If it's your job to write the cards, and you are efficient enough to effectively highlight errors in the R&P then in order for self-improvement in the service should those items not be returned for reevaluation?
If they don't know that they are making errors then an assessment of the procedures which caused the problem will never be rectified.
The items are already delayed in the first place so you want me to send something that should've be charged and therefore shouldn't have been delayed in the first place, back to our local MC to get reassessed, delayed further and for them to decide that I was right in the first place?

Would you like a few days extra delay waiting for your item that had the correct postage on in the first place? I'd say I was wilfully delaying the mail if I knew there was nothing wrong with it but decided to send it off somewhere else instead of to the address.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?
