Been a long time since i had a router delivered, just bought a backup router on ebay and its being delivered by 2nd class royal mail. Would the normal postie be expected to deliver this or the mail van. Anyone bought a recent router?

    I don't think it is likely to weigh a great deal, so probably just with the postie.

    Usually the postman, but some are a little larger and it may depend on how busy your posty is that day.

    Had them in a small van and the postie on foot. Pot luck.

    One of the routers i had was curved and the box was double the size of all my previous routers even though the main unit was essentially the same size. Silly curve design.

    I bought one of them last year. It isn't a large box and it was delivered by our normal postie rather than the parcel van. It's a decent router and a reasonable improvement on the older model.

    Not sure how you expect anyone to give a definitive answer.
    Depends on delivery methods in your area,the postie,room in their bag etc etc.

    It does seem sometimes that some posters on here love a little dig at a simple advice question.
    The second line in your reply would be far better.

    How do you logon to a router thats in the postal system?

    If your talking about tracking your IP on a map then it depends on your ISP. Mines never been accurate. 45miles away at best and usually its over 100 miles.

    Its not a dig,its a basic fact of the vagueness of your question.
    I'll add you to my blocklist so I no longer bother you.
