postal deliveries improving?

I sent a lot of packages out yesterday mid afternoon and have already received glowing feedback from 4 buyers..
It's not the feedback I'm surprised about, it's the fact that they all got their packages the next day which is unheard of when using my local sorting office. Maybe RM have started to improve?
I'm hoping that the rest of the parcels arrive today as well, as that will mean everything apart from one item, that I sold on Thursday is complete, a record in itself.
That's how I like my ebay, finish and pay on Thursday night, despatch on Friday, all feedback left on Saturday...long may it continue.

It will all go downhill soon RM i hear are making redundant /sacking ( can they do this ? ) a lot of staff , due to the fact that they are now open to competition , postal deliveries here in Fife door to door are now much later in the day , used to get a 8.15 am delivery now around 11-12 .... bout time they improved like all big companies in this country they are appy to take yer brass .... but when customer service comes into it they are sadly lacking ....0

:rotfl: It serves me right that it looks like we aren't getting any deliveries of mail today..my weekday mail usually arrives about 2pm but Saturday post is here by 8am. My neighbours just knocked to say they have spoken to the delivery office and have been told that not all areas will be getting a delivery today due to a shortage (of what they never asked but I presume postmen?).
Cest La Vie.

Our normal postman delivers the mail before 9 am everyday without fail.
When his replacement does it the time can be from 9-1
Good luck soolin i hope you catch the PO

Our normal postie normally delivers between 9:30am - 11am but he is such a gossip his replacement is here by 8:30 am normally...lol...:D
To be honest my outgoing mail has been very good except one package to a BFPO number (could be anywhere) sent last weekend and buyer chasing me up already. Since it is to the RAF I am assuming Germany or Iraq.
How long tro BFPO addresses normally?0 -

The post's so good near me (middle of the country and distribustion hubs are around here) that I don't notice the difference between first and second class!0
