    Depends on the area many places still don't have any snow at all.

    I live in Greater London and we rarely suffer problems with snow but this year we have been very badly affected. Strangely enough though RM are working virtually as normal, none of the courier companies are though and I've just spoken to one company who are now switching to RM to get their goods out if buyer requests it.

    I'm impressed. All my special deliveries have arrived the next day except for one. I sent a 9am to scotland 3 days ago that arrived about 11am.
  • I also live in London, we have had no post since Tuesday. Couriers can't get down the local side roads as they haven't been gritted :)

    Midlands, post as normal.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
