It's that time of year...

...and the casual thieves are at work in the Royal Mail. If trading over internet be wary of 'super saver' type delivery schemes where stuff is sent untracked via royal mail (ebuyer, amazon etc) as postal workers and Christmas casuals have deep pockets.  3 parcels "missing" here.

I'm always a bit more worried about the seasonal staff taken on to process orders by online stores. I'm pretty certain that my card was cloned by one of them a couple of years ago.

I am currently awaiting a handful of parcels, but I'm not especially worried. They'll arrive eventually. I doubt any postal worker is going to want a roll of pneumatic tubing (finally sorting my breathers out), a thirty year old camera, or a mouldy lens for same!  :lol:

(The mould is only temporary. I'll be stripping the lens down and removing it)

Trouble is they have to open it to find out it's worthless and they won't be doing that 'till they get it home.

Pentax MV this time - I have most of the M series cameras now along with a modern digital K-m that I use more often. The older film bodies get a roll of black and white now and again, just for the enjoyment of using an all-mechanical camera and then developing film at home.

Matt, got a few old SLR's at home, never use them. Be nice to see them go to someone who might appreciate them.
Interested?

Also beware Scams that stick a card through the door saying "A parcel could not be delivered" they use premium rate numbers that costs over £1 min and are just scams (not genuine pacrcel companies)

Check websites of genuione companies for local depot numbers (not the website on the card)
