Just to update, after 24 days the package landed today. So keep the faith folks. Mine hadnt moved until 15 days after it was posted!

Yes I have a few stuck in mailing centres after clearing customs, they move eventually, had one move after 3 weeks lol

I don’t appreciate RM being on strike. Back in September,waited 8 days for a delivery for my wife who has ME. Seems they expect a pay rise coz they worked through covid. So did I and all I got was a £10 Argos voucher. If they can’t guarantee delivery as stated, it should be free. Sooner RM goes bust the better.

It's not because of work during Covid. They just don't want pay cut due to inflation like other striking. Yeah I get it, its inconvenient but if it wasn't, strikes would make no sense.. that's whole point, it need to make impact in order to influence change. We are being fucked by rich and corrupt govs. We probably need more strikes really and somehow change this messed up system (pipe dream I know) btw where is my pipe?

Postman by any chance! 🤣🤣🤣

I have 3 orders in transit. One on since last week. 2 days of strikes last week, and 2 this week. Its beyond joke now. I supported RM before, but it a fucking nonsense now.

Also, vendors here should have an option for fast delivery with extra $$ if customer is willing to pay.

I really had enough of this bullshit now. For FUCKS SAKES, it makes me so fucking angry RN.

Most vendors offer special NDD which is still running fairly smoothly

Ordered on 21 nov, still not recieved 1st class packages.
We even have lost business's on LB who most probably ran their business using royal mail.

Is yours stuck in a post office? Mine seems to be just sitting there with no movement at all.

I had this issue a few weeks back after a 2 day strike. Package sat at Greenford for 3 days until I messaged their help desk stating it was stuck at an office and was shipped the next day

Good work Ninja but try not to call them as it could cause problems for the sender as they will ask questions like whats the name of the sender etc which u will never know and it could cause a ripple effect.

Also explore all possibilities like your out house, next door neighbor where it may of been left look for card on door mat etc.

Yep I have the same, ordered last thursday first class, still nothing as of yet

Nightmare!

Yes because it is building up and like when a sink gets blocked it needs to be fixed first until all these problems stop it's that simple plus mother nature is not helping with snow and ice.

And also add into the equation that there are alot of temps on 0-hour contracts who don't give a fuck and are rifling as they are brought in as seasonal workers this time of year in sorting depots and are also at it.

All of these factors combined lead to one big fuck up!

I have a theory that if you order just before a strike day your pack will sit at a depot but gets buried under all the backlogged mail that comes through after the strike day. Posties and sorters aren’t going to pick from the bottom of the pile meaning if you order after a strike day that pack is probably going to come through before the pack ordered before the strike day, if that makes sense.

There is just no way of catching up on the back log after strike days. Add on Xmas volumes, reduced staff and far fewer seasonal workers and according to my Postie (who is a superstar) it would take until the NY to get out everything currently stacked even if there were no more strike days…😱😱

You can dispute to protect yourself, and can also cancel the dispute if it arrives.

It has been 1 week with a lot of strikes and shit weather thrown in with the Christmas period. If they’re an established and trusted vendor on here then you’ve nothing to worry about honestly. Not much the vendors can do once it’s in the hands of Royal Mail.

Thankyou for your wisdom/input

Dispute. Some of these vendors take the piss

Well out of the 7 days so far 4 of them have been strike days and what has not been mentioned much is lots and lots of snow and ice on the 11th right at the start of the week which also causes everything to grind to a halt.

So with all of those factors, you would need your own personal helicopter to guarantee a 24hr turnaround,

Thats a very good point, theres no snow where I live so I did not consider this. Thankyou. As I say, I dont want to screw anyone over at all, just new/inexperienced and wanted to make sure im not being fooled.

Ask away it's better to be safe than sorry :)

Just as a side note l, I know it's quite expensive but if you can afford it always get Special NDD where available. Tracked 24 is shite and takes just as long as standard 1st class.

As a rule of thumb, I would wholeheartedly agree with this.

Unfortunately I've purchased from a vendor recently, **with** Special Delivery, and still not received the order, 10 days later.

Vendor refuses to reply to messages or share any tracking details so it looks increasingly fishy AF tbh

When it arrives check the packaging, it will say whether it was posted special or just tracked 24.

WeedstarTHC for me.

Great products (from previous successful orders) but less than exemplary customer service!

They had some great distillate prices, but the inconsistent reviews put me off. Glad i trusted my instincts.

Yeah fraid so, couple other biggas messaged me with similar issues same vend.

To give you some reassurance the 24hr tracked parcels posted 6th December have a printed deliver by date on the front of the 14th December! So there is not even any pressure at all from RM on the posties to get these delivered at all. It’s a 7 /8 day turnaround for 24hr tracked which is nuts ! If you are new don’t let this put you off. The failure rate on here is tiny and you will get your money back if it doesn’t turn up. I’ve had 1 not turn up in 2 years ! Only 1. And I got a 💯 refund on it. Stick only to the long term consistency of vendors like the gentlemen dealers, Canadian imports, the green team, pistach, and green tech and you will not be let down by them ever. The post might but they will have been speedy in getting it out to you their end 👍 hope this helps

Thankyou for your wisdom/input

Hey buddy, sorry to hear about your no show news . I've been on lb around 6 months so still learning new things every day. I think there's alot of items stuck in the system at the moment.
Like Greentech said so many reasons for potential delays. It's shite with it being your 1st order, have faith bro , they usually show 🤞
I've been waiting 16 days for 1st class send 28/11 , currently disputing to cover my btc would be ok with reship
Good luck bro

Thankyou for your wisdom/input

Welcome to site mate.

I’ve ordered a couple of times…

Only had a handful of no shows.

First thing, message seller. Even with strikes just as a friendly heads up.
Some will have tracking and be kind enough to check it for you to ease the stress of not knowing.

If no reply’s to message after a day or so of online activity open dispute as soon as available.

Some big vendors get slammed with orders and messages ao can take a bit.

My best vendors though (even the big ones) will ALWAYS keep in touch!

Hope yours lands mate 🤞

you definitely wont win a dispute as you are new and it looks dodgy but if its a established vendor chances are you'll get your order sooner or later, keep in mind there was a RM strike for 2 days this week aswell

Aaargh, I have a dispute with a vendor too and I'm worried I'll lose mine too as my account is kinda new too.

Are disputes automatically settled, or does someone actually read through the 'facts' of the case?

Fingers crossed for you today Panic 🤞

Not arrived yet, however, my back up order i made a couple days ago did arrive, shout out to TheGreenTeam ! Thanks guys

Tgt a solid choice mate, budget range has helped me loads in recent tougher times 🤜

Alls well that ends well! I'm pretty sure it will get there. I'm leaving work to check my mail. Waiting on 3 orders from 3 vendors... wish me luck!

Thats commitment! Good luck brother !

We have a winner - CI package arrived today. Just in time for the weekend. Happy days. Have a good one guys.

Definitely dispute. You can always cancel it. Looking at the vendors page there are a few biggas with the same issue.

Thankyou for your wisdom/input
