Rant About The Royal Mail

Oh yeah. Before I go I want to have a rant about the Royal Mail.

I ordered a bunch of stuff for my lovely wife for Valentines last week (hello lovely wife!). One of the things was a box with some balloons and some other bits and pieces (just novelty stuff). For fun.

The supplier (http://www.balloonsbypost.com/ - who incidentally have some great gift balloon packages and will bend over backwards to be helpful - and they're a charity too!) duly posted everything off in plenty of time.

Whereupon the Royal Mail decided the best thing to do with a "Next Day, Before Midday" package would be to ship it to the wrong hub, leave it in a corner and deliver it almost a week later.

They finally managed to deliver the package this morning. Rather than the requested last Wednesday. So maybe when they say "next day" they really mean "next monday".

So well done Royal Mail. Thanks very much.
