| I have a number of orders that I've made on Bricklink, that remain stuck,
and undelivered in the postal system.
I've had one delivery via our regular Postman in two weeks.
Despite going down to my local Royal Mail Sorting Office this morning, nothing
was there that was from my Bricklink orders.
The conversation between The Postman at the sorting office went like this.
Staff are leaving in droves.
Royal Mail aren't replacing the staff who've left.
There isn't anyone to sort new packages arriving into slots to go out for
deliveries.
I asked how long this was going to go on for.
"Well it's not going to end anytime soon" was his reply.
My point is this.
TRACKED PACKAGES HAVE PREFERENCE FOR DELIVERIES.
1st Class post, doesn't receive preference over 2nd Class.
Please consider making this the only option currently available for deliveries,
or it's quite likely that your orders won't arrive for the foreseeable
future. Tracked will have some recompense if it is lost.
Result will be unhappy customers, and refunds for 'Lost' orders.

According to RM, they have problems in the following delivery offices:
Bracknell DO (RG12, RG42 and RG45)
Newent DO (GL18)
Port Ellen DO (PA42 to PA49)
Pulborough DO (RH20)
Sandhurst DO (GU46-GU47)
West Norwood DO (SE27)
Winterbourne DO (BS36)
Is yours one of those?

| They seem to be delivering well in my area. I've had four "The Occupier"
addressed letters this week. When the mail (letter) system seems to be overloaded
it seems crazy that some companies are still sending so much junk mail.
