Parcelforce 24

Hey guys, going to try and make this as short as possible.

Ordered a parcel off e-bay, it got shipped early on the Friday morning using Parcelforces 24 service.

Woke up this morning to find out that it states it's at my Local Depot and "Loaded to vehicle for delivery" but it's currently Saturday.

My question is this, does Parcelforce 24 deliver on Saturdays and if so up until what time? As I was planning on running a few errands today but if the parcel is due to come, I was going to push them aside for today.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

it can be loaded on a vehicle for delivery during the whole weekend.
it can just mean it's ready to go first thing monday

I'd imagine without paying for saturday delivery you won't get it unless they have a backlog they are trying to clear, phone them for a definite answer but I would say you won't get anything until monday

My parcel was sent using the express24 service on a Friday, or the express48 service on a Thursday, will my parcel be delivered on a Saturday or Sunday?

Deliveries on a Saturday are only made where the sender has chosen and paid for the Saturday delivery service. These deliveries are usually made between 7am and 2pm.

It'll have been loaded on the van ready for Monday.

Saturday delivery has your pants down so doubt the seller has paid for that.

That's what I thought, I did a bit of reading around and the consensus was a little confusing, some say they got theirs on a Saturday, others did not. I paid $30(pound/not dollars, US keyboard) but I think that was just due to the fact that it was a Heavy item, but ah well, if it doesn't come until Monday not a huge deal, wanted a little play with it over the weekend.

Thanks guys.
