Sun do anti Postie story without checking facts

No it was the fault of the jobsworth postie.
Whenever I get a surcharge for a customer I always check the letter against the template to make sure no error has been made.
And if I don't have time to do that I pay the surcharge out of my own pocket and take it as an advance against my xmas tip.

you pay it out yor own poket in advance of your tip, jeezo talk about crawling

I think it was sarcasm he was using. Mind you he should have used this smiley but it would have ruined the joke.

Mind you, you could also be using irony

I am getting myself confused now.

I think you should have to put a return address on by law and then send it back to the sender with the charge
i bet we have less mistakes, this has been about for 6yrs you think people would get the hang of it by now.

No, all unpaid and underpaid mail is then treated as second class so that's what it's charged as.
Otherwise the likes of Hillary Ruffles might argue the sender knew it was a 'large letter', meant to put 69p second class on but in error was 9p short.

I know most surcharged mail is treated as 2c because of the delay that surcharging causes. But that is not our fault, it is the senders fault for underpaying in the first place. It seems that by putting a 1c stamp on there it is clear that the senders intention is to send it 1c and so they have underpaid by 30p. Apparently in order to surcharge the 1c price we have to be able deliver the surcharge card the day after the item is posted. Since that is never going to happen we charge 2c price, unless it is over 1kg of cause.

they are charged at the rate of 2nd class
If an item had enough postage to cover 2nd class postage,then it wouldnt be surcharged
