TRYING to send my son two parcels to southern Afghanistan, I was informed by the post office counter staff that my parcels were over the two kilo limit.
I had to remove a bag of jelly babies from one parcel in front of a full shop of customers and paid for the tape to reseal the parcel.
I wonder if (God forbid) my son comes homes in a box, will they then check the weight of the box? This Government has a lot to answer for.
RW Lambert, Darlington.
