    Never have a clue what time or postman arrives, unless they were to give a time for pick up it's useless unless you want to wait in most of the day.

    Kindest regards

    The same way you can already pay on line for items you take to the PO

    What can you do if you don't have a printer?.

    Sounds useful, but I rely on my local sub post office for all sorts of things. If you use the collection service they will get no credit (obviously) and I am told that if you use any of the pre-paid services, whether PO, PF, the Bay or whatever, they get no credit either, as they are just acting a drop-off point. If a sub post office drops below a certain level of business, it is closed.

    Everybody's circumstances are different, but if you've got a local sub-post office and value it, just remember - use it or lose it.

    Always looking for any cheap, interesting, knackered "project" guns. Thanks, JB.
