Does anyone else have a crappy post man who doesn't show up till midday or doesn't show up at all? :banghead: I was expecting a special card which should have come today but he hasn't come. I thought postmen usually came in the morning?

Anyway, our post always comes earliy enough 8 am usually.
Isnt it part of new royal mail things?
all they do is deliver the damn things.
and do remember it is their busiest time of the year right now.
the annoying thing is, when we get a parcel that you have to sign for it gets taken back to the post office and you have to go fetch it cause when he turns up we've all left!
That happened to my boyfriend three times in one week (at the beginning of the month), to of them where for him the other was for me, so we went down at the weekend to collect them. Well I suppose it was our faults for ordering presents over the internet.
I thought postmen were meant to be on the streets.
yeh but theres lke a million times more post at this time of year than normal
Couldn't you (or your parents) have got a neighbour to sign for it instead, then they look after it until you come home?
But delays are to be expected at this time of year. They have a gazillion things to deliver. Also, you probably didn't have any post that day. Some days we don't get anything. Not even the horrid spam stuff!
At least it isn't stupid couriers messing you about (like I had last week!)
In Huddersfield we get it 7am straight every day, 1200 person student village gets its own 'round'.
I think at Xmas time something like 1 Billion cards are sent through the post
so yours might be lost in all that!!
When I ordered something online at the end of November I had spent enough for free standard delivery which is normally 3-5 days but the website put up a warning saying it could take up to an extra 3 days, due to the number of orders being placed due to Christmas.
Is that Amazon?
My mum ordered something from Amazon a about a month ago. It said it was despatched about 3 weeks ago and we got it yesterday.
Amazon have also been mucking me around with my order this week
I don't think you are the only one who has been having problems with Amazon (if it is Amazon you ordered from)
Example one:
Someone who lives elsewhere sends two letters on the same day. One to me, one to someone in the municipality right next to mine. The other person's letter arrives in 2-3 days. Mine takes 2 weeks.
Example two:
I can't count the times that I've seen a letter in my mailbox with a completely different address on it!!! Thankfully I'm good enough that I take it there, but I wonder how many of my letters have been misdelivered...
