In their ongoing quest to shut down post offices offer a great customer experience, the UK’s Royal Mail has been encouraging visitors to their website to print their own postage-paid labels. As the system is browser based, delivering the labels as pdfs, even hippy Linux lovers were able to use the service to post their Christmas prezzies around the world.
This standards compliance was too good to last. Following an upgrade, the labels now feature a big ‘Sample’ marker when viewed on screen: “‘Sample’ will not appear when printedâ€
