    I was told that a recorded 1st class was posted to me on Thursday, still no sign of it.

    A recorded 1st class sent on Saturday morning still hasn't arrived.

    I got post yesterday sent on the 8th, as did my MIL who lives in the next town.

    Yet today I got a 2nd class package that was posted on Saturday!

    so no card shaped items are ever delivered?

    I know of at least 4 cards with money in them that have gone missing in the last 6 months en route to my parents place, its funny how they receive all their bills without a hitch :mad:

    We all know it happens so theres no point denying it.

    thats right but your phraseology made it that all cards went missing.

    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)

    They say they did, and I believe them, I've never had problems with them before. It had yellow SG stickers on it, I guess that stands for Saturday Guarantee?
