It's Christmas, Royal mail are rammed and the weather hasn't helped neither. Plenty of roads still closed up North.

I'm sure your parts will turn up soon enough.

I have had a few digs at the posties in the past, Yes there is some bad apple's and they all get tarred with the same brush. But the postie round here delivered twice the other day and the second time was at 6:45 pm.
He was walking round with a light on his head, Quite a sight really as he had a turban aswell

Only missin g a parcel from the states which was posted on the 13th of November $:-\$

To be fair , I've recieved about 15 to 20 parcels by post in thtille last month ,, but I've seen a few people at the local GPO pick up who have been waiting days for things to turn up

The usual reply is" It could take upto 2 weeks"

Sheer volume and bad weather to blame

My NOS Pro Neck chainring turned up from the states last week after about 10 days so they do make it through!

Got parts through Yesterday from mainland Europe.
It didn't seem like much of a delay but the Postie at work today showed us a pic on his phone of mail he had to leave behind

Exactly.

Up to a week ago i averaged 1 packet bag a day for delivery which is pretty standard for a delivery, i'm now averaging 5 packet bags a day. It's horrendous at the moment, thankfully i have a van, sod using a bike.

No thucker is ever in as they're at work and didn't think to get their stuff delivered to their place of work then they have the audacity to moan whilst stuck in a queue at the local sorting office trying to collect it. They'll also moan if the postie doorsteps their stuff to save them going to the sorting office which in hindsight is actually helping them out. I even had someone moan on Sunday morning because i got them out of bed. And yes i did say Sunday.

Happy days.

My local Postmen are spot on

A little "thank you" at Christmas goes a long way

At least you now know why you're waiting.

I have had no problems with royal mail. DHL have give me some problems though. They take your money then tell you they are not going to collect. They all went out this morning thankfully. Hopefully they will all get there

pickle · « **Reply #13 on:** December 14, 2010, 09:14 AM »

dont worry, they're bound to go on strike next week so you won't get a thing

Swivel · « **Reply #14 on:** December 14, 2010, 09:33 AM »

I posted out a load of stuff about 3 weeks ago, only now are they arriving and all were 1st class recorded? crazy at the moment

Haven't had post at our house for 2 weeks now, despite the snow melting on friday and the bin-men making it down the road to collect, the lazy fookas haven't ventured down yet...

The snow is now gone yet no post saturday or yesterday still. I wish I had a job that I didn't have to do if it snowed a bit!

southern andy · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2010, 02:29 PM »

Are you saying Spen that you aint had any Christmas cards yet and this is your way of disguising the fact that no one has actually sent you any.

Spen69 · « **Reply #18 on:** December 14, 2010, 03:53 PM »

Nah, just haven't got the bits I need to get going on my 1979 Supergoose build.... ;-(

You can keep the christmas cards and bills, just get me my fookin kid's bike bits ;-D
