Special Delivery no show

Post by lr73 »

Been waiting on a special delivery that was posted on the 4th and is now sitting in "the national distribution centre" and has been sitting there since the 6th according to track and trace. Where is this and why have I been receiving second class post that has just been sent out but not this parcel? Any chance of receiving this soon do you think?

Reason for special delivery is so that it spends as little time as possible with royal mail. Its like if you have ever worked in a food factory, you will never ever eat that food again. Behind the scenes is a real eye opener. Managers couldnt run a raffle!

At least with SD you know where the fecker is.
If it was a standard packet you still wouldn't have it but you would be worried that some scumbag had nicked it.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
