I ordered from someone on ebay and they messaged me today stating they underpaid the postage by accident as they had another customer get a grey card with same packaging.
its been 14 days and no grey card has come through my door. do these things take time or am i going to recieve the card after the item gets sent to the return sender? there is no address on it so it will be opened/destroyed. They admit they should of sent t24 instead of first class but item isn't worth much
Thanks for any help its been 14 days now

Re: How long to recieve a fee to pay grey card?
Get down to your delivery office asap and ask someone there to find your item all surcharge Mail is separated
They may have 2 or 3 trays that have not been processed yet if it’s anything like my old enquiry office job this stuff doesn’t get touched for days

There is always that chance, but like it being misdelivered or thrown out by the resident in error its possible but not likely.feetopay657 wrote: ↑29 Jun 2023, 22:27I currently have a bad knee from surgery so getting to DO will be tough bud, is there any chance they miss sending the grey card out and it gets returned to sender? or will it eventuallly arrive but take time ? i am happy to wait as it would be painful to get to DO

Similarly we had a small parcel sent from a small business in our area, not enough postage paid, surcharged at the delivery
end, not paid/collected, sent back to our area and then somehow the original sender got a grey card, paid the surcharge and got the
item they sent out back having paid for the extra postage! Karma?

Re: How long to recieve a fee to pay grey card?
Nope card the same as it was with the code on it etc but the two stamps i put on have indistinguishable writting over them assuming they got cancelled. I am in disbelief if they have just redelivered it to me lolSpacePhoenix wrote: ↑23 Jul 2023, 11:30Any orange markings on it that look like a barcode?feetopay657 wrote: ↑23 Jul 2023, 11:21hey man thanks for response.
