Is royal mail working in your area?

We have not seen a postman/woman for days on end, are they working? Even allowing for staff shortage you would think you would get

a delivery at least once a week.

    Post people are around every day here too, not sure if doing every route every day or not.

    I live in Preston, Lancashire and the Royal Mail are certainly working in my area.  Deliveries every day.

    We spotted the postman yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks. I put it down to there not being any junk mail in the system.
    I'm in greater London.

    Yes, we're getting post too. I went to the PO, to post a parcel, a week or so ago and was told to allow 3 days for 1st class and 5-7 for 2nd, but many things are taking longer than that.
    It's not difficult!

    'Wonder' - to feel curious.
  • Our house isn’t on a permanent duty so we get our mail quite late sometimes. We had it delivered lady week at about 10pm one day and it was the biggest pile of mail I've ever received. They must be letting it build up before delivering.
