How picky are parcel force?

[Woogie]

My package is 2cm over the size they allow :(

[WezV]

it really depends howmuch you smile at the person behind the counter.  Obviously they are not supposed to give any leeway, some will because it wont be measured again anyway

[Woogie]

I was gonna go for collection at my door. Reckon I should get my older sister to answer the door or me in my eyehategod t-shirt with a beanie?  :P

I bet getting your sister to do it would make everything run a lot smoother.

Based on the high liklihood the collection person will be a bloke, get your sister to do it.

Could allways watch from the window to work it out and then choose who answers the door.

[Woogie]

I`ll get her to go out smiling haha. So do they weigh/measure it outside in the van?

[maverickf1jockey]

That would be somewhat impractical I would have thought.

[_tom_]

Dont think they weigh or measure it when they collect at the door. Havent ever done that for me anyway and I've sent loads of stuff through parcelforce collection.

So howcome I`m getting my sister to do it if the collection guy doesn't weigh it? If they are really mean and pick me up on it, it's ANOTHER £15 :(. Worth risking?
