royalmail delayed delivery excuses

foodster

Hi all.
A quick rant. i ordered a small item of ebay that was sent recorded on the 18/1 and it still hasn't arrived.A phonecall and i get told its because of the weather.I live in the Welsh valleys and yes the snow came down but i ordered items from Amazon and they were delivered the next day.I often find the Royalmails service to be wanting, eg when i rang them i was told i have to wait fifteen days before i can make a complaint.Pretty poor i feel.
Ah well, rant over.

I'm still waiting on a delivery that was posted on Jan 16th. The sender has emailed me a copy of the receipt so we can both chase it up with our respective delivery offices. It's some vintage computer equipment so it's not like I can just order replacements either.

I love people who state things as fact like that, had it done to me by customers in the past.

Do you have any idea the route that each parcel took, nope neither do I. I believe that Amazon have a warehouse in swansea so you goods might have come out there. The ebay item might have to travel across the country through snow bounded areas and been held up somewhere.

I can't be bothered any more to get upset, angry or uptight about things like this as life is way to short. Yes it is annoying but no one has died because of it.

Yours
