Title: Royal Mail hasn’t delivered my stuff
Post by: bright rabbit 1 on December 11, 2020, 05:57:27 AM
I know it’s getting close to Christmas but I want to have a rant about what’s happening with Royal Mail.

I ordered Nylon hair from Retrodolls.uk, a Princess wand (don’t know which) from Etsy and they still haven’t come, the wand was suppose to come on the ninth but it didn’t, the hair was supposed to come today and it hasn’t.

My game from the Nintendo store came today (they were having trouble sending it), it came by van.

HMV has shipped out Attack on Titan season three part two (it’s in two parts) but they can’t get their hands on part one.

I’m raging here because of Royal Mail isn’t doing their job.

I just hope the postman comes today with my stuff.

There was something on the news about delays in RM lately, because of a massive surge in mail and probably it's also because of their new collect/drop service that has been introduced at an interesting time of year given COVID and Christmas.

Maybe worth asking your postman or calling your local depot if you have tracking numbers for the items.

Things are trickling through slowly here too. I'm not worried about it especially at the moment, except I'm waiting on one thing that I need to put in the box we're sending to sister and it's not here yet...

Doesn't RM have an issue every year?

Yeah. It usually lasts about 12 months :D

But seriously, we had a RM van around today (and that's unheard of). So I guess they're trying to fix the backlog.

Attack on Titan Series 3 Part 2 has come today.

Still no hair or other things from Etsy yet.

I also ordered a Funk Pop Menacing Chernabog (one of my favourite Fantasia characters) from HMV and he won’t be released until 2021 I’m not going to cancel the order for him.

Just ordered from Disney Store website Esmeralda doll, Fantasia Postcard Book with Pen, a outfit for Princess Tiana, and a Chernabog pin. They’ll be here on the twenty second of December.

My missing post made it today, just in time to go in the box to my sister. Three packages posted at different times arrived together. I think they're stockpiling.

Attack on Titan Series three part one came today, they said the didn’t have it in stock last time, makes you wonder how they got it.

Game still hasn’t dispatched my order, I need the e-shop card because I won’t be able to use Pokemon home or re purchase Nintendo Online.

Just ordered from Disney Store again, Frozen II Deluxe Gift set (a really big box with three dolls, seven extra outfits, the fire spirit and Olaf), and a dress for my Made to Move Ariel doll (all my Disney Store Princess dolls are going to have articulated bodies).

One package down, six to go.

Quick update Game has dispatched my order.

My two ponies came today, and Hermes are delivering my Disney Store packages.

Got a Email from Royal Mail saying that they’re working on getting my game package to me before Christmas (I hope).

Still no hair or wand.

So that’s another package down and that’s three packages to come from Royal Mail and two from Hermes.

I don’t know what Disney Store is doing, they just shipped Ariel’s fashion pack but not the deluxe Frozen 2 doll set (I wonder if they’re going to ship that separately).

Hopefully my package from Game will come today.

Everything came, had to pay a fee of 1.50 because the seller of the wand didn’t pay enough postage. So paid that, and it came today. Got refunded £2.00 and that’ll be in my bank five to seven days.
