How long are everyone's Royal Mail delays, or am I just the unfortunate one?

Hi folks it's that time of year again when Royal Mail decides to really piss you off just in case the swathes of Christmas songs on the radio isn't quite doing it.

I was just wondering how long people have been waiting for their letters

I placed 6 orders on the 3rd Dec, 3 domestic and 3 international.

I'm still waiting on a domestic order which the vendor told me had been shipped on the 9th and one international which was sent out on the 4th.

With regards to the other orders I received the domestic orders on the 5th and 8th and the international orders were received on the 6th and 12th.

I'm not sure if I should start getting worried or if it's just the time of the year.

Had a domestic order come through in two days this week just fine.

Had an international order come through in 5 days a few weeks back.

Depends where you are in the UK though and what you ordered, both orders of mine were bud.

It's likely to be the time of the year together with a couple of unofficial strikes. Royal Mail made an announcement a couple of days ago about possible delivery delays in many areas. But from their latest announcements it looks like things are now ok in most places.

My latest order was shipped on Wednesday and arrived today.

Edit: Some non-DNM mail was shipped on Thursday and also arrived today. Looks like you're just unlucky.
