Hi - I was meant to post out some xmas cards to my husbands customers but totally forgot! Royal mail website says they can be sent special delivery tomorrow to get there for 24th - anyone ever used this service?
Thanks!

    Are your customers worth the money?
    just bung a stamp on and blame RM for them being late
    If you have a mail centre locally,post the cards in the box/pillar box nearby
    SD will work. However what if they aren't in
    will your customers be happy collecting the item after xmas?

    If you have email addresses, send them e-cards instead (as personalised as you can, naturally) ?

    As very few customers are worth £6.22 each - especially when they come with a sign that effectively reads "wellmeaning but incompetent"...

    Come on. Its Christmas!
    Not to mention the mass of badly addressed/written cards that slow down sorting
  • Stick a stamp on it and post them now. They won't know you forgot, it's Christmas, everything slows down this time of year lol. Just blame RM.

    Last year I got a Christmas card in April, the date stamped on it was 14th December!
