They are a total disgrace. Who are they there to serve - themselves?

I was stood behind a lady at our local post office in Perth and she asked the person at the counter 'what the cut off date for letters to reach Ireland for Christmas?' she was told 20th November. I couldn't believe it. What is the point of sending Christmas cards if they have to be posted in November. I now resort to phone calls, emails, WhatsApp or others.

Hi,

 

I realised, quite a while (e.g. 5+ years) ago, that ‘normal’ UK postal service was not to be relied upon to delivery posted letter/cards, etc…

 

Instead of sending letters I now just email, or message, people.

 

For special occasions (e.g.  Birthdays, Festive occasions, etc..) I use MoonPig (online website) to  send cards as delivery is always good (i.e. on time) and prompt.

 

It’s not cheap but at least stuff arrives.

 

Don’t just go on my experience, or suggestion, as other companies (especially online) must exist that offer similar services/options.
