Annie5 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Has anyone had any issues with mail not arriving? My brother sent a parcel from Wales last Friday and it has still not arrived ...... Just wondered if there is a general back-log at the moment ...... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/252794-royal-mail-deliveries/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie5 Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thank you AylwardS - that has put my mind at ease, at least I can look forward to my parcel arriving eventually :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/252794-royal-mail-deliveries/#findComment-1420184 Share on other sites More sharing options...

xapis85 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 We've had things taking an average of 7-10 days after posting if that helps! Not just a local issue though. My auntie posted two identical packages from same post office to grandchildren at the same address and they arrived 6 days apart!

Ace77 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 We constantly get post for the same house number in a nearby street, I've mentioned this to the postman who blamed it on the sorting office.

Renata Hamvas Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have tried again and the manager hasn't called back yet. I do know post is taking up to 7 weeks and is not arriving in the time order it's sent in.
