Swansea Mail unreliable

Got this message from a buyer yesterday :
"
just sending you a message to let you know that the item haven't arrived
yet. The mail isn't very reliable at the best of times, so hopefully it's
just slow.
I thought I'd let you know, to make sure that you keep your
proof of postage.
what class did you send it by the way?"

It's only been 6 working days but I promised quick delivery so am sending a replacements today as there is a good chance they may need this item for the weekend. I've got a sneaky suspicion the replacement will go missing as well though! The item is only 1.99.

Anyone live there, what is the mail like ? First bits of postcode is SA6 6A*

    Maybe its just a case of its gone missing. Someone sent me something small recently, waited 6 days still didnt turn up. She sent me replacements, they arrived the next day. The originals still haven't turned up - so god knows whats happened to them.
    Is a sufferer of SAD, so don't blame me, blame the depressing English weather!!!

    Well I think I was wrong the guy says he has received replacements today and has left positive feedback. :A

    Mail service to/in/from Cardiff is bloomin' awful most of the time so any shared 'logistics' with Swansea I can quite believe will also be awful.
    :D Make a list of important things to do today. At the top, put 'eat chocolate'. Now, you'll get at least one thing done today. :D
  • Why were my posts removed? People can say Cardiff is bad but I can't state a fact about Tonbridge?
