Royal Mail Tracking is it worth it?
I sent two items through Royal Mail over two weeks ago and Royal Mail online tracking is not showing any updates. One of the parcels was delivered last week and confirmed by the recipient.

Charity doorstep collection
Do any of them actually do what they say they will? I had a clear out of clothes a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have put them in bags provided by 3 different collectors, and put the bags out on the days they say they will collect, but not one of them has actually bothered to turn up. So all they're doing is shoving…
