Keep my £1.19 and buy yourself a beer* to say well done from me. Thanks for organising.

*might have to be a half! or maybe a Brewdog on special in tescos

If I haven't received the feedback mail by now, should I worry that it got lost somewhere?

[Bobba]

Hi, mine's still not come through either

[Stoat on a rope]

None for me either, starting to think royal mail have sent it by foot...

[lancsSteve]

Same same here - think some post offices/areas take forever and a day to deliver postage sent without enough payment (that large letter thing is a right bugger).

Not quite given up hope but don't expect it to show up either - my sister in law did the same with wedding invites which were too fat due to decoration on card to go as normal letters

Post office nazis!! (The top guys that is, not the guys on the street, my postman is actually a great bloke).

I went along to my depot the other day to ask if they had anything for me and it's not in their pile of 'incorrect postage' letters yet.

Picked mine up today - large letter thing.

Cheers!

Ok, I have an update for those that haven't got feedback etc in the post yet. Royal Mail in a rural setting has proved to be 'interesting'.

I went to my local Post Office (again) this morning to see if they could shed some light on what had happened. Someone shuffled off, and then came back with a box which had been "missed for collection" which had 30 or so card-backed envelopes from the batch I'd sent out (these all had the right postage on them, it was just some of them that got shorted in error). I have reclaimed the bundle and have taken them to a larger post office in a town in the hope that this time the mail will actually function. Hopefully, they should arrive for people in the next day or two.

Sorry for the delays - one does one's best, but some factors remain beyond control.

:facepalm:

If you've got proof of posting on those ones, you're entitled to compensation for late delivery on those items as they are (way) more than 3 days after the due date. I assume mine is one of them - if you need a postmarked envelope as proof, let me know...

Likewise. Good work Ali, bet you didn't think you would still be working on this approaching November! I don't envy you at all!

Have you ever seen the form you have to fill out to claim the compo? I would guess that would have to be filled in for every one. I have had a few things go missing in the post and it has never been worth claiming.

[coatesg]

Yup-I've done it before many times... It's a pain, but if you've got 30, then it's a lot of money...

[lancsSteve]

finally arrived today many thanks for chasing that up Ali. of course if my post office was also my local source of cheese making I'd accept it as quirk of rural life not reason to complain and claim (presumably some offcomer would then admonish postmaster/cheesemaker and you'd never trust what the blue flecks are again ). no harm done glad mystery solved

[Bobba]

Yay it arrived, thanks Ali !

[Stoat on a rope]

Got it cheers Ali! Well done to the judges too, got some valuable feedback! Shame it appears all record of one of my beers disappeared.
