent*!

This cracks me up! Heh.

What scares me is that this is a standard enough piece of stupidity that they paid to have stickers of it made.

How else would we know that the package isn't going to get delivered unless the customs charge is paid? ;)

Hee! Do you think this is a new phase in the postal strikes? They don't deliver anything except the packages for which they're supposed to collect customs charges.

It could be a bizarre form of postal passive resistance... they're meant to collect money, which goes back to the management, therefore they just shove the packages through without doing so?

It's possible. The Post Offices charges some ridiculous amount of money for collecting the duty.
