Well, I think you should ask at the Post Office about that. Chivers may
have had an agreement with them that they could use AFB to send to blind
people, but if you are sending to a sighted person I don't think you can
use
it.

| I don't see why not, so just ask at your Post Office. However, be sure
you

| Hi all -
|
| When sending a parcel, is it possible to use an AFB label to send it
first
| class free post, and just pay the outstanding balance to upgrade the
parcel
