Hi all are you all getting your post ok or are the royal mail still blaming the snow
we orded somthing off amazon on the 25th nov and it has not come yet it was posted by them on the 27th to me

We are still waiting for stuff ordered in Nov as well

Steve

its just started coming throught here in the last couple of days....

I ordered something on fleBay on the 12th November and despite being sent with tracking, i still havn't received it

Our postie tells me that the local sorting office is stacked out with parcels. He recons that the sorters are deliberately stock-piling them so they can cram in a pile of last minute overtime!

still waiting for snow, not seen any

Same thing here Jacko, orderd three things 1 off amazon, 1 off play.com, and one off ebay, all 2 weeks a go still not recieved any, all blaming the weather

Same in Sheffield, waiting for several items posted late nov / early dec.

I had stuff not turn up at work. Called in at sorting office, 'definately not there sir' (after a search)
Spoke to one of the posties that I know,

- he delivered it next day.

coincedence, of course

I've had most stuff delayed by at least 2-3 days and often more - I reckon the backlog is still giving the P.O. a hard time.

As a former postie I'll put money on parcels still being stacked up in stillages in the mail centres (larger depots) They simply do not have the man power any more to cope with Christams let alone any back log. Remember the strikes, that was because 20 out of every 100 jobs where cut across the board. 3-4 years ago there where 5 artic trailers full of unsorted parcels parked up at Boreham (chelmsford) they where not found untill they where sent for their tests in Jan.

Well at least its cheap to post a parcel nowadays, oh no wait a minute it costs a bloody fortune.

And 4 out of 5 important letters that get sent never arrive

I'm still waiting for shed loads of things from mid to end November. Not a happy bunny......

My post seems fine, had things from ebay and cards etc with 3-4 days of knowing they were sent.

Had 2 packages arrive Today (Sunday) from Autovaux via Parcelforce (Royal Mail ? )

Placed the order just a few days ago so Luckily things seem to be getting through here

some stuff has arrived, others no where in sight

last thing that came was utterly smashed and delivered to my wife in her hand without a word. (parcel ripped half way through, really gave the impression they coulsnt care less that they'd destroyed the contents. (claim now going through via vendor - parcel well packed and covered in please ber careful fragile notes)

local delivery guy also occasionally leaves things on the window ledge of the porch in open view of the street,

its a nice areas but really thats well out of order. how do you complain about a delivery man? and will he just lose all my stuff from then onwards?

Maybe some of that stuff should "go missing"

Even if only to stop him doing it
