First I'll contact Amazon about this strange 'wossname' they've sent as a (what I presume is) a sticker to go on the box.

It looks like you'd need some sort of scanner to 'translate it'...(It's not bar code.....Just a white square with lots of tiny black squares within the margins) ...I don't think the local Post office will have anything that can read that.

I've sent stuff back to Amazon before, when one package went missing.....Which meant they sent me a duplicate package....Then the original package turned up a week later.

I got a 'proper' address label for that....and a bit of a form that went inside the package.

Cheers - Phil

Phil, sounds like a barcode, but just a different form. Have a look here and scroll down for the examples:

or https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code for general information.

It is.....

I looked it up, and apparently my little local Post Office can cope with it !!  (I asked, this morning...The PO is in the local mini supermarket...and open on SUNDAYS)

All I need to do is print it out.....Then OBLITERATE all the addy labels that are currently stuck to the box...so it doesn't come back to me....stick the 'GCHQ' code on the box, and it'll be sorted !

Huzzah !

Cheers - Phil

I believe that funny little box is called a QR code.

You can get an app (Program) for your phone that can read them and bar codes

It can be quite useful when your shopping  at actual shops for something relatively more expensive as it will compare prices and tell you how much you can get it for.

When we bought our last printer we were in PC world and scanned the bar code and it told us that it was £20 cheaper across the car park at Comet (shows you how long ago) and they had one in stock.  PC World refused to beat it or even match it so off we walked to Comet

Kind of suggests that's why Comet is no longer in business and PC World still is .....

Yep...That sounds right, Mark.
