Your letter will be witheld from delivery and a surcharge card will be delivered to the recipient.
When/if this surcharge is paid your letter will be delivered.

You will have paid 32p ( 2nd class ) or 41p ( 1st ) which is 19p or 10p short of the 51p for a 2nd class large letter so the adressee will have to pay £1.19 or £1.10 which includes the £1 surcharge fee. :sad:
It's no good complaining as Royal Mail will reminding you that it's the sender's duty to ensure that correct postage is affixed prior to posting. :sad:
