This is not about this specific Royal Mail branch. Royal Mail in general is
The. Worst. Carrier. Ever.
The slowest possible way to move anything from point A to B. If you order anything, anywhere, DO pay the few pounds extra for any other mail carrier available! Even orders from overseas arrive within two or three days with any other carrier, from anywhere. With RM: promised "guaranteed within 10 working days", took over three weeks!
Oh, and parcel tracking? Even on "First class" parcels: "items are only tracked after the item has been delivered" - EXCUSE ME?? I'm not making this up, that is from their actual tracking homepage. I will know that it has been delivered, when it has been delivered, I wouldn't call it "tracking" at all if it's only giving information in retrospect...
Seriously, avoid at all cost! read more
