    Smile Is this a record?

    Hi guys,
    A couple of weeks ago I sent some stamps to Canada, posted them by airmail on the Tuesday and they arrived by Friday morning!

    Are royal mail finally getting their act together? I know there can be delays especially to USA and Canada, I have had some take 3 weeks,
    but 3 days-- is this a record. I know sometimes delays are caused by customs but I was really please they got there so quickly!

    Cheers guys
    Alan

    Ditto, Canadian customs seem to take forever to let things through. They seem to take much longer than the USA and Australia. What makes me laugh is that they even make you write the return address on the front of the parcel so they don't even have to turn it over yet they are still so slow !

    That must be a record abyorkie !

    Wow that was quick!

    Had to send an overseas parcel to Spain the other day and that got there quicker than usual too, although not as far as your parcel!

    Maybe it’s because they’ve lost so many domestic customers? Lady in the Post Office said loads of people have stopped using Royal Mail for domestic parcels. And a friend remarked to me yesterday that her Amazon parcel came via MyHermes? If they’ve switched, well… no wonder parcels are getting through quicker…

    Blessings, Sharon
