    Finally got our Santa Saver Passbooks yesterday. Application posted 1st class on 3rd December, Chorley received application 10th December, Chorley posted our passbooks 11th Dec 1st class recorded, I received passbooks 18th December!!

    "Chorley BS, where the saver comes first."

    How's about that for a slogan?

    So who's to blame, Chorley or the Royal Mail? December is traditionally a time rife with postal delays, after all.

    I would contact them to see what's going on as you should have received something by now.

    Are you refering to the Skipton Xmas/Special Saver. If so, I think you'll find they're variable rate accounts.
