Postal delays - is this a record?

[CheeseCakeSunflowers]

In today's post we have received a Christmas card, the post mark shows it was sent on the 9th December. It was sent by our friends who live approximately 10 miles away. Anyone else still getting Christmas post?

Yes I had a card on tuesday.

Not me, but my niece let me know last week her Christmas card had arrived - I posted it on the 20th of December....

On the contrary...

We recieved a letter at 11am today they could only have been produced after 4pm yesterday. From opposite side of the country.

There was a local article this week that a letter from 1995 was delivered!

I ordered something online yesterday and it was delivered by Royal Mail today.

That one was on Radio Newcastle, a few days ago!

I have just received a post card sent in October lol! :)

Cards to the USA and NZ apparently arrived this week, having been sent early December. Have just posted a couple of birthday cards in NL, which are now late, but it's been a week and a half since I first tried to post them from England (I am now in NL for the weekend; one of them knows, but the other may be confused at the Dutch stamp.)

The card I sent on December Ist to family, arrived a few days ago. They’re about 20 miles away.

Sounds like things have improved since December.
