Archived Service Updates?

Post by santosorino »

Hello all,

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I have been searching on the internet but I've only found one older RM service update from August on here.

Is there any site(s) that has archived RM service updates available? I always just end up on the latest update.

I sent a letter to Brasil from Glasgow on Monday August 8th 2011. It normally takes around 12 days but my mate over there says he hasn't received anything, meaning it's been about 18 days.

I should have checked at the time but didn't think about it, did the riots cause some delays in international air mail? Its just a letter sent normal air mail, no tracking, etc. I am just hoping to find out if there were any delays during the week starting Monday August 8th that would have affected international mail. My mate says intl post sent to Brasil is notorious for going 'missing' in customs but since its just a letter I presume it would not go through customs?

Any help is much appreciated. Cheers.

I very much doubt it has been delayed this end,even if it was it would only be a day or two.
I would of thought any problems would be the other end,Brasils.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
