    If it was sent recorded you should get some free stamps if it doesn't arrive...

    Tell me about it...I posted some CDs recorded on the 17th....we're still waiting.
  • If they were recorded on the 17th, the engineers need to mix them, and that doesn't just take a few days....

    Recorded does not mean it will get there any quicker than a "bog standard first class stamp", it just means it will be signed for at the other end.
