I understand that the 'extras' you mention are often forgotton but with it having just a normal stamp on - not a post office printed one I can only imagine that they have simply gone to the end of the road and put it in the nearest post box. I understand what you mean nikki but still feel that even when I put postage on an item on ebay I think I have to do the best by the buyer as they are buying the product from me. They simply put the item in a normal DL envelope and posted it.
