Dear Doug,
I have noticed no difference in form filling in for ParcelForce International Non Guaranteed Service. Are you getting confused with Royal Mail Overseas Parcels and Parcelforce? These are two different services broken up by our Blessed Lady Margaret so that they could be privatised easily.
Parcelforce always made you fill in the red, blue and green form for International Standard or International Economy services.
Only this morning I sent a tricycle conversion set to a handicapped American rider using this service and noticed no change in the forms?
If you need any help in sending stuff please contact me as I know it gets very confusing for us old-uns, I am no expert but do avail myself of these postal services occasionally.
Have enclosed the two relevant websites. If you book ParcelForce via the internet it's generally cheaper.
Best grab a handful of ParcelForce forms next time you are in the PO to save time and protect yourself from antagonizing the stressed out individuals who always seem to be in the queue when I am in the Post Office.
Hope this of help.
Kind regards Frank.
