🧵1 Postal system in the UK is a stupid mess. 🎪🙄
Took parcels to to #PostOffice this morning, one of which is to go to London. #RoyalMail in the Post Office tell us the London parcel must go by #Parcelforce, which is in Duncrue Crescent in Belfast.
So, we trek into Belfast to eventually find the place in Duncrue - no thanks to #Google maps, which send us down a series of cul-de-sac. (1/4)
🧵 2 Man at the counter tells us ‘You must do it all online and label it yourselves, and we will only accept it here; or use another service like #DHL….
At least we were able to weigh it there…. 10.22kg. Local Post Office will take anything under 20kg, so we head back to the Post Office.
And suddenly, it’s grand… here’s the label, thanks for your money, and it will be collected from here by #Parcelforce [whose depot is in Duncrue Crescent]. (2/4)
