I bought something off april77.fr a couple of days back, but I messed up my address. I've just moved into a new flat, and I completely forgot to put the street name down. The building that my flat is in has a pretty specific name, and I put that down along with the post code. Shouldn't be a problem right?

Any fukers in the US know the cheapest it should cost to mail a shirt w/ tracking + insurance to UK?

As far as I can work out on the USPS website it's about $30 minimum?

You'd think that as they'd oly have to look at other mail going to the same name and work the address out from that. But it will probably be returned (I run an online business and loads of stuff gets returned to me when bits are missing from the address)

Shryke, send an email to April77 and explain that you've entered the address incorrectly. If they haven't sent it out they will most likely correct it then, if it's sent out they will have to contact the courier and a driver or someone at the depo will do it.

edit - just realised the French bit that might be a problem

Just received a letter my claim has been rejected stating the item didn't meet the requirements for packaging. I want to dispute however, has anyone had any luck doing so?.

They just sent me a link to www.royalmail.com/packaging.

Now the glasses were damaged but the frames and the case which was very strong in the first place looked crushed. The case were bubble wrapped and then packaged in a cardboard small box.

Anyone know the score with packets going to the USA at the minute?

Royal Mail website says there are delays, but when you go to the International incident board for more info it says there are no issues with the USA Puzzled

I sent something to the USA 10 days ago via Airmail International Signed For and it still doesn't have a scan on the other side of the pond.

not Royal Mail, but this is the most suitable thread.

Just had an email from UPS saying that they tried to deliver a package today (from Thecorner) but no-one answered. Weird I thought, as it was sent to my business unit, which has people in from 8.30am till 9pm.

Clicked on the link to be told attempted delivery was at 6.53am this morning.

What fucking cretins try to deliver packages before 7am? Wankers

Is there anything similar to the Royal Mail price finder that would give me prices for sending parcels internationally? Selling stuff on eBay at the min and had some interest from Malaysia and US but need to give estimates for cost. Anyone know how much it'd cost to send a 500g parcel to US/Malaysia, or a 250g parcel to US/Malaysia?
Thanks
