Can't think of anywhere else to post this where people will see it

Sorry about this folks...I sold tons of records on Friday as you can imagine, but the money I took, which I banked on Friday night, has been delayed going into my account because of the bank holiday, so basically I literally haven't got any money to post the packages until tomorrow (thursday). There are 32 packages to post. I just wanted to let you know about this as I usually get items to people by the next day. The only place I have any money is in Paypal - if I can get the right adhesive labels from somewhere, I can pay for the post via paypal and print my own address labels etc, that's if I can find enough money to buy the labels LOL

Anyway I do apologise, they are all here waiting to go but it does look like tomorrow now unless I can come up with some other idea.

cheers

Thanks for letting us know Pete............

Least I can do. Ran out of time friday anyway because the orders didn't stop coming in til after 7pm, never do post on a saturday, then there was a bank holiday so it would have been tuesday at the earliest - but no money in the bank. Thought it would definitely have gone in today

Pete, ever thought about printing your own postage labels with SmartStamp. I sell books (yawn) for a living and for the £4.99 it costs me a month it saves me a load of hassle, cueing up in the PO etc. I then drop a bagfull of packages at my local PO with the print out certificate of postage. When I drop next days packages off I pick the empty bag up with the previous days stamped certificate. Top up your SmartStamp account with credit card. I top up with either £50 or £100 at a time but can top up with any amount £5 or over. Paying for postage is then offset until next CC bill.

Theres one problem and thats that I send everything recorded, so although I can pay for and print my own labels, they still have to put the recordeds onto their system and I've now got 44 recorded packages for tomorrow so I guess I will be in the post office for about 90 minutes cos they won't take them off me, they say they're not allowed to!

You could open a tracked product account with Royal Mail. They will supply you with a recorded & special delivery book together with the stickers; you complete the addresses (use duplicate sticky label) and stick the relevant bar code /tracking number from the sticky label next to it . The books used to be in duplicate but nowadays they just have to run a scan gun over the bar codes when you drop off at the PO.

Pete, it's a pity you have jobsworths in your PO. I have a stack of recorded, Special Delivery and Int Signed For slips. I select the appropriate for package when printing the postage.

My PO has no problem with me leaving them to be put through their system at their leisure when the Q disappears. The printouts for Special Delivery etc just go in the empty bag alongside the certificate to be picked up tomorrow.
