Guest five years Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 on a letter, does it equal 1st class?of have i just pissed my life away...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellchecker Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i had a hunch the standard of postage you received was due to the value of stamps relative to the weight of the letter/parcel. i'm probably wrong, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Nup, it'll still be sent second class, just means that you'll have overpaid on postage.I wonder what would happen if you mixed 1st and 2nd class stamps though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Denim.. Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 It will go as first class. It's the added value of the stamps that count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 of course, first class means nothing these days :|i wish someone could explain to me why it takes 4 days to deliver a parcel to london, for instance :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest five years Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 it'salongway?my instant reaction, obviously it's not true. most stuff is pretty good at being on time i find. if it's a particularly heavy item, busy period, doesn't fit through a letter box...what do you expect?

Guest tv tanned Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 I assume this is because you only have second class stamps in your house?A lot of second class mail actually gets delivered the next day I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 i dont even think first or second makes a difference. as tv tanned says a lot gets sent the next day anywayif you mix and match its normally just to get to a price. i worked for a craft company two years ago and when something weighed more than 60g's we had to write the weight down and stamp it cause 1st class only covers 60g's. but if it was going somewhere abroad you had to stick heaps of stamps on. we had a book that told you how much it cost for where is was going and the weight. and you just had to get to that cost or just over with a mix of 1s and 2nd class stamps.was a fun job.

PrincessHolly Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Post confuses me, I send things to my boyfriend in Essex all the time after 3pm and they still get there first thing the next day. But posting something across town takes two days sometimes. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 32p?Criminal!Pfft!!! *counts pennies* that's going to stop everything from being such nice round amounts.That's the plan, then you'll spend that bit on change on some useless crap that is also on sale at the post office... It's all an evil conspiracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I'll never be able to fathom the postal service. I can send mail to Sweden and receive the reply within a fortnight, but a package I sent to Italy took four bloody months to get there. Eastern Europe is a nightmare as well, takes longer than Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
