Royal Mail Issues ?

Hi. Is anyone experiencing Royal Mail mega slow delivery issues at the moment ? Dispatched 2 items to different buyers via Tracked 48 last Wednesday 17th. Neither have updated on Online Tracking and buyers haven't received items. Normally, T48 lands within a couple of days without fail. I appreciate 48 hours delivery isn't guaranteed but we're now veering towards 216 hours. Anyone else having similar issues ?

I posted this recently- I still have one LL RM48 lost out there and an INR open which ebay are dealing with.

This one was a known glitch:

and this one:

so yes, it seems RM have intermittent issues.
Plus of course prices go up soon as well:

Nope, 3 parcels sent 48hrs and all received when expected.
Randomly occasionally parcels have issues but seems to be just a problem with individual items not something systemic. Did have brown trousers when a £2k parcel didnt move for over a week but all of a sudden the buyer reported it delivered and also no notable damage/marks to the packaging so who knows where it was all that time.1 -
I posted a card 2nd Class on 12th Sept.
It was delivered on 22nd Sept.

It's not great around me either, had a hospital appointment on 7th September, letter sent 1st class on 19th August, received the letter yesterday, 24th September. Thankfully I also got a text message so didn't miss the appointment.1

Appreciate all the replies. It does seem to be a bit hit and miss. Fully expect them to turn up when least expected, and if it strings out to next week, RM will be paying compensation according to their website0
