Hi
How long realistically should i have to wait for a 1st class signed for small parcel? Its the 3rd day now and ive never waited this long before, usually comes next day. Do parcels get lost very often?
thanks

We are just into the Christmas Pressure period when the number of parcels nearly quadruples. For that reason the targets RM has for delivering items are suspended during the 4 weeks before Christmas.
It doesn't mean its lost, it probably means its caught up in the pre sale effects of the inappropriately named "Black Friday". I would give it a few more days yet before I would start getting worried.

Hi, not a postie but my 1st class parcel took four days to arrive so I wouldn't worry! Christmas is coming and there are probably the same amount of postal workers as there usually are so they are probably really busy :)
