Hi,
I was at the Post Office in 34 County Road again today.
I had four packets for my web-shop, (I sell sweets like Glacier Mints to mostly Norway).
And I specifically asked for Certificates of Posting, for each packet.
Yet, when I went out of the Post Office, I noticed I had only been given two certificates, (and two receipts).
So I went in again, and the Post Office-woman who has been on holiday in Norway, (she told me once), wrote the address on the receipts.
And she told me that I could download a Certificate of Posting-form, from your web-site.
I said that was a good idea.
And I think I found that form now, when I searched on the internet.
So I'm going to start using it, I thought.
But anyway, I think that when I ask for the certificates.
Then I should have been given them.
If the Post Office offer a service.
(That is to issue certificates of posting).
Then they should do it properly, I think.
And the reason I want these certificates, is that once, some packets to Norway used long time.
And the customer contacted me.
And I only had the receipts.
How could I prove that I'd send the packets to the customer then?
The receipts could have been for packets I'd sent another customer.
I couldn't prove it wasn't.
So after this happened, I'd wanted to have the certificates of posting.
To be able to prove I've sent packets, when they use long time.
I think it's a bit wrong that I have to do this work-task.
Because sometimes post office-staff just makes these certificates automatically.
So I think that all Post Office-staff are meant to be apply to make them.
I think that the Post Office should do things properly.
If you offer a service you should do it properly, I think.
I've now sent more than a hundred packets with sweets, (from my web-shop), to Norway and the USA.
And I think I must have bought 'stamps' from you, for around £1000.
So I think I'm a quite good customer with you.
So I don't think it's right that you don't make the certificates of posting, when I ask for them.
But I'm going to try to use your forms now.
Even if I also have to fill out a form for the custom, so it gets a bit many forms now, so to speak.
(At least if there isn't a problem with my printer running out of ink, or something like that.
I wonder if I have to have extra printer-ink here now, since I have to print out so many forms now, for sending the packets, from my web-shop).
Regards,
Erik Ribsskog
