with the book arriving at offices on friday 1pm i wonder how many managers have cottoned on to ordering their copy to be delivered by us, then searched the designated mail alp for his area and sifted till he found his own copy. then took it home and started to read it 11hrs before the official launch at midnight?

From the 9 that I managed to deliver today, all of them seemed to be adults who were waiting for them. One of them being some old doris who seems to be keeping QVC in business single handedly most days.
Not all of them coming through Amazon either, quite a few were from Waterstones. Though saying that, don't Amazon own Waterstones.
I'd love it if the people who knew full well their book was being delivered today, and fùcked off out, get a phone call from a friend who got theirs and has read it, and then proceeds to blurt out the ending.

Lucky bleeder - I'll be jealous of you, even as I'm snoring my box off in bed. BTW is there a limit on how many have to go out tomorrow, or is every single HP book arriving at Sevenoaks going out tomorrow?
Only five of 'em today jimbo luckily, think they all went pity that doesn't apply to rest of large packets on Saturday, couple of people were surprised when they asked if I had lots, I told them most of the supermarkets are virtually throwing a copy in if you pay £100 out on shopping. The bookshops will suffer, hopefully now he falls off the perch at the end of this one and gives us all a break :Applause :Applause :Applause :Applause not so much the books but all the hype and hysteria that surrounds them.

The Royal Mail reported that dozens of its articulated lorries had got stuck in floodwater yesterday. 'One of our drivers was stuck on the M5 for nine hours,' said a Royal Mail manager. 'One motorist knocked on his cab window to ask him if he had any Harry Potter books on board that they could read.'

Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Flood cannot stop Potter delivery

Villagers resigned to a weekend of no Harry Potter due to rising flood waters were cheered to receive a surprise from their local postman.

Richard Yates, of Harvington near Evesham, Worcestershire, was unable to do his normal round because of floods.

He loaded up his car with pre-ordered copies of the new Harry Potter book which were in the sorting office and delivered them around the village.

A neighbour said it was a wonderful gesture in the midst of flood misery.

'A big grin'

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, JK Rowling's latest and final novel in the series, went on sale on Saturday.

Chris Haynes, whose copy was delivered by Mr Yates, said he had been resigned to not receiving his pre-ordered book.

"We had seen the flood water and all the post vans outside the main post office earlier in the day and were resigned to not getting the copy.

"But, about an hour later, a 4x4 came up the drive and out got this chap with a big grin on his face and explained what he was doing."

He estimated Mr Yates had up to 20 copies in his car which he was taking to houses nearby.

"It was wonderful in the midst of all this horror and misery," he said.

Evesham was the scene of dramatic rescues over the weekend as it became cut off by flood water.

Mr Haynes had spent the previous evening helping to salvage the village hall and toys and books from a play group from the floods.

"It was a lovely gesture," he said.
