I see Royal Mail have MILLIONS of un - processed international packages waiting to be processed for their onward journey in Milton Keynes. From my post office that is only just over 3 and half hours away. It has taken them over a month to process tracking from when I sent items to there and they have been there a month now as well. Still not carrying on to their international destinations which is SHOCKING to say the least. Most buyers will have been refunded now by ebay and millions of ebay sellers are in the same boat being fobbed off by their " cyber attack story NONSENSE " and we are dealing with the back log as fast as possible. That is what happens when you go on strike and do not process items every day like you are supposed to at the busiest time of year. Clearly all this was to the ever increasing downfall of what was once a great British company of Royal Mail. They are loosing £ millions of pounds per day from lost revenue and have LOST millions of customers in 3 months. RM have a guaranteed service - guaranteed to disappoint !!
Global shipping program delivers the majority of items but it has some archaic rules and regs regarding what it deems as RESTRICTED items. Seems they do not trust their own delivery people to deliver certain antiques, coins, jewellery, mother of pearl or meerschaum pipes. Common Sense should prevail but of course that is TOO easy.
