Hi Peter

They are treated as first-class post.

I think the thread has drifted a bit from the original RNIB online library to 
AFB postage, to DWP mail! (smile.)

Kind Regards,

I thought that articles for the blind was treated as first class post.

Yes that is true, but it doesn't come under the remit of Articles For the Blind 
so a different point really.

Dwp stuff normally comes 2nd class, which is worse, as some is time sensitive.

It wouldn't affect benefit claims because they aren't covered under Articles 
For the Blind postage, but I get the point that anything under the guise of AFB 
isn't considered important enough to travel through the system in the way it 
ought to.

doesnt that amount to discriminatory behaviour , the nature of which could 
seriously impact blind people in some cases(for example timely information 
about a benefit claim or similar).

Such as it will be now due to the Seasonal rush. Therefore it is not

Hi Karl

I don't know if it is just me, but the time taken to receive books
when we send some back seems longer nowadays than ever, and I don't
mean it just being the time of year either when we expect the post to
be busier.  We really only use the OverDrive service if our books have
gone back and we are without something to fall back on, but this is
very rare since we use Audible as well.

If you find something you want to request from the online catalogue,
choose the Add To Wishlist button, and it will be added to the list
you have created.

Hi,

After giving up on Overdrive I decided to go back to receiving talking
books through the post. I've got a list on my wish list but was just
wondering how long it normally takes for books to be sent? I don't
quite understand the books being available and putting them on hold as
I thought (wrongly it seems) that books would just be copied onto
media and sent. Life seems to get more complicated or I am getting
less competent.


Regards,

Karl
