He has to go the extra mile as you live in the *rse end of nowhere!

one of mine ,well two actually fac/sgc went walkabout a few yrs ago only going inside manchester somehow ended up in ireland where it is by now an irish citizen, absolute joke our postal service .

I think all mail lost by Royal ends up in N Ireland for some reason.

'Special Delivery, Guaranteed Next Day by 1pm'?

My arse. I sent my FAC off to an RFD on the 29th (against my better judgement, I may add!) To ensure it got there safely I paid a Kings ransom in postage of £6.70. A full 7 days later it STILL hasn't been delivered, and the tracking information hasn't even been updated. So my FAC with my personal details, address, and details of the firearms I possess is now floating about in the ether, waiting for some knucklehead mouth breather to get his finger out and do his job.

Am I alone in thinking this is utterly appalling service? No wonder Royal Mail don't have a contact number to allow you to speak directly with a human.

This is exactly why I consider the practice of posting your FAC all over the country to be a ridiculous idea. I'm fuming

I'd get refunded the cost & request uts whereabouts. Your reciept is your proof of contract

just to say the Parcel I sent out yesterday arrived at its destination this morning without any problem, sad though as it was one of the best knives i ever had, and a shame to let it go, but it shows Royal Mail aint all bad, ( speaking as a ex sub-postmaster)

Glad it worked for you. Still no sign of my FAC at the dealer, no sign of a response from RM, and no sign of my temper easing off anytime soon . . . .

Bought a job lot of boat bits (shackles etc) on ebay - seller sent immediately and Hermes confirmed "in transit" - no further progress until tracking revealed "package damaged beyond repair" - seller refunded but I imagine the contents became a good Christmas present for someone in the organisation !! - Parcel Post and Royal Mail not the only ones !

No point losing sleep over it, I'd phone the licensing department and let them know.

If the 'old' FAC turns up before the 'new' one either shred it or send it back to the licensing department.

Yep, I'll give them a call tomorrow. Am I right in thinking a replacement is only £4?

Not your fault, you followed procedure.

Should be free.

You wait, I'll order a replacement and the original will drop through the RFD's door

 

[AN DU RU FOX]

i have a couple spare you can have one of mine.

Such is life...

 

[Woodsmoke]

Bloody typical.

I called Police Scotland this morning, having accepted that my FAC was probably lost. Paid the £4, emailed to ask for a replacement, and barely two hours later the RFD calls me to say it's dropped through the mat

You have to laugh

Bloody typical.

If you want to see the best deer of the season, put your rifle down and open up a flask of hot soup.

If you want to see a fantastic Trout, hand your rod to your mate for "one second" whilst you look for the next fly - he will be on before you have turned your back.

If you want to see an AA recovery van when you are broken down on the hard shoulder - just check your membership card to see that it expired last week.

If you want that really good bit of reloading kit, go on line and order it - then check SD to find someone wanting to "give it away" to anyone that needs it.

The Gods are cruel...

Did you ring back to cancel?

With an overdeveloped sense of humour!

I can just imagine them: 'Here, watch this . . . . . . 3, 2, 1 . . . . . . now! '
