xmas and birthday you get a lot of cards but did you know that if they do not fit in your letter box you have to pay extra because the post office have a dummy letter box and if it does not fit all way you have to pay a charge most times its a pound so they put a small card in you letter box telling they have a card or letter for you held at the sorting office so off you go pay your pound you get your card now I wonder what would happen if after you have paid your pound you said now I wish to have it deliver to my house iv paid the charge now you for fill your contract what do you think they would do?

As far as I am aware, if the postman delivers mail or a parcel that is too big for your letterbox and if there is no one at home or if you haven't given an alternative delivery address to your regular postie (i.e. Next Door) then it will be returned to the sorting office. The fee that is charged must be quite new because I have never heard of it up to now.
I know there used to be a re-delivery fee of 50p where you could ring up and have it delivered the next day or a day that was convenient to you. I would imagine that this £1 fee is much the same thing. You can rind, mail or pay the fee via the internet and it will be delivered. I suppose that if you called in person and paid at the sorting office they would also deliver it if you asked them, but there would be little sense in that as you were already there.
Just one word of warning, I remember sitting at home one day and hearing the letter box flap open and close. When I got myself into the hall there was a card by the door. I found my glasses and read the card and it was a non delivery card saying they had tried to deliver a parcel but it was too big for my letter box. So I chased after the postman and said I'm at home so you can hand over the parcel to me. It turned out that he hadn't even got the parcel with him and he had left it at the depot because he assumed no one would be in and the parcel might not for through the letter box.
Well I informed him that it wasn't his job or anyone else's job at the sorting office to assume anything. If someone pays postage on an article then they expect it to be delivered to the door and they don't expect the recipicant to have to collect it from the local sorting office or to pay extra for the privilige of having it delivered. Needless to say my parcel was delivered the next day free of charge, and surprise, surprise it fitted through my letter box.

what got me was the fact that the card would have gone in the letter box and I pointed this out she said the card or the letter must go in the letter box regardless of the way you post it
what I should have done is paid the pound and said now deliver the letter via the postman that's what we pay a stamp for
