Our postwoman always has a smile on her face and time for a chat and even pats the dog that tries to bite her hand , so from me a big hats off to the "foot soldiers"

That's so true of many a large organisation isn't regrettably . . . the front line troops have to somehow make workable ludicrous systems dreamt up by those in their cosy offices.

Couldn't agree more i have always found Royal Mail staff to be polite lovely and with a good sense of humor (at least i take the postman wearing shorts in december as funny) - what i don't like is parcel force would have had my HC order by now if they didn't decide to close yesterday

I've worked in Oldham in December and I'm sure I've seen your postie Mark .. lol

Storm they are all at it - It's like they are daring each other to do it the colder it gets. Maybe they have a bet going

lol who keeps their shorts on the longest eh .... they got a pretty good winter to be doing the challenge if thats the case ..... Roll up ... Roll up .... Everyones a winner .....

It'll get colder in January the real test will be then

So, I order some things from the U.S, and some from the U.K - they both ship the same day, both have tracking.

Today I got the card for the U.S delivery - still nothing for the U.K one. The real annoying thing is that I need the U.K one pretty urgently now (expected a day or two, it's now a week!), but my lovely supplier has been a diamond, and I should at least get something in the next day or so.

The fact that a package in the U.K is taking longer to deliver than one from the U.S beggars belief as far as I'm concerned. Not a happy bunny, and complaints/compensation will be forthcoming - I've had enough of them now. Grrr

Sorry to moan - but it's time's like this where it really hits home just how bad our national mail service really is.

I think so much depends upon which sorting office your parcel is processed by Peekay and how efficient/organised they are locally.

Hope you get your goodies very soon.

I couldn't agree more i generally get stuff in 1-2 days from the uk 9 days ish from china and 2 weeks from the US so i have to say they do a pretty good job here but that also being said all the items iv'e had from the US have been stopped in the same sorting centre in the US for a good few days before moving on
