how long is it taking for your post? i received something today that was sent on the 1st, first class recorded. I'm waiting on quite a lot of parcels that just don't seem to be turning up. i sent my secret santa last thursday first class recorded and it doesnt look like thats turned up either plus ive thrown out the tracking number so can't even check that.

It is so messed up! Im getting things i ordered a few days ago but still waiting for things that i ordered weeks ago Its driving me mad!

Same. i've had some things come straight away and others haven't turned up and it's been a couple of weeks.

its the same everywhere, however with parcels they are doing evening an sunday deliveries to clear the backlog in time for christmas.

the snow caused collection problems as well as deliveries
ubby postie so HTH

i dont really know cos our post was off for a week so its reasonable that things are late - our post is coming twice a day just now though, letters in the morning and parcels in the afternoon - we have also had parcel deliveries the past 2 sundays but i think they are just trying to catch up

me too ! its the same with couriers, i ordered stuff from mothercare on the 1st and it still not been despatched, they say new orders will be received in 4 days but previous orders will be guaranteed for christmas, i don't see the logic in that. Plus they won't let me cancel the order so I can buy instore instead.

Ours doesnt seem affected and Simon hasnt had to stop deliveries at all over the crappy weather - but then again we havent been waiting for many parcels so dont really know about that. Hope you get everything/everything gets received soon though xxx

ours is awful, it took 2weeks for me to get a dvd i ordered from amazon, and it was sent out the day after i ordered it

im still waiting for mail that was sent on the 13th november ,,, ok its coming from hong kong but usually would be here by now !

i have not had any mail at all for 2 days now though ,, unusual ,,, not even junk mail !

that's really rubbish - have you tried ringing them??? i haven't ordered much online recently cos a couple of places aren't delivering to scotland at all just now (although hopefully my snapfish stuff will get here! )

Yeah ours is running well behind too. Thomas hasn't received a fair few birthday cards and is waiting on a few presents too

I am waiting on a few parcels - mostly amazon orders - that I ordered over 2 weeks ago but to be fair our posties seem to be working their socks off to clear the backlog.

I am also supposed to be getting 2 new sofas this friday which has been put off till next week now but with more snow forecast tomorrow and into the weekend I don't know if we will get them? I will be gutted if not

my sister ordered from mothercare a while back ( not sue when ) but she is getting worried it wont come now as its xmas stuff x

the mothercare order is the one i need, my brother got me to choose ava's presents from him, its all ELC stuff, he's coming up here for Christmas so i'll feel really bad if they don't arrive.
There's a really cheeky message when you try to phone which basically says don't bother hanging on we won't do anything for you.

lita sent me a parcel last wed or thurs and it came the next day. but im waiting for other stuff from a couple of weeks ago x

My virgin + box took a week longer than it should have, OH was not impressed! That was through HDNL though. Also amazon took 5-6 days to arrive instead of the usual 2 days with royal mail 1st class tracked.

It is annoying how they are putting new post through ahead of back log. I dont get the logic. We only had 1-2 days without post but the problem seems to be that the things are sent through scotish distribution centres to NI and they were one of the worst areas hit.

We due for really bad snow here this weekend so there will prob be more delays early next week. Im not waiting on anything though.... well my SS but I understand that if its late it cant be helped! x

Im waiting on 2 parcels thus farmy buggy snuggle and my harness pads yet my cards arrived today that i ordered at the weekend

Im waiting for 2 packages from amazon, 1 was ordered 9 days ago and estimated delivery was meant to be yestesday. The other package I ordered last friday was dispatched yesterday and says the estimated delivery is 22nd december
My brother also sent me a christmas card first class that took 6 days to get to me. Its a pain.

Im not waiting on parcels we dont seem to be gettin much mail havent had any for 2days which im sure we should be having letters come through xx

well still nothing from royal mail but got my mothercare order and nephews harry hill joke book (both were HDNL) so at least all my christmas presents have arrived.
