    Well ive had a huge wad of mail arrive today including the missing ones, test items from work sent yesterday also arrived.

    Wonder if it was at the delivery office all along :cool:
    Oh, I think it has gone beyond the delivery office. Having had the experience of a postman who was thieving mail, your story sounded familiar. I would say that your visit to the delivery office turned the heat up enough either for Royal Mail to investigate and recover your mail or for the postman himself to deal with his stash.

    DSA mail (tnt etc)

    TNT mail, Buisness post and the like take ages- I got three letters sent out by the same people on different days all arrive at once. Royal Mail stuff is rarely so delayed.

    I presumed this was because I live near a small post town and these companies don't make the trip to my delivery office more than once a week or so.

    They don't seem to pass ours over all that frequently, they all seem to come on the same day.

    DSA companies get better rates for bulk (i believe) so its in their interest to try and make drop offs as large as possible
