Not sure if I'm even posting in the correct place. More of a rant really. Is anyone else pi**ed off with the service (or lack of)? First class post is often taking 3-4 days to arrive. Sometimes I'm even paying extra for 1st class to still wait up to 4 days. I realise first class isn't next day delivery but really? It also took 6 whole weeks for a birthday card to make it over to the USA a couple of months ago. The frustrating thing is its now putting me off buying from smaller companies like Etsy because I have no clue if anything will even arrive. No wonder people are using Amazon more. Not blaming the postman here btw, but I really don't understand what is going on!!

They can't even manage to get their own letters out in a reasonable time. I've had a letter directly from them about my dog. The letter is dated the 17th September and has a 1st class printed stamp on it. I recieved the letter Saturday just gone, 12th October 😅

I recently had a Guaranteed Next Day delivery parcel sent to me. The guy must have rang the doorbell and gone away immediately, as I was downstairs and went down straight away, yet nobody was there.

However, other couriers aren't necessarily better. My flatmate had a failed delivery recently because Evri said they 'couldn't find the address'.

Husband uses royal mail for all his deliveries and he never has issues, he sometimes has items that arrive next day, fabulous service, saying that he uses 1st class signed for.
