    I always wonder that too. It's not like accidentally dropping something as small as a penny on the floor and not being able to find it. Where does something as big as a parcel go to? And surely some of these lost parcels must get found again at some point? What happens to them then, do they just get binned? I'd rather have something turn up 6 months late than not at all!
    There's a big office in Belfast somewhere for that.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I sold a couple of things and posted them yesterday, one of them arrived today so post office is doing something right.
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Adverse weather conditions in the UK may affect the delivery of orders

    Adverse weather is impacting deliveries across the country and may delay deliveries of orders in time for Christmas.

    I ordered a CD from Amazon on the 4th of Dec, delivery due by 10th Dec. And they're blaming snow, we had none until Friday. Not expecting this in time for Christmas. No post Fri or Sat, the state of our roads and side streets very much in doubt for tomorrow. But in all fairness this is the only item i've had gone astray everything else has been delivered as normal.
