I sent off a dozen eBay sales, regular first class, just before 5pm yesterday, from a tiny rural sub post office… I’ve already had feedback from over half, including Wales and Cumbria. So they may not guarantee next-day delivery at that time, but they still manage it pretty damn well.

Ho-hum, that’s all. As you were.

Yeah, I’ve often had relatively positive experience with Royal Mail, for example my mail to Japan usually gets to Japan quicker than my mail from Japan does, which is always a bonus. Rare when stuff like this happens eh?
