I bought something from ebay on 14th December and still haven't received it. Hoping to have it in time for Xmas and getting a bit anxious now that it won't come in time.Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled.

Still waiting for a letter posted 2 weeks ago, (1st Class), in Altrincham to arrive in Morcambe. However an order from Germany got to me in 3 days....
Also concerned that 2 letters that were "signed for delivery" were just shoved through the letterbox without being signed for.0 -

They claimed to have posted it on the 17th, but who knows. I'm hoping it will come tomorrow.Love the animals: God has given them the rudiments of thought and joy untroubled. Do not trouble their joy, don't harrass them, don't deprive them of their happiness.0 -
I have been waiting for a parcel containing a special Christmas gift for my daughter, posted on 2nd December.
The tracking number has been constantly showing that it was in transit ever since then and I have been checking it daily. Until last Friday, when the tracking showed it was being returned to sender. There has been no attempt at delivery recorded, no card left through the door. I am home for much of the day anyway and have not missed any of my other Xmas shopping deliveries by RM or courier.
Sender has just taken receipt of the returned parcel. Packaging, address and postage were fine and I don't live out in the sticks!

I'm having terrible trouble with RM this year, worse than ever.
I bought the Graze groupon offer, only one out of 1 Graze boxes has showed up and the first one was due on the 5th December, last one 19th December.
I'm also waiting for 15 parcels, all sent first class recorded between Dec 9th and December 19th, most before December 15th.
I know this is the busiest time of the year, but items posted first class December 9th should have showed up by now!
In addition I had two parcels out for delivery with Parcelforce 48, per the tracking info I should have received them by 5.30pm on the 20th. There has not been a sniff of a parcelforce van anywhere near my road, I was in all day on the 20th and 21st. The tracking website just says they were loaded into the van early hours of December 20th, nothing after that.
I suspect I'm going to be wrapping up a lot of IOU notes this Christmas.Debt at 1/5/09 £21,996 _pale_

I've found this the best christmas ever for post - probably due to better weather.
I posted an item 2nd class monday 19th, and the buyer changed their mind and returned it. I already have it back.
Bought three items on ebay on Tuesday - one 1st class and two 2nd - and they are already here.
Looks like its not as busy as usual in some areas.0
