Trust me, OcUK will be ready - they have probably staffed up just for this .

Go RMSD and order today seeing as they are up and you will have it tomorrow or saturday. RMSD is the cheap saturday delivery option .

Not every post office delivers special delivery on saturdays mind. I think the majority do tho.

I "think" so long as an order is made before 3pm it will be out next day.

It's gotta depend when you live too! If you live in stoke or brum you much more likely to get it next than living in Penzance or Aberdeen!

Although as someone said if you go RMSD you've every chance of getting either tomorrow or saturday morning.

you saying because someone lives in aberdeen they wont get it next day? that isnt true its only places such as the highlands or islands that wont get next day for ovbious reasons.

If they deliver first class mail saturdays, then they'll deliver SD. The fact it has an SD sticker on it doesn't detract from the fact it has a first class stamp - SD only guarantees to be delivered next working day.

I'm saying it takes longer to move a package 300-400 miles than it does 30-40 miles hence reducing your chances of getting in next day.

First class postal delivery is meant to be next day - if Royal Mail are physically able to - they do not guarantee it - I've had plenty of people post me something one morning and it not arrive till two days later.

However special delivery is guarenteed - by 9 the next day even - although in the past I've ordered with RMSD - and got it after 9 but never been offered my money back!

If you ordered something at 1:55 pm (if last 'next day' order is at 2) royal mail has 14 hours less than someone who order at 1 minute past midnight - its kinda gonna be harder for them!

A lot of couriers do say they definietly can't do next day to the highlands or whatever - some even charge more for this as well I believe.
