Post by maxwonga »

i Posted a letter 7 days ago and it still has not left the UK, held up in Langley and now London AMU, i Imagine this could be covid related, Is it during this time that the Royal Mail are unable to dispatch a letter outside UK in a week ?? Not a problem if this is known so could use DHL or similar

7 days? Count yourself lucky. My UK -> Canada parcel has been at HWDC for 17 days now with no updates, emails or otherwise.
