Has anyone not had any post recently

I’ve not had anything recently.
Before the lockdown I ordered 2 books which haven’t arrived, I usually get bits and bobs through most days and I’ve had nothing. This is not a bash the postal service thread, it’s just asking if anyone else has found the same.

Yes, waiting for a parcel from RM

We've been getting ours pretty normally; although there's a lot less junk mail. The only unaddressed things that we've had are the COVID-19 local hub leaflets.

We were but since Thursday, nothing. We are still awaiting stuff ordered weeks ago.

My weekly magazine came through this morning, but I don't think we had much last week, maybe 1 item? Normally there are a few more.

DH is a postman and the mail is definitely dropping off. Businesses are obviously closed, they’re reducing the number of collections they’re exposed to.

RM have actually impressed me. They don’t normally give much of a shit about working conditions but they’ve done well to stagger start times, ensure they have space in the sorting offices, provide PPE etc.

We've had post most days but we bring it in and it goes in a quarantine queue on the side for 3 days before we open it. We wash hands after touching it too.

Actually, post van has just stopped outside our house!!

My parcel came half hour ago! Postman was very jolly, he waited until he was in the garden to shout my parcel was there and signed for so I came out, he made me smile

I haven't had anything since lockdown started.

HarrietThePi · 31/03/2020 14:42

I ordered a few things before the lockdown. Some have arrived, some have not. I have seen our post man delivering on our street most days since this began.

PogoBob · 31/03/2020 14:45

No post here for at least a week (awaiting a parcel my mother posted day before lock down was announced). We're in a city suburb so not a remote area or anything

ignatiusjreilly · 31/03/2020 15:07

Chatted to my postman today... he said they’re prioritising parcels at the moment so we’ll only get letter deliveries every few days.

FrogFairy · 31/03/2020 15:09

Nothing here for the last week.

Whoareyoudududu · 31/03/2020 15:10

I’m waiting on a few parcels, haven’t had post since Saturday which isn’t the norm for us at all.
