Royal Mail getting their act together?

Is it just me, or is everyone else getting their mail delivered within 1 working day from anywhere in the country as well? Things are getting much better from these guys i reckon.

Dunno whats brought about a change, however, well done RM, hope they continue it. :T
Owed out = lots. :cool:

    Ironically the only thing that's been slow lately is a special delivery.... from RM themselves. :rotfl:

    I reckon they just got their email confirmations mixed up though.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    I just had my clarinet turn up before 9am today. Nice, but it was supposed to be here before 9am on Saturday, the day before my concert, not the day after... I wouldn't bet on Royal Mail getting their act together!

    I sent a package second class from here to Inverness last Monday; it arrived last Wednesday. Pretty good indeed.
    Squirrel!
    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.

    Did the company that sent it to you pay the surcharge for guaranteed Saturday delivery? It might not have been been royal mails fault.

    exactly,for SD items you have to pay extra for a Saturday delivery (guaranteed)
  • Definitely not.Mothers Day card sent to my mummy first class nearly a week ago still hasn't turned up,and a card with cheque in for one of the kids' birthdays vanished in transit.RM's customer services didnt seem to give a damn when I called them with a complaint about mail going missing...
