This one you brought or a package you received ?? Like the post office aint in enough shit at the minute. To be fair they will counterfeit anything now a days if they can make a few quid. In the Aviation industry there are so many counterfeit parts its unreal , Lots of planes & lives have been lost through this. Basically they dont care as long as they get money. 100's of planes out there with potentially failing parts that are about to fail , no doubt one will be fatal.

I had a note from royal mail saying I owed like £1.50 for a package as the sender had not paid enough post , Told them send it back !! They did I assume. I aint paying to recieve a bill !

Currently making my own bathroom.
A kitchen shop wanted £400 just for 4
Caskets … so I have been to the rubbish
Department of a kitchen supplier and they have allowed me to take from the waste .. just need to see what Frankenstein bathroom cabinets I can make from the unwanted damaged and wet waste kichen materials ..
But I think I have saved including doors etc… over a grand .. but not sure how it will look 🤣IMG_2445.jpeg

Will update how free cabinet project goes

Quite shocked how much waste that had!
Quite usable

Normally ali babba's stuff is China, I have never had a package from china with a royal mail stamp on it. Unless its come from a UK warehouse.

A fiver is quite a steep surcharge considering a 1st class large letter stamp is currently £1.95.

I’ve had the same thing happen to me previously (before the barcoded stamps were introduced). A eBay seller sent me a parcel which had a dodgy 2nd Class stamp on it. I sent the seller a photo of the package with the surcharge label and requested that they issue me a refund of the surcharge cost.

Had similar last year with a cheap Blu-ray off eBay, hadn't arrived after two weeks so contacted the seller who immediately refunded which I thought was a bit odd, a few days later had a card through the door saying I needed to pay a fee so went down to the parcel office to see what it was and it was a Blu-ray sized envelope with a fake stamp label like that on it. Didn't pay it and told them to send it back, guy there said ita been happening for a while which is why they brought in the new stamps with the barcodes.

It can be a genuine mistake from the seller though, spoke to a school this year and they had bought a load of stamps from Amazon, which they said they normally do And had no issues, but ended up being scammed and sent a load of fakes which then caused all the parents to have to pay a fee when they sent out a batch of letters with them.

But now I dislike all Star Wars but watch The Mandalorian with my son because he likes it!

But only with my subwoofer on MAX for the ultra sonic or whatever boom missiles that make the house shake!!! Ha ha ha ha!

Compromises, my son. Compromises 😆

Not you, him, if unclear 👍

So thats what guy on ebay was going on about, I didn't get a couple of Blurays arrive and he said it will be at the sorting office but didn't explain why, eventually I got a card to pay but already had my money back, then I saw another message from him about dodgy stamps off ebay :ROFLMAO:
