Title: Warning to UK Buyers - get your christmas orders in early
Post by: B1-66ER on October 23, 2012, 05:55 am
Never forget how terrible the Royal Mail are this time of year.

It's going to snow too, so don't count on any packages showing up in december.

I agree, if you want to get your stuff in time just order before mid November. Royal Mail is a very very good service in my opinion but it's true, a bit of snow and the nation goes in panic, no trains no cabs no deliveries
I don't understand how they can always be so not ready for snow, UK is not the most warm country in the world, is it?!
On the other side if you are not in a rush during Christmas there will be a huge amount of parcels and letters to handle so I assume the controls will be less accurate in order to keep up with the deliveries and this can be and advantage for all of us :)

But this is just my idea!
