Default Posting something WITHOUT a stamp?

My mate needs to post me something but his local post office is shut now so he cant buy any stamps, but one of his mates reckons you can still post it without a stamp and then the receiver pays ? surly thats bollocks but be cool if he can do that then i can just pay whatever

The reciever will have to go down the post office to pay and collect it though . The postie wont just give it to you and take cash .

A couple of times a year we get letters that instead of stamps got coins taped on to cover the postage.

You would have to pay the postage (26p??), plus £1.00 for the privaledge, along with having to go to the post office to get it.

I have a post office literally 10 paces from my house, but I have to collect mail from the one in the city centre which is 15 minutes drive away, the cunts.

i'm sure if he asked around someone would give him a stamp, or let him have one for 10p instead of buying a whole pack

Yes.

Strange how the Postman never took the money.

We save all strange letters that people send to work.

You should put a false address on the front and then write on the back " if undelivered please return to" . . . and then you put the address that you want it to be sent to. Probably very illegal but heard it works

Will probably take a while to get there so it would be quicker to buy a stamp in the morning

when they get a card saying you owe excess postage through the letterbox they can come and collect it

Depending on your delivery office, there is every chance you can pay the posty when he delivers it.

And depending on how busy the posty is and wether he's in a good mood, and even better he knows you, you 'may' get away with not having too pay full stop.

Ah, that explains why i got a letter with a yellow sticker on saying £1 something to pay because it had been 6p short and the posty had scribbled it out. Our postman's a legend, he signs for recorded mail for us and hides parcels when were out and leaves a note saying where he put them.
