A few days ago I posted in the classies looking for a 22mm beauty ring for a Provari v2.5 Our fabulous gill2009 very generously PMed me and offered to send me one free of charge and even refused payment of the postage. Unfortunately when it dropped through my letterbox today there was a hole in the envelope. Needless to say, all that remained inside was a piece of tissue and a lovely note from Gill. The postie (our regular who is as honest as the day is long) checked his bag in case it had fallen to the bottom but no joy. He advised me that if sending any object no matter what the value always use a box or jiffy bag as envelopes can be damaged by the sorting machinery if they are over a certain thickness. Good advice which I am passing on here.

I had a Garry Dibley drip tip damaged by the sorting machine, fortunately he managed to rework it, and last week they managed to lose a parcel I was waiting for sent 1st class signed for, been ten days now and no sign of it.

There's around 60 million packets, letters etc., posted daily. Pack anything breakable properly. Don't put odd shaped hard objects in a paper envelope. Common sense surely?
