Barry,sorry mate ,disagree!!.The best postal service in the world and THATS OFFICIAL!!!.97% OF 1ST CLASS MAIL GETS THERE NEXT DAY!!!.How can that be bad,considering the millions of letters we handle everyday.Ok,You had a very bad experience,but if Amazon had done their job properly in the first place,you wouldn`t have had the hassle.Royal mail isn`t perfect,and its only the bad mistakes people tend to pick up on.Last xmas i delivered a Xmas card from New Zealand all the card had on it was the name of the person [Christian name only] and the town where this person lived!!!!.But through sheer detective work and a bit of local knowledge this person received the card and photos from his sister!!!!!!!!.And we get letters and packets like this every single day,but ARE delivered,and nothing is said about these whatsoever.You brits dont know you`re born,go and live abroad and taste the delivery services over there..you`ll be bloody shocked.For the price of a 30p stamp you get a letter delivered anywhere in the country...a bloody bargain,and if anyone thinks they can do it cheaper.....you`re welcome to try.
