    I was talking to someone today who posted two letters second class to the same address. They arrived three days apart.

    I would have thought it was a bit early to be blaming Christmas for delays.


    I posted a jigsaw 2nd class on 30th November and it got to the buyer on the 12th.


    Christmas can have a big effect on the post throughout the whole of December

    They may have just sent you a replacement if it was a cheap item. Or not posted in first place, no way to tell really.
