I know it's Christmas and some delays are expected with the extra weight of mail being sent, but are you finding that things are taking an age to arrive?
I bought a couple of phones to fix of Ebay last week and they still haven't arrived - and at least one was sent Recorded Delivery!
Anyone else finding they're having long delays in recieving post, including recorded or even Special?
I'm also finding my mail is very late arriving some days, and we aren't getting any at all on some!

Yeah it's really bad.
I sold an old duo card on ebay about 2 weeks ago and the person still hasn't recieved it. They said that a few other items they bourght took ages to get to them. |

All products are guaranteed but it doesn't mean they won't bak down, just that if they do the company sorts it. Claim your postage back. There sorted. It costs peanuts to get one item from one end of the country to the other. cheap by any persons definition of the word! |

When i introduced a friend (my brother) to get a free Sky+ box they said i wud receive a letter telling me the date when i wuz gona get it installed.
So last week i wuz about to go out in the afternoon but i felt hungry,i had juz made some sausage buttys when there wuz a knock on my door,there wuz a Sky installer standing there to my surprise! 
That wuz lucky,i didnt get a letter from Sky until 2 days after my Sky+ box wuz installed 
And what a piece of technology Sky+ is 
If nobody wants it.. put it on eBay. |

Two of the parcels sent recieved today, but looking at the postmark it looks like it was just a case of the ebayers been a bit slow posting, but we've had some mail that was posted 5+ days ago too!
I would have thought they'd sort some kind of way of dealing with all the extra post at Xmas!

My postie's really lazy, it used to be this woman that cycled to our street at around 8am, so I caught the post. Now it'd this guy who's lucky if he reaches the house by 1pm, if at all.
