Sent a parcel to another forum member last week. I really want it to be there by now, but it isn't. I hate letting people down.

How long on average for standard parcels to get there ? Compensation is covered by the amount of postage paid, but I suppose I would have to wait on that.

Anyway, how long can a standard parcel take to get there ?

they normally quote 3-5 working days don't they?

They do, yes.

I'm seriously hoping for Monday delivery now.

when did you post?

Tuesday morning.

As I said above, I hate letting people down. Dues to the nature of the item, it took me ages to get it ready for posting. That alone held things up.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

remember its only a few weeks til christmas too, this slows down the post, especially for parcels

If you posted tuesday zill I wouldnt worry untill thursday ish

I am sure it will be fine unless postman-pat is surfing it

These days RoyalMail or Parcel force is pretty quick -- usually under 3 days but at this time of year guess.

I seem only getting a letter delivery every 2 to 3 days at the moment and we normally get about 5+ items in every delivery

The missus (with her 2000+ ebay feedback) says "anything up to a week" and not to worry yet

Thanks for your input lads.

I just want it to get there.

Standard parcel can take up to 7-10 days this time of year. I wouldnt worry until about thursday as wasa says mate.

After Thursday he may want to pop down to his local sorting office, a couple of time my postie has "forgotten" to put a collection note thingy through my letter box, I reckon he ran out of them and couldn't be arsed to write a note.

Maybe worth a try, you never know.
