YANBU at all.

I would expect this as well

juuule · 29/06/2007 19:41

Maybe they haven't received it?

perhaps, but was posted at beginning of week and all other items posted on same day have had acknowledgements...

No, are you sure the parcel has arrived? I know that once I didn't acknowledge receipt as I was a bit overwhelmed with the preparation of a trip for which the parcel had been sent. BUT... I brought a gift for her DD and send it to her when I sent back the thing she has lent me.

Any possibility of something like that happening?

BreeVanDerCamp · 29/06/2007 19:42

There is a postal strike on.

But if that is not a factor it is the height of ignorance. TBH

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 29/06/2007 19:44

Or, if the parcel arrived when she was out, she may stil need to go to collect it from the post service?

Will give her time to perhaps have to go to depotas it was too big for letter box and she might not have been able to get out.

Harsh moondog
Don't forget the floods have caused massive disruption too

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 29/06/2007 19:51

I know that when I get things taken to the depot, I can only pick them up during the weekend.

LadyVictoriaOfCake · 29/06/2007 19:51

its only a week, and there has been floods over a lot of the country.

moondog · 29/06/2007 19:51

I know.
I'm a right old cow.

LadyVictoriaOfCake · 29/06/2007 19:52

why dont you email them and ask if it arrived safely?

IsabelWatchingItRainInMacondo · 29/06/2007 19:52

Yes, actually one big sorting office was badly flooded (was it in Sheffield?)

whomovedmychocolate · 29/06/2007 19:52

Give her till next Thursday, then name and shame and we shall join you in chiding her.

Desiderata · 29/06/2007 19:54

Is this a MNer, an EBayer, or someone else?

Did not have her email, but have searched her nickname and found it on another thread and have emailed her. Will let you all know what happens.
PS - am so excited I have had a thread which people have responded to at length - I usually only kill threads!!

I got some mail today - I don't think the strike was very effective TBH.
