I was sent a parcel on Thursday the 26th, he didn't tell me if it was sent via first or second class but shouldn't it have arrived either way? I will be heartbroken if it's lost as it has a lot of sentimental value. Is it possible that I'm a bit too quick to worry and it should turn up, or should I accept the fact it probably won't arrive?

Second class has a delivery aim of three working days. If posted after last collection on Thursday then it hasn't been three working days yet. Please note that there is no maximum time on either first or second class.

Thank-you for your reply. I'll keep my fingers crossed for tomorrow.
