Same here, been waiting on a router that was sent by first class a week ago :( Funny thing was I ordered something else from another site on Friday (again RM first class) which managed to make it to me today :confused:
 
Hopefully Royal mail will go bust, then they will have nothing to moan about and let a reliable competitior take over.

Royal Carp. :rolleyes:

From reading that yes you should, assuming your posty does not deliver after 12pm and assuming your not getting something from abroad as their International Hub is on strike today :/

Sometimes mail can be here at 7:30am, next day can be 5:30pm! Will have to wait and see, my fault for not using a proper service.
 
I still havent had my parcel delivered. It was due to be delivered on thursday as it was shipped on wednesday. We got post the last few days so i assume they are working through letters first?

Might pop into the depot tomorow to see if i can get it.
 
I sent 2 games i rented back last week at the same time.....I got an email notification for one of them but not the other......Hopefully it's delayed because i won't be too chuffed if it's lost/pinched!......I'll be lumbered with the cost no doubt! :(

Just to put your mind at ease.

I'm with Lovefilm.

One of my returned DVD's got lost/stolen in the post last year.

I just filled out an online form to explain the situation.

No fines administered.

Although I do get a certificate of posting from the Post Office every time I return DVD's now. Just in case it happens again.

Well, I used to use Royal Mail for everything. After this, I'm not using them for anything other than letters, and that only because there is no other option.
 
I ordered some stuff yesterday and it managed to arrive today, I'm impressed by that! Now why cant my router arrive that quick (7+days and counting..) :(

My parcel arrived today... Did the postman knock? NO, he just left it on the door step.

Mine got skillfully thrown over my gate some distance and landed neatly between the green recycling box and log store :p

To be fair though, I was out when he came, rather that than have to go and collect the bugger.
