Post Office News;
We are coming into our busiest time of the year, so please help us and the people behind you by putting on the “Airmail” stickers on any overseas post, and the “Customs” label on anything that is not a card, letter or printed paper not going to an EU country, this includes packages to Switzerland, Channel Islands & Norway, BEFORE you get to the counter! We do not have the time to stick your stamps on for you either! ! Please remember to tell us if you have perfume, phones, batteries, aerosols, nail polish etc in your parcel; we have to put special labels on them!
Please note that the last collection is 4.45pm, and all Special Delivery must be in by 4.30pm, to give us time to process them, (on a Wednesday & Saturday its 10am!) The last Parcelforce collection is 2.30pm (or 10.30 on Wednesdays only).
