Well perhaps u should launder your cash somewhere else...was the ''Item'' measured in Kg's ?weeksy wrote: Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:59 am I'll second this with Santander. Someone gave me a pile of cash last week for an item, i had a struggle trying to find out where and when i could actually put the money into my account. It really shouldn't be that difficult.
Yes since COVID lots of little Post Offices have sprung up - even in our local Spar and are ''Open'' as long as the Spar's open - which is brill - but it was a couple of grand to bank and I didn't want to leave it in the PO with little or no comeback. Stupid thing is the local PO is / was next door to Barclays ( now shut ) and talking to the PO they were doing more BB deposits than the bank itself....Mussels wrote: Sat Feb 26, 2022 8:57 am Several banks allow you to pay in at post offices, but it needs a printed paying in slip which they don't all send out.

Trouble is, nobody ever comments when their bank is good. Why would you? It just hums along in the background, like your broadband.Rockburner wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 12:51 pmrecommend me a good one.gremlin wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 12:38 pm If you're unhappy with your bank, change.

I have a mate who uses Starling. No idea who they use for cheque services, mind. Interestingly, the top five banks in that survey don't have a branch between them. https://www.starlingbank.com/
If you want a branch network, albeit small, and personal service, you can do worse than this mob, though they don't do the best rates/fees by a country mile. You get what you pay for: https://www.handelsbanken.co.uk/en/ . Apparently they have really good-looking, wind-swept, dynamic, handsome employees....

The one and only time I've used bad language to someone in a call centre was a wanker at RBS. When I'd run out of swear words with him I got his boss on the phone and ranted at him. Cost me £80 in phone calls from the US which I eventually got back. I closed the account when I got back to the UK and went to First Direct. No problems at all with them.
Who are owned by HSBC. And there's the problem, in part. Being members of such payment schemes as CHAPS or Faster is expensive in terms of money, resource, compliance, etc., so invariably shiny, fresh new banks need to use the big UK banks for their services, so there's no escaping the monolithic dinosaurs.Pirahna wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 4:43 pm when I got back to the UK and went to First Direct.

I've worked there a couple of times and it was a strange place. I've worked for several commercial banks and mostly they are pretty similar because a good idea at one is quickly picked up by the others. The way RBS works is someone senior has an idea (or a backhander) and it is implimented, nobody who wants to keep their job questions it so the bad idea never gets fixed.Pirahna wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 4:43 pmThe one and only time I've used bad language to someone in a call centre was a wanker at RBS.

Is it your accent? It's hard enough to read it on here sometimes.Felix wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 7:30 pm Hermes. OK this is not there fault to the main issue but they are still boiling my piss regardless. You cant talk to anyone to find where your parcel is. Live chat is automated and teh phone option also what kicks you off as it cant recognise the tracking number you are trying to tell it.
Expect your parcel to get returned to you in about 6 weeks.Felix wrote: Mon Feb 28, 2022 7:30 pm Hermes. OK this is not there fault to the main issue but they are still boiling my piss regardless.

Ebay are just as shit but with them i pretend i am deaf and you still get an email option.
Anyway my parcel i sent never got delivered. Apparently courier was there but could not deliver it and its getting sent back to me. Sunday there was no change to the tracking online and half today. When it did change i wanted to know where it was getting sent as it never says so spend two hours going round and round. Contacted buyer again to show him the picture of the alleged delivery attempt and i get Oops. Silly git forgot to update his address with ebay when he moved house so at least we know what is happening with the parcel now but its still shit show for Hemese. First time i have had a problem with them but it will also be the last. Back to using the PO from now on.
