Heaven98 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Anybody stupid enough to post money in a card nowadays deserves everything they get. Why's that? Nowhere does the Royal Mail state "Unfortunately our employment practices are that lax that we've got a load of thieving dregs in our midst, so all you oldies out there who are used to relying on us had better just wise up 'cos it's not our fault if your ten pound to little Billy goes missing."

I P Knightley Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Good question. Do they have to declare it and pay the VAT as well ?? The postal service is zero-rated for VAT (or exempt VAT). Serious question, though. My old Mam's having to rush out in the snow and ice to cancel the cheques she sent ages ago for my kids. If the posties don't have a system to cash cheques, then I'm OK in telling her to take it easy - they're probably in a hedge or in the canal.

P-Dizzle Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The lady got a christmas card with a cheque in it the other day, it was properly addressed etc... yet it had still been opened. strange. Me too. We had 4 cards come. Two of them were long sort of thin ones and the others standard card size. The two long ones had been torn along the edge of the seal about half an inch along. Then taped back. One was from my auntie so I phoned her when I got back just an hour ago. Asked her if she had taped the card back up. She said of course she hadn't, she's the kind of person who would use a new envelope rather than give someone a torn one. My postie seems quite a decent guy. But this stinks of pish.

jamboinglasgow Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 One of my collegues at work had over ?100 of vouchers stolen through the mail. She got the letter, opened up and empty, chased down the postman who said he could vouch that the letter was opened when he delivered it (why he didn't take it back to the post office and return it to the sender) so she was able to cancel the vouchers and get new ones sent out but means she has no vouchers in time for christmas. Surely if there is that much thieving in your organisation you step up security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. No self-respecting trustworthy postie would thieve off the public. But the ones that slice open envelopes are not trustworthy and if they respect themselves, they have a pretty low respect threshold. Are they always caught? How do you know that? Maybe others just don't let you into their circle as they know you're so righteous? Back to the original question. The bad apples, the ones that are caught... do they ever let on whether they have a system for cashing cheques or is it cash only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also do the same to postal orders Correct, unless they are also running some sort of system whereby they are accessing individual personal data as well, and reproducing it before presenting the cheques.
