Postal advice required
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 ?

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.

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

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.
