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!!

@INeedAnotherName Well obviously I don't know for sure but given that the same person posted a card to me from the US and it took just over a week, I'm going to take a wild guess it was RM.

Bristol is a disaster area for parcels. I should have had a large parcel delivered on Weds by Tracked 48.

It’s been at the Bristol distribution centre since Tuesday night and they are scanning it twice a day but it’s not moving anywhere

I’m absolutely fuming but can’t do anything about it except swear to never use RM for parcels myself.

My M&S orders always used to be sent by Royal Mail, but I noticed the last 3 arrived via Evri. I suppose there's no way of knowing why they switched, but Evri tends to be more reliable in my area.
