Seems that Royal Mail is letting you down. You may aswell send second class.

If you get any complaints about very late deliveries, James - I have a batch of deliveries from various places well overdue, when stuff posted this week has arrived. On Monday I rearranged a Recorded Delivery for yesterday and it hasn't even arrived today, but items posted this week were delivered.
So that means there's a backlog in a warehouse somewhere. Streatham sorting office is one of the worst in the country, IMO.

I'm not complaining, just making people aware that the post isn't at it's best at the moment.
I completely appreciate that the weather has caused backlogs of post & was just saying James could save pennies sending parcels second class at the moment.

I didn't think you were complaining for a minute {{{Hiss}}}, but I thought I'd recount my experience so that if people tell James their pkgs are missing he will know that there seems to be a pile-up of post from a couple of weeks ago even though more recent post is getting thru. scylla

Post isn't making sense anywhere. I posted 5 items on Saturday, noe have arrived. On Monday I posted 6 - with 2 identical packs sent to my son and daughter, who live 1 mile away from each other - with their post being distributed from the same office in Esher. My daughter received hers on Tuesday, albeit my son's hadn't arrived yesterday. Someone on ebay said that their relative works in a sorting office, and told them that the backlog was staying just that - piled and logged, with newly arriving post being dealt with first! No idea why that decision was made.

I'll let you know James when I get my order to give you an idea of time, Audrey mailed to say it was despatched yesterday.
SD adds a heck of a lot to the cost on your already brilliant prices.

Order arrived James, don't rely on special delivery either. I bought an item from Amazon & paid £8.99 for next day delivery, item turned up 4 days later wasn't impressed.

Anyone else ordering stuff from Amazon, if you sign up for the Amazon Prime trial, you'll get next day(?) delivery free for a month, just remember to cancel before the trial ends....i did it 2 years ago, forgot to cancel, but must have saved loads anyway, if it's £8.99 a go...

James, have you got the waffle in stock? I don't need juice as such but I really need a treat for Christmas - Bro is off to Switzerland on Wednesday, I'm going to be all on me own wiv me bad chest feeling sorry for myself So I'm thinking "what the heck?" Can you do it nearly all PG? (If not all?) I'll need to get moving to be sure it arrives in time, the way things are going. scylla
