Only ask as an ebay seller has said my item has been dispatched using this service, nothing came with the normal post so am wondering if it might come on a later delivery via van as per some special delivery items?

Royal Mail "S" service
Does anyone know what this is? Apparently it is a new service, but seems to be so new it's not on Google or the Royal Mail website? 95% of parcels are supposed to be guaranteed within 2 working days...

I think it means Standard Parcel. If it is this service, it can take up to 4 days to arrive. Ask royal mail on tweeter.

Re: Royal Mail "S" service
Thanks for that. I looked that up and it was £4.41 for up to 2kg. My item is very light and the postage fee was £1.95, ironically it was £2.95 for first class post, will try as you suggest!

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.
