The Past 6 Successes have come back DAMAGED!!

Unread post by EmmaSheree »

Hi,
This is a sort of rant at the postal service.

Today i recieved my 6TH autograph to arrive damaged!

These are the autos that came damaged:
Lord Alan Sugar (Send in a BOARDED envelope)
Jason Earles and Phill Lewis (Sent in a Normal envelope)
Sonny with a chance PP (Normal Envelope)
Karan Brar (Normal with Plz do not bend on)
Storage wars photos (Please do not bend writen )

They where all Bought/Email successes so i had no control over what envelope the sender uses.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happeneing again?

I think its where the Postie Shoved them through the letter box but im not sure.

Any advice on how i can prevent the autographs from coming back damaged.

It's probably your post man or post office, recently all of mine have come back fine (touch wood).

Maybe stick a note into your window near your post flap thingy in the door saying "PLEASE DO NOT BEND LETTERS"? You will probably have to go and collect them at your local post office as they won't deliver them, but it might be worth it.

I don't know if you can do this in the UK. My friend bought a bigger mailbox because he was tired of seeing his photos bent.

I'd file a complaint for each item with your postal service.

If they have them were you are, I would get a P.O. box, that way they dont need to stuff anything in the mailbox
Feel free to pm me if you need a postage price for mail involving the USA, or if you need to buy US stamps(foreign cash accepted!)

PO Boxes in the UK are quite expensive :neutral:

i'd go down to the local sorting office and speak to the manager and complain about your postman thats what ive done when mail has came damaged etc..
a po box is around £80-ish a year but least it saves getting autographs damaged :)
