    If you post an important letter without a stamp on it..

    What can you do?

    I'm a right fucking divvy. I posted a £30 fine and right as i dropped it in I realised. I've taken down the number and post code of the post box, but please tell me they won't throw it out? It's a £60 fine if I don't pay up.

    i think if postage is insufficient, royal mail send the recipient a notice saying that they have a letter/parcel waiting at the post office, and that they have to go pick it up and pay the difference.

    unlucky :dunce:

    The company you have sent it to will recieve a surcharge(a card charging them for the mail), they will pay it but sometimes companies let them build up until there is £10 or £20 worth to pay before doing this:)

    I got a letter that had 4p too little postage paid. I'm sure I can stretch to that but the extra £1 admin charge had me fuming a bit.

    Yeah, I used to issue them when I worked for Royal Mail, with businesses they only pay the postage that is missing tho.

    The franking machine at work wasn't printing the postage amounts right a few months back and all our customers got charged for the postage! They only had to pay the postage though, there was no other charge :D

    Before I started working from home our office used to have a franking machine. I thought it would be a good idea to frank a load of labels for personal use.
    Almost got busted when the PO contacted work to say that a load of stuff with our company frank wasn't being posted from our office at Team Valley.
    Lucky they didn't localise it to the postbox at the end of my street.
    Crime doesn't pay, you've been warned.
