Royal Mail delivery delays..
Hi all. I'm aware mail delivery is being delayed within UK but how bad is it?
I have one medal sent by 2nd Class tracked postage last week on May 13 but it has not been delivered though the distance is only 200 kms. Another badge sent on May 15 to an address only 40 kms away has also not arrived. Also no updates on tracker except to say accepted at xx post office and will be updated on delivery. Should I be worried? Funnily mail sent to me from Scotland has already arrived in Bangalore this week! Thanks |

Royal Mail 2nd signed for is taking between a few days and a month in my experience.

I sent packages from Athens to UK on 28 April and they have only just arrived. Greek post stayed due to reduced flights.

"NB. Postal deliveries have been hit and miss , second class post arriving in 24 hours but some first class post taking 10-14 days ! Have only had 1 lot go missing but got refund from seller. "

Hey
A friend of mines said theres a few things going on. Local offices have reduced staff and.at the same.time.the service is experiencing demand cos of a massive increase in parcels like its Christmas but without the seasonal staff but they're trying to.prioritise parcels over packets cos that's where management sees the competition might get an edge on RM T X |

Hi Khyber, I wouldn't be too worried yet, I sent 2 packages to London from France in the last 6 weeks, one took a month, one took 3 days. Luck of the draw these days I think.
Cheers, Tim |

I received an item posted on Tuesday this week, yesterday, however, international mail is another issue altogether, I suppose the lack of flights being the main problem, I would not worry if I were you.

I ordered 2 items in the middle of April. I put both orders in around 4 o’clock in the afternoon. The first was sent by 2nd class mail and arrived about 10 o’ clock the following morning. The other was sent first class.....35 days and still waiting!
Cannot say anything against Royal Mail since they have been fantastic throughout this lockdown and the postmen do anything they can to help. Happy to ‘go with the flow’.

35 days - there must be a sack of mail sat somewhere in the system.
