Only on Wednesdays!

I had my mail arrive this morning and I had one to sign for. I signed as usual and when I open the letter I found the order form inside but no money. A better look at the envelope showed that the side had been opened and the money removed.

I had a bit of a stressful time phoning this poor guy because 1st class recorded doesn't cover money. If you send money by post make sure of a few things first-

- It doesn't show money when you hold it up the light (his did).
- If the sides of the envelope are also glued make sure you tape around them as well (he didn't).
- Only use next day delivery for money (he should have).

I've had a couple of my parcels never arrive in the past year and I remember well the Channel 4 programme about how bad Royal Mail workers are for stealing your goods. It's the first time I've seen this first hand and it is VERY time consuming and costly to both parties. The order came from London and my parcels that went missing were both delivered to London. It seems that London is the place where the Royal Mail workers have their own agenda.

Come on Royal Mail, get things in order!
