Recieving mail

Hello, I was due a parcel today from Royal Mail and due to the weather conditions, I don't think I will today. The mail man ain't even come! Stupid weather

This weather ment to be like this for a good few days/weeks.

What do you think they will do? Deliver it tmorrow? Ring me up etc etc? Thanks.

weve had a lot of calls today about parcels etc as well. Its been snowing, the driver might have been in a huge traffic jam etc and its not under our control

Might wanna ring up!

I got my parcel at about 12 from royal mail. Sometimes living down south does have a few benefits.

I'm expecting a special delivery parcel. Normal post came (at 3pm as usual *sigh*) but no sign of parcel :/

I may ring up, thanks

I just don't want to pester them, as its not their fault. I ain't that type of guy lol.

I'm awaiting a shiny new pen via Royal Mail 1st class. We'll see... today would be nice but I gather it'll be more like the end of the week....

I'm still waiting for some DVD's I ordered on 30th of December, was hoping for them today but I doubt it

They will probably just deliver it tomorrow if they can't today, the snow and traffic must be bad where you are as they delivered both my packages today.

They burn it at the sorting office to keep warm.

Living down South has all of the benefits, apart from cheap living expenses.

They have opened the parcel and pinched the contents.....standard practice apparently :eek:

That would explain all the smoke rising for the local sorting office.

Hypothetically , if someone sent a parcel via Special Delivery Next day and RM didn't deliver it the next day , what would happen ? :confused:

From reading on their website the poster can claim the cost of the postage back. And if they were lucky enough to foresee the snow/RM's incompetence and taken out consequential loss cover they could also claim for any loss arising out of the parcel not being delivered.

Money making opportunity there

I got a courier to the house today. Was bloody suprised considering the state of the hill he had to come down to get here.

was quite impressed even though his knock was ridiculous.
