T48 Parcels: A Note of Caution

 As an Ebay seller I rely on the Post Office and Royal Mail [unsure of the difference these days!]. Its my choice I know so I have to accept the consequences.

One recent foible is the new T48 service. Its a two-day tracked post for parcels. The tracking kicks in when the parcel is delivered.

Normally it costs around £3.70' ish I think for a second class parcel. 

Alas, I got stung with its other add-on this week, the signature! I didn't know about the signature!

I hadn't realised I'd been charged over £5 for T48 because the sub-postie automatically bolted-on the Signature option!

This meant I lost money on the sale.

I only discovered it when I got home and checked the Proof of Postage.

Just one to to watch out for if you use T48 here in the UK!

Grrrr!
