I have a new-found respect for Royal Mail … I’ve always thought it did pretty well, even if various people mucked it about and cherry-picked its good parts for themselves …
It really must be creaking under the strain just now, as mail-order rules, OK …
Please note that though your order may have been despatched, there are currently significant postal delays in all parts of the country due to the current COVID-19 crisis.
Even if your local area is not affected, there will likely be postal backlogs/delays in parts of the country that your parcel travels through and it will take longer to reach you. Please be patient and bear with us during this difficult time – I had a parcel myself which took 22 days to get from here to London and arrived just after the replacement parcel I had sent out …
I very much appreciate your cooperation. Thank you. ***
PS I have updated mail cost prices as per Royal Mail published prices May 2020. Website still held prices as at 2015.
You may notice that if your parcel is over 2kgs, the delivery price is £12.34. This is the Parcelforce price, which I believe is a good service, and solves the problem that a lot of my customers had with Couriers. We will no longer use Couriers, who although their prices were a few pounds less, often couldn’t guarantee delivery.
