weird recorded sticker

Post by korky »

had a recorded packet yesterday, it was a slightly different colour though and the barcode was invalid on the pda,
i don't carry the older signing sheets so had to pop it on a 739 to sign.
only thing i can think of is its an ebay seller popping fake stickers on to charge the punter more,
anyone else had these?

Had quite a few of them myself. Thought they were very old stickers but lino says they are new ones & should go through the PDA in a few days. Obviously not as this was over a week ago.

This is new & should start on the 02/04/2013 and must go on a PDA.

We have had them, and as from Thursday they went through on the reg cage gun, not sure about the PDA recognises it yet.

They'll be related to the 'new' products that RM are starting in April. Not seen one myself yet.

Can't believe RM didn't ensure they would work when the were started to be used. So unlike them. :left: :left:

If the PDA won't started recognising them until 2nd April why the hell have people started using them? :crazy:

Better if they put them into the PDA before sending out the labels because it's not as if there wont be old labels still being used.

Probably they've run down their stock of the old labels and RM will probably only issue them with the new labels. I've seen a fair few the last few days, the QoS for Signed For (Recorded) will probably drop a fair bit until RM get their thumb out of their ass and get the PDA software updated to recognise them
