Well... what time does your post normally come?! If it's before now, then no! If it's after now, then there's a slight possibility you might get it today!

It's a lot of games though so may not be delivered by the postman

Probably not.
Sorry, never leave anything 'til the last minute. Russian roulette with our postal service at this time of year.

You'll be lucky if it turns up at all!

It's amusing listening to people having a go at delivery companies, when quite obviously it is the busiest time of the year for them, plus some of the weather conditions we have had, is it not to be expected that you delivery may be delayed, especially when ordering so close to Christmas?

Tummy · 24 Dec 2009 at 11:02

You left it until the last minute. What do you expect?

Deadbeat · 24 Dec 2009 at 11:04

Could not be any less your own fault. Eggface.

Ordering something on the 21st of December, the postal service is already over ran with other deliveries at this time of the year.

Order earlier next time.
