La Poste

Last year, when we visited the post office to post our Christmas parcels, we had lots of forms to complete, and it took over an hour. Things have progressed slightly this year, as they now need completing via a kiosk. It’s actually quite good. The kiosk weighs the item, you enter your La Poste account details, then you key in the parcel details, including information on the contents. It then prints out four copies of the customs form, the stamp, and your receipt or proof of posting. The great thing is you can keep going with the one transaction for each one of your parcels. The not so great thing is, there was only one machine, and when we were finally finished the queue was horrendous.

I couldn’t get out quick enough!
