Title: Royal Mail
Post by: Kopitewarrior on September 12, 2012, 03:43 pm
So yeah an order was shipped on Saturday 1st class, but it still hasn't arrived today. What's going on here? Anyone else having/had really long deliveries with Royal Mail? Getting paranoid someone's intercepted it...

Hey man,
same problem here as you. Also been getting paranoid. Was a reship as well in fact which went out saturday and still no sign of it, the first order from this vendor never showed either .. What did you order? Maybe RM are intercepting the same ones...

Hope it arrives tomorrow for us

RM are a bit slow over the weekend. I've ordered Fri before and its come Wed (or thur) if I can remember so try not to panic too much. If it makes you feel better, run erasure on your computer to remove all traces of TSR including browser history, tor client etc if ur using windows.

Honestly though you should be fine - remember not all sales are necessarily "in transit" when vendors say they are.

Lots of people have had failed deliveries before (1 in 20 say) and nothings happened, not even a Love letter

tl;dr you should be fine.

Shit, mine was off ivory as well.. It can either be slow delivery cause of the backlog from olympics if you are near london or rm are catching on his packages.. I dont think ivory would scam domestically he is a great vendor

Yeah his reputation is flawless I'm not doubting him in the slightest, its just Royal Mail fucking up probably or like you said catching packages. Let us know if yours arrives!

Not here either, im quite pissed off. First order never turned up and now this one is taking ages.. I really hate rm, can anyone else experiencing delays (3+ business days for uk domestic) comment as well so we can get an idea about this situation and whether or not they are intercepting specifically ivory packages.

Well there's an MDMA vendor (UK based) up near the top (seems newish) that is saying on his profile page that RM are being particularly slow.

I ordered of a UK vendor which was marked 'in transit' on Wed

Still not here

Major sucks balls

It seems the Royal Mail should be renamed... the Royal Fail

Have a massive UK delay here as well. Ordered on last Sunday, sent out Monday, and still nothing. Vendor has immaculate feedback, and excellent communication, so I'm sure it's to do with RM. I guess it's possible that there was a serious fuck up in some sorting office, a whole batch of stuff got delayed, and now that all that mail has missed its target delivery times, it's gone to the back of the queue as their stupid system means that more recent mail will take priority.

Did your first order come through in the end or are you still waiting?

Which vendors did you use?
Title: Re: Royal Mail
Post by: strea70 on September 16, 2012, 09:40 pm
Sorry for not clarifying earlier, none of them have turned up. Frst was ivory which didnt come through after some weeks domestic so due to his awesomeness he agreed to reship but that one has been over a week so im wodering if rm are intercepting those or the depot is realy fucked wherever he is.

I can confirm that areas around London have been deeply affected by the RM backlog (which they are trying to deny exists).. orders from 2-3 weeks ago are still coming in. Less post than previously as well.. Part time RM staff are taking orders.. It is very annoying I can imagine but things will get fixed by the end of the week if not start of next, or at least I hope so haha. i am also waiting for some domestic orders..

Which vendor are you waiting on. At least if we can establish that there was an issue in a particular locale, then it would help that we know something is up and it's not just random.

Was from ivory as well which was in transit on the 10th. Though I have had a order from phase put in transit  on the 3rd arrived 14th. So I don't know when the delays have started or I was lucky. also I'm from the southern hemisphere.
Title: Re: Royal Mail
Post by: strea70 on September 26, 2012, 02:33 am
Very strange with Ivory, I had an order show from him and one that didn't (and I am UK - domestic).. might be guys intercepting his packages where he lives or just a massive postal problem.. either way if it's that long it must be a lost cause.

How did you find phase' md?

Post by: Limetless on September 26, 2012, 02:41 am

tuesday will be 3 weeks since my order from NBOME was marked in transit.  he hasn't been active on SR lately either and has no more listings.

he has good feedback so im hoping its just the lag, but 3 weeks is the longest  ive ever waiting for an order.
