How long is you post taking to arrive?

I had 5 items dispatched on 29th and 30th Nov which still haven't arrived, Yet we still get mail every day. Has anyone else noticed that its alot slower or is it just me, and my parcels have gone astray?

    Hello ethansmum, I think the problem is that RM give priority to new mail and all the delayed parcels held up with the weather are sorted last.:(

    If you ask the sellers they may be able to chase them up with RM for you.;)

    Both of those pieces of advice are daft. RM do not prioritise new mail. Where on earth did you get that idea? As for sellers chasing up the post - words fail me.
  • They might be right about new mail being prioritised. My recent post has got through as normal, post sent from the 22nd to the 30th has either not arrived or is just starting to arrive now. So it might not be a silly answer.

    macfly, my sorting office gave me "that idea" as a seller I'd be grateful for the opportunity to chase up delayed packages rather than have dissatisfied customers.:tongue:
