smackumdown Posted September 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 just to keep every body up to date iv spoken to the post office again and im not the only one missing post apparently .and they are trying to sort the problem it seems like one of the offices here has had a major cock up .it does seem pretty unbelievable that ten parcels that iv sent have simply vanished into thin air iv got claims forms going in for all the missing ones I know about so far . the best I can do is refund your bottle opener and when it eventually arrives if you feel its worth it mail some money back to me . please pm me if that's what you want otherwise it a waiting game atm really sorry smackumdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smackumdown Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 After days of ringing royal mail Iv finally spoken to somebody with half a brain cell and he said under some new hazordous goods act brought in this past June they can dispose of what they like and it seems that if you havnt received your bottle opener it has been distroyed so il start refunding those that havnt tonight and until I get a way of sending these without this happening I'm afraid I can't send any more out . If anybody has any good ideas I'm all ears Thanks Wendon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J T S Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Checked the post today mate and no bottle opener! There's got to be a way of sending them surely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pazuzu Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Gits Thanks for the refund and if they turn up I will of course resend the money. Gutted. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbal Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I did wonder if the issue was a potentially 'hazardous' content-I can see why one would not want to mess with a 50 browning with bullet! (dodgy 'dum dum' at that!) Given that,what is of some concern is that some did get sent-so the postal screening system is erratic. Let's hope there is some legitimate way to get round this no doubt well intentioned,if inconsistent,system-which apparently has no follow up when 'live' 50 cal ammo is suspected/found in the post...very reassuring for homeland safety.Damn shame too if this nice idea (to us) ends up with £ losses to W.(thanks for reimbursement meanwhile.Hope you can sort something for Xmas!)

J T S Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Hi smackumdown, thank you for the refund mate, this must be so frustrating for you! If it does turn up I'll let you know and resend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smackumdown Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Thanks for everyone's understanding I'm hoping there's a way around this ie disguising them some how or something to that effect They aren't hazardous so I don't have a problem with hiding them in some way just to get them to people if anybody has any ideas please let me know Thanks smackumdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smackumdown Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 I think most are ruled by the same acts/ laws but its worth a go I suppose. I wandered if wrapping them in foil would help ?? I might send a few out to see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo304 Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I think most are ruled by the same acts/ laws but its worth a go I suppose. I wandered if wrapping them in foil would help ?? I might send a few out to see what happens Was always told to do this when sending cash, use a empty smarty tube wrapped in foil, bonus you get loads of smarties.

Roe Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Have you tried labeling the packages? "Not hazardous item. This is a novelty beer opener" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL. Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think most are ruled by the same acts/ laws but its worth a go I suppose. I wandered if wrapping them in foil would help ?? I might send a few out to see what happens When you've finished wrapping your .50 cal bottle openers in tin foil, you may be fortunate enough to have enough left over to make a hat, and this will stop the authorities from reading your mind.

smackumdown Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks to all for ideas il try sending a few out this week with labels etc and see what happens Pickup is no problem but I'm down in Cornwall so out the way for most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbal Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Wendon, Did the postal service have any suggestions about how to send these inert items? It mst be an issue for other items,perhaps they have a way of doing it.No one seems to have mentioned any such legitimate proceedures,if indeeed they exist. Maybe you did in your enquiries,but if not,seems sensible to ask the authorities for their advice....? Gbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiff Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 How far are you from Tiff's place? Could I collect one when I do the roundhouse shoot next? Rich He's a friend and not too far away. I would certainly hold onto a few for people if they wanted to collect them at the roundhouse in November....Or if free he could visit and deliver them in person etc. No problem for me either way if it helps smackumdown out.

Pazuzu Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Mine have just arrived re-packaged and with a letter from RM saying it went through screening as a suspect item but were cleared.

I'll resend the money later today Cheers! Phil Wendon,this seems more hopeful.Would a polite enquiry to the RM-you will know where you posted them-be helpful,to see if more of us might expect repackaged deliveries of these cleared 'suspect packages',and if so ,when,approximately?Even if they are coming,seems like a ' face to face' for xmas presents!-I mean ,risky to send them on to 'recipients'...!!
