using Royal Mail. YIKES!!! I thought they were one of the suppliers who changed to alternate delivery firms

perhaps they haven't yet altered their standard dispatch emails?

    Is this a praise, vent or warning?

    not too sure yet....lol...more likely a vent that they sent something by Royal Mail, then again...possibly praise that they chose to take a chance for a speedy delivery...mind you, it could be a warning to anyone who is considering ordering items from Amazon at the moment...:confused:

    Doesn't mean much. I got home tonight and found a credit card bill waiting for me. I had hoped the 'national strike' might mean a couple of days without bills but it wasn't to be.

    Last time I ordered a bunch of stuff from amazon it came by about 5 different delivery people including Royal Mail, Citylink, Home Delivery Network etc. I dunno how they choose who does what, I've never looked into it..
  • No doubt it will also depend on where you live, my post is being delivered and collected as normal. Sorting etc. shouldn't pose a problem as RM are/have employing/employed 30000 minimum wage, non vetted/checked personnel haven't they.
