Is it just me or has the First Class post gone to pot these days. I got a card yesterday that took 4 days with a first class stamp on  :shock:  and I'm still waiting for something that was posted First Class on Thursday  :x

It's definately got slower over the last week or so. A bit earlier than normal.

The funny thing is we all expect next day delivery with 1st class post.... but it isn't actually guaranteed and never has been.

If you dig out your history books, you'll find that even when the mail was being moved by horse and carriage, it often made its destination next day.... truly stunning  :shock:

And another thing we often aren't aware of..... We are one of the few countries in Europe, or even the world, that gets private mail delivered to our door. Most places, you have to go and collect it from a local Post Office.

Despite the complaints about our postal service, particularly in recent times, we do get a far better service than just about anywhere else.

Hi,

our work post has got later and later (mostly since the strikes) so that we now get it around 2pm in the afternoon - this is not helpful for the company - and occasionally the postie does not even bother delivering it.  

we rely a lot on the post as we are a civil engineering company and get a lot of drawings sent to us so we are very disgruntled.

regards

ela
