I bought a set of golf clubs online the other day and the seller posted them Royal Mail Standard Parcels 3-5 days in a large cardboard tube on Saturday.

My question is, when should I recieve them and how? Will they come with my regular postman? I'm guessing they'll be fairly weighty the tube will have to be pretty long.
 
I find that anything bigger than a medium sized jiffy bag comes separately from the regular post. When they'll arrive is, as usual, anyone's guess I'm afraid.

EDIT: Has he specifically said they're coming standard parcels? Chances are once he's been to the post office he'll find that Parcel Farce are cheaper (or the only possible option).
 
Might depend if the postie does his round on foot or from a van, if it's the latter he'll have more scope to carry big stuff. Mine walks hence the size limits.
 
As you say SP is 3-5 days so that is wed-fri, unless it was posted after the last collection on saturday in which case it would be thu-sat. Since your postie uses a van it will be delivered by him with your regular post.
 
Usually in a seperate van. They tend to arrive (for me) at 9am or earlier (compared to 1pm normal post).
