I know they don't deliver as often but I sent a birthday card to my son's partner in Clavering 8 days ago and it still hasn't arrived, first class too, it's only coming from 30 miles away, now I'm hearing people in the area haven't received post for up to 3 weeks, are other posters experiencing the same problems too?

My daughter gets a bulk delivery usually on a Saturday, she lives in Seaton. Parcels take precedence over letters now.

I was on holiday in mid October & returned on the 18th, I haven't had any post since I got back & I am waiting on a couple of letters, so it's not as if I haven't been sent anything. We used to get a bulk delivery once a week, it looks like it has now gone to once a month, which is strange as the postman passes my house nearly every day going to other houses in my street.

Terrible service now. I live the far side of Northallerton, and the postman are so scruffy too!

So is there any point in buying 1st class stamps then?

I spoke to a plumbers business about a quote for a boiler replacement. I was told it was posted on 28th October but still haven't received anything yet.
My main worry is that a hospital appointment could be missed because of the terrible service they're giving.

This is governments selling off the countries assets to line the pockets of wealthy shareholders, has a Czech owner now, who sounds as though he's just assett stripping the business at the cost of reputation, customer service and workforce.
