I ordered a bracelet for my daughter this xmas, R.M emails,we got it then the out fir delivery today and 35 mins later there tracking said sender despatched item! Then no more tracking info at all,spoke to the sender who confirmed they had despatched it twice, i never received either of them. I bought a watch years ago that was tracked.to my local delivery office then that was where it seemed to stay so i went there and they confirmed that they had received but it apparently wasnt there anymore but hadnt been sent out for delivery,so someone stole it then i said ! Erh well all we can say is its not here! Letters are only delivered to my address twice a month on saturdays only.

Had that before Xmas. We were having breakfast when I heard the letterbox clatter. Same as you - attempted to make delivery. Tested door bell - yeah that was ok.
Mr angry head on, grabbed car keys and shot up to the local office with the little red card. (Less than 15 minutes.) Had a loud word wit the chap behind the counter. He stretched down, picked up my delivery and said sorry. they must have forgotten to take it!!!! Pin now removed, I now asked how come they attempted to deliver a parcel they didn't have on the van? They are special!!!

You could't make it up could you!!! I did hear a rumour, that there are 'shopping lists' by RM personnel around Xmas time. Must stress though only rumours.

Know what you mean. Our local 'Evri' chap is very good. Quick too He'll tuck deliveries away in the garage for me. Royal Mail, even if I specify place delivery in garage will take it back to the depot or leave it in plain sight of the road. Arrange next day delivery!!! Ha - easier to collect it. Only problem with the Evri/Hermes bloke - he's taken by our pup and her with him so a 10 second delivery is about five minutes after they go through their self admiration phase!!! :smiling3:

The Royal Mail was first formed in 1635 so four hundred years of service this is what you get

I ordered an airsoft sniper rifle from a company, not RM I admit but UPS delivered... ace, fab, brilliant! Got home, no sign of it, not with a neighbour, got in contact with the company, due to the nature of the product it needs to be signed for! Yep, I get that, the driver had signed it in my name and buggered off with it left at the door, someone's in the doo doo! The driver doesn't remember delivering it, what?
Anyway, I have since been reimbursed and have bought another, bloody delivery companies!

You think you could trust UPS, they are one of the only two companies that can take tax's off you at the door!! Apple only use UPS and that's my only experience with them.

I always thought that UPS were good but I'm having my doubts now!
Never had an issue with Evri, they've always been on time if not before!

In mid-December I bought an item on eBay from a seller near Glasgow and it was sent Tracked 48. It arrived in Edinburgh within a few hours and was then sent up to Forfar for two days, down to Motherwell for two days, back up to Edinburgh for a day and I received the package a week after it was sent.

There I was looking at making a start on my Sea King this weekend until I received a email from Royal Mail this morning.
Background - ordered some paints from John to help with the SK. Don't want to start it before I have most of the components needed.

As usual, John post off the order swiftly. Great I thought - Friday/Saturday expected delivery. Then this morning an email from RM. Again I thought great - the paints are out for delivery!!! Nah!! No such luck. It started with, Dear Mr Doug - Sorry!!! That's it!! They then went onto say the delivery has been sent on a trip around the Uk and have settled in the Diss Distribution centre, and not moved since!!!

What annoys me is this isn't the first time this year and it's only the 5th day into 2024!! When they're good they are good but when they get it wrong!!! They even managed to lose a very expensive Seiko watch a few years ago. OK I was compensated but I couldn't get a similar watch to replace the one they 'lost'.

Why me!!!!

Edited Bit
Just received a second email from RM. It's been 're-routed' due to the flooding.
Happier now I know it's not them messing about!!!
Whinge over!!

Doug, you are not alone, ordered four items (3 kits and 1 coat) all from different outlets and last of all one from John. So got the approximate delivery dates for the parcels - Johns arrived first despite ordering it about a week after the others were ordered... None arrived on time and the one I wanted most (the coat), they lost altogether....
Not just you!!!!
Mike.
