[bcab] Re: Articles for the blind

Hi Andrew

Some time last year, before I moved from Scotland, I recall that Tapesense sent 
me their catalogue in print, and wrote Articles For The Blind on the envelope 
by hand.  My son  went to the Sorting Office for me and had to pay £1.40 
postage that the postman requested because he said it wasn't valid.

I took this up with Tapesense, and advised them to use AFB labels to avoid this 
happening to other people.  So perhaps you aren't recommended to do this 
without a proper sticker.

Hi,

 

Does anyone know with AFB if you can just print out an envelope and write 
Articles for the blind on this, or do you have to use one of the stickers that 
RNIB sell in packs?

 

I have been doing the former for a while, and usually get stuff through, but 
lately have had stuff returned as not qualifying (mainly CDS which are 
specificly for VI people and contain VI specific content).

 

Thanks.

Andrew.
