Seeing a lot of "oh its royal mail" or "just this time of year" this is all fair enough in some cases, however heres a scenario, I ordered yesterday AM sndd on 2 parcels from 2 sellers, waay before the cut offs, NEITHER of these has even been marked as sent yet (a day and a half later) im seeing on the sellers page that others (reviewed biggas) all saying one day to arrive on their items, mine hasnt even left the sellers, despite me paying both sellers $10 for a sndd service? So yes its easy to say blame royal mail, but unfortunately NOT ALL late deliveries are the posties fault, just because its christmas! Its bad enough getting mugged off by royal mail for late post but I dont expect to be mugged off by a seller charging for sndd but not even SENDING for 2 days, royal mail need to physically have the item for them to have the best chance of delivering it on time!
