Oh, I know, bureaucracy!! We're very lucky here in Kinnegad, we have lovely post office staff, really obliging and friendly. I suppose in bigger towns where there are bigger staff numbers, it's more likely to get people going by the book, but it does seem a bit mean not to let the parcel go, after all it has been paid for. At the very least the person should have been informed when purchasing the postage that it had to go out that day. 6 euro is quite a lot to lose
