Haven't used Hunts RO's services for a while, and have just now discovered that they (and Cambs, of course) have copied a certain budget airline by adding a "handling fee" of £2.50 for orders sent by post. They also now send you an order form for copies which includes a pageful of conditions which you must agree to. Gone are their days of simple communication and free p+p. 
Luckily their research fees don't seem to have increased!

Hi vbell
Don't get me wrong. Hunts RO have always provided an excellent service at a reasonable price. It's just that life used to be so simple.....  (Am I turning into a Grumpy Old Woman, I wonder?  )
Gillg
p.s. My local (not Hunts/Cambs) RO has introduced parking fees for what used to be a free car park, and increased the cost of their copying facilities, so I guess the pinch is being felt generally.

Kia Ora G.O.W.
Does that apply to the GRO as well?
I'm about to do battle with them!

Grrrrr (or whatever noise G.O.W.s make) Marlene!
Don't think the GRO have increased their charges, though they do charge a £2 handling fee if you ask for something that isn't correct. You only get £5 back! So beware, but having read your other thread, it would seem that they were the ones who made the mistake.
Best of luck in your battle. Sounds like a case of David v Goliath, but look who won there! 
Cheers cuz

Furious with myself for not using the local office but there you go!
Rained today - bliss! We've lost another Fairy - mother's favourite cousin died yesterday so our moods matched the weather!
Be in touch
