I once received (I think in 2013) a letter from England, which had only a 1st class stamp, and it took a month and a half to arrive to Slovenia. Royal Mail put a sticker on the back of an envelope stating that because of insufficient postage, it might take longer for mail to arrive.<br /><br />Another matter, which is not right on the topic: I was unpleasantly surprised when I have not received cards, which I had sent to London SHC for postmarking in September--because I put 1st class stamps onto the cards, I enclosed a self-addressed envelope WITH sufficient postage (two 1st class stamps). I understood that I only need to put 1 GBP stamps to cards if I do NOT pay for return postage. But in this case, I had. And the SHC returned me only the envelope--EMPTY envelope. NO CARDS! And the empty envelope was bearing a ST Paul's Cathedral's postmark--like they wanted to tell me, that they burried the cards...AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-15668099234955371762015-11-30T22:29:16.310+00:002015-11-30T22:29:16.310+00:00The sticker there appears to be an old one - I don...The sticker there appears to be an old one - I don't think Royal Mail use that serif font wordmark anymore, and the 0845 phone number has been replaced by an 0345 one.

It seems that mail is logged in the system along with its location in the office, and a similar label attached - the idea presumably being that it's quicker to locate items. (Unless the office's internet connection goes down, as has happened twice at my local office recently when I've been to pick something up - they deal with this scenario by closing the front door and telling people to go away)martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383993686053030023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-21311324160496002482015-11-28T13:11:40.115+00:002015-11-28T13:11:40.115+00:00Hello.

Are there any information about undercharged mail to international destinations?<br /><br />During the 2000-2010 period, I saw two postcards franked with 1st class stamps although sent to France. Both were delivered without charge by the French post. The delay was explained by Royal Mail either by a large round cancellation in 2001 and the other in 2007 by a peelable sticker on the picture side of the card.<br /><br />The messages seemed to imply a cheaper route than airmail or method were used (maybe: here is the bag of underpaid international mail, we'll process it when full?).<br />Sébastienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674101477168730912noreply@blogger.com
