A practical session on sending a parcel by Royal Mail Parcel Collect

Still resting.
Thanks Bluebelle.

Very joyful.

Aarghhh. Helpful.

… and joyful too, I think

It will be, when it's done, I'm sure.

I hope all this isn’t a convoluted drug smuggling operation!
I can see the newspaper headline!
“How many Grams net”

1100g.
Does that seem about right?
Then 45cm x 30cm.

Sago.

I can fold the package in half, if necessary.
Just not yet.
No energy left.

And I can’t read your link Stardreamer as it says
It has Mooooved ( annoyingly)

The Gransnet one?

I just tried it three times and it worked here.

I did a refresh too in case it was cached.

At 1100 grammes it is above 1 kilogramme, so if the height in no more than 16 centimetres it could be a small parcel that is just on the limit of size

Small parcel

Maximum weight: 2kg

Maximum size: 45 x 35 x 16cm

But if it is more than 16 centimetres high, or it might be just over the 45 by 35 and you don't want to risk it, then it will be a

Medium parcel

Maximum weight: 2kg

Maximum size: 61 x 46 x 46cm

unless it is a bigger parcel size wise.

I would go for the medium parcel myself, but it is you who is paying so it is your choice.

It is not.

That’s a shame, I’ve alerted the authorities, I suggested the Adventurous Miss and the Star Dreaming Mr were clearly using this forum as a front!
I’m sure they will be very understanding and a prison cell in the forthcoming heat could be a blessing in disguise.

Thank you, ^stardreamer

I hope someone will bake us cake with a file secreted inside, when we're banged up!

Oh, and you're right I think a "medium parcel" it is... --said out the corner of my mouth in a "cor blimey guv'ner" voice.

??

MissAdventure I'll bake a cake for you and Stardreamer. File to be enclosed. Will of course send by Royal Mail, collect that's if I can follow the instructions.

Medium package?

Thank you very much!

[oh dear]
I have been using the Royal Mail Click &Collect service since the middle of the pandemic and I simply don’t get why it is made out to be complicated.
I have a package being picked up tomorrow morning , and it took no more than 10 minutes to follow the steps, pay for the postage, print out the label stick it on etc. Fair enough I have done it several times before but the system takes you through step by step.
Paul my friendly postie will pick it up tomorrow - and if he hasn’t come before I go across the green to have coffee with my friend, I can tuck it behind the plant at my front door for him to collect.

Well, I haven't used it before.
I often wonder why things on here are made out to be so complicated.

Cleaning skidmarks, hanging washing, choosing new expensive jumpers, and so on.
Everything is,easy once you know how.

I’m sorry MissA didn’t mean to sound smug - as you say, everything is easy when you know how

But as to cleaning skid marks (easy) sweaters , cheap or expensive (easy) hanging washing (boring ) - fortunately there is more to life!

How far have you got with it?

I just love the sense of community you can see in this thread. It's a joy to read.

How far have you got with it?

It's packed up and ready to go, but mad dog Magee (aka the lady who thought she would like "the stuff") isn't online and hasn't been in touch.
No matter though, because I've often wondered how the pick up service works, and now I know.
I could never work out how a label would materialise out of thin air.

MissA If your practiced at cleaning skid marks then a cleaning job in the prison could be ideal, I think you get extra privileges as it’s a job most prisoners shun.

Well, I would have liked a job in the library, really, but I know my place.
