Is that due to Brexit Sarge?Post Brexit Britain ... the down side 1) A good friend of mine had 3 packages (each containing rare vinyl records) arrive by post today , 5-6 days later than they usually take, all three came with what may end up being referred to Pritti Tape resealing them after theyve been opened in transit. One containing a very rare 45 , which was bought a in Mint minus condition (for over £1000 plus £30 insured postage had a deep cut/gouge about 1cm from the edge of the package approx 5mm long, deeper at one end, rendering the 45 unplayable!!! - it seems the nosey border agency used a stanley knife and took absolutely no care when opening the package. Yes its insured, yes eventually he'll get reimbursed, but that isnt the point (the point that did the damage appears to be on the stanley knife), the point is they have Xray machines so need need whatsoever to open an insured package clearly ( if xrayed) containing a record. In another of his opened packages was a rare vinyl LP in Mint - condition with a pristine sleeve , or it was when purchased (for £200+ insured postage), after opening the package it appears little care was taken to reseal the package as the border agency reseal tape was stuck to the album sleeve, causing a sizeable tear to the previously pristine album sleeve artwork- irreversably damaging it. Again an insururance claim should, eventually, reimburse his outlay. Again the Xray machine would have been all that was required IMO
Unnecessary bureaucratic red tape was what Bojo and his Brexiteering cavaliers proclaimed they would put a stop to ... Another Bojo lie it appears

Unopened as yet, third package intercepted and opened, then resealed by Border Force , with Pritti Patel calling the shots!
hopefully with no damage???
*Edit. 2 with seriously damaged content, 3rd time lucky, the content of the third package (above) was actually undamaged!
I thought that not a lot changes until the end of the year.
I have known people who have had problems with postage from the EU before now.
I am genuinely interested in why Brexit should make much difference in post coming into the Country?
