but im waiting on a parcel being delivered which was apparently sent out recorded delivery a week or so ago... obviously it is perilously close to xmas now, and it contains presents for a couple of family members. eeep :shock: ! anyway, yeh, ive had other mail turn up thats been posted since, so i was wondering: is it a possibility that this parcel has gotten trapped in a backlog where its been posted from (kent), as opposed to where its supposed to be arriving (nottinghamshire)? or are there maybe problems with the post in notts too and ive just got lucky with my other post so far?

any insider advice most gratefully recieved... just want to know how daft id be to not run out immediately and buy replacement gifts... effin xmas, bah humbug, etc :roll:

cheers!

Its a judgement call to be honest - this year the parcel side of the business has been the busiest I have ever seen it.

I think the best thing to do would be to call Customer Care with the Recorded Number and advise them you have been waiting a week and no delivery. They should then send an email to the DO that will deliver it this should give them a bit of a jog.

However, with 3 delivery days left this week and some DOs gearing up to deliver on Sunday , and the fact that most DOs operate a clear office policy on Christmas Eve I think you still have a very good chance of getting it.
