How are Royal Mail coping with deliveries in the West Lothian area?

Does anyone have an idea of how bad the delays and backlogs are in the West Lothian area. I've got a buyer who's parcel was sent nearly two weeks ago by standard parcels, and is asking where it is? :cool:
We're in Lancashire, so I've no idea what it's like up there apart from what I've read and heard on the net.
Thanks :)

    Im in West lothian and although some post is getting through I have just had parcels turn up ordered over 3 weeks ago. I think it's pretty wide spread and sometimes depends on where the parcel is coming from.
