If you wanted the mech there tomorrow then a lot of it would have to go as manual. CSS operators have less time available on Mondays and chances are that all iLSMs and IMPs will not be available for use for sequencing as they'll be running outward and inward sort plans

Is it just my imagination or are people leaving sending there Christmas cards later and later in recent years?

There was a time cards would be tailing off by now.

People leave it late for cards.

Well i emptied 3 boxes saturday ,yesterday and 3 today every one full of (you guessed)xmas cards.So i think lots are posting later.
When election was on with leaflets boxes were normal mail,so i cannot see holding back mail for the election IMHO.

I get the impression RM have let the cards stack up in the MCs and are only just starting to sort them. The MC that serves us failed on Wednesday nevertheless it was still very busy on Wednesday but Thursday was worse then today was even busier!!
I think the public generally leave ordering stuff for Xmas until the last minute and they have left posting cards til relatively late this year. It did seem there were less cards posted in postboxes this year and I didn't find one that was full to the top. In previous years this was a regular occurrence.

Probably at worst a couple of boxes of xmas cards a batch on the sequencing over the last couple of days. Don't know if there's loads being held somewhere between the inward and outward MCs
