Not worth a cracker as far as I'm concerned. As you say, it's a VERY hit & miss System that really has no advantage. Another thing I've found is the Tracking No.'s they give are no good & can't be tracked. My local Post Office always crosses out the Bar Code & issues another one...



Why would they do that?

 

If you are using the flat-rate satchels or boxes the postage is paid online and your PO just needs to scan the parcels as lodged and give you a receipt.

 

If you're using the Own Packaging option through C&S when you take it to the PO they need to process it as a Click & Send Regular parcel and scan the C&S barcode. The postage cost label prints out with a matching barcode number and you receive a receipt for payment and lodgement.
