So, a first class stamp is now £1.70 - a lot of money for an envelope.
I am waiting for a birthday card, posted first class on the 28/4, so it should have arrived by the end of the day on the 1st May. But, it has not.
Recently I ordered a small part on eBay, which was to be delivered Tracked 24.
We assumed that the part had been lost, so the seller kindly sent another via DPD. The DPD order arrived within 24 hours, and eventually the Royal Mail item arrived - 168 hours late!
