Christmas Card 20p. Stamp 68p. Postie May Be On Strike; Shall I Abstain?

[Cyclecar]

I think I won't bother with them  this year.  Royal Mail are more interested in lucrative special delivery packages, so Cousin Hilary's card may not get out of the sorting office! And the union's stance is nakedly political.  Bah humbug.......

I post stuff out daily and the longest delay has been 2 days for 1st class, second class has got there in 2 days.

I agree with your sentiments on the unions stance and look forward to the rapidly approaching day when others will be competing with them on a level playing field.

Talk about Turkeys voting for Christmas...

Posted card Monday morning 1st class, still not with recipient  Thursday evening.

I am waiting for an order from EBay the delivery was supposed to be between Monday and Wednesday this week. I had a mail from the seller saying we see you have not received your package, this could be because RM are busy and also because of the strike action.

Haven't bothered with cards in years apart from my kid's birthdays. In an age where recycling and cutting waste I think they're a pointless and unnecessary waste.

Forget it for most friends- just e mail them - it'll screw the Post Office (or whatever it's called now) it has seen the end of the road for letters and possibly for parcels now.

I've been waiting 10 days from the expected delivery day for a small parcel through Everi. I'm cancelling.

Evri (parcel stolen). They might have changed the name but it's still Herpes.

I use evri for most of my parcel needs (5 or 6 a week) and dont have issues. I know there are areas where they are not good but that is down to the individual deliverer. I believe they are working through them. The one I have a problem with is Yodel, only had one delivery from them out of over 20 they were supposed to deliver.

My package is being delivered by Royal Mail, never had problems before but at least the seller can see it hasn't been delivered, will mail them Monday if not here by then.
