Dogcollars - they're in the post (again!)

A step forward in the dogcollar sage came about today as another envelop dropped through the post.
It looked like this:


So nervously I peeked inside and saw something:


So I took a look in the other end and saw:

Dogcollars !!!


Amazingly the envelope had been ripped (by the sorting office mechanised sorting equipment I'm assuming) and yet four of the six bits of plastic were still in the envelope (along with another delivery note) and the other two have probably jammed something somewhere (postal engineer scratching head and wondering what the heck these bits of plastic were).

Still, we are getting there :-)

ps. I probably made the tear a little worse as I wanted to capture the contents on camera - but not much worse!

Dogcollars - they're in the Post (office!)

Last September I contacted a clerical outfitters and ordered some 'dogcollars' AKA 'Tab Insert Collars'. When they arrived I found I'd clicked the wrong box and they were the wrong size and so I sent them back - never to see them (or the replacements) again!

having eventually sorted the situation I was waiting patiently for some more of the things to arrive (for how long can you keep making your own from plasticard and washing up bottles?). Eventually an envelope dropped through the door and, voila! (how sophisticated am I?) this is what I received:

Lower Right Hand corner of envelope
Lower Left Hand corner of envelope




Rear of envelope
Bottom of envelope
Interestingly the envelope contained a packing note/letter (which you can see in the tucked into the envelope on the 'Bottom of Envelope' image (bottom lefthand photo').

I've put this on here to:

a. inform the company I purchased the collars from,

b. To say 'Thank You' to the Post Office for making me laugh (I'm assuming that the envelope went through a letter sorting machine and the collars didn't),  and

c. To prove that stuff does get lost in the post (generally it's a great excuse that sits alongside 'the wife doesn't understand me!').

Please send any used 'fairy bottles' to the Parish :-)
