4 in 10 Customers Are Wrong

"4 in 10 people use the wrong postal service" shouts The Post Office's website and display posters. Meaning you sent your parcel second class when you could have used standard parcels, or standard letter when you should have used large letter or Special Delivery when Recorded would have been all right. Meaning you need to check with an assistant before dispatching your package.
It's a strange business that blames the customer for getting it wrong. Most of us would say the blame lies with the Post Office making their charges too complicated. Can you imagine a commercial business finding it acceptable that 40% of their customers find their ordering process too difficult? At Your Life Your Style, it's a flat rate for delivery of orders worth less than £40 and free carriage on anything else.
