I know, it always amazes me what they let through. The most common thing 'wrong' with Specials is that the accepting PO hasn't pointed out to the sender that they havent included a return address marked on their envelope/package. Youd think someone paying for the Specials service would at want it returned if it ends up not called for/not found/unknown etc.

They are usually pretty good at working out where it should go,there will be a delay but you should get lucky.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
