    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    Well the exact wording is 'We expect to deliver it on..' I know and accept that deliveries can be later than expected times but my point is that other couriers consistently deliver withing their expected times while Royal Mail are consistently late.

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    So I had another parcel due to be delivered by Royal Mail today, the tracking when I checked at 8am this morning said delivery due between 9:35am and 12:35pm. It hasn't arrived, and the tracking has not been updated, it still says due today between 9:35am and 12:35pm. They really are just the...

    What did you buy today?

    I've never been drawn to the beige colours but actually it looks great in person and a little more subtle than most of the other colours I have

    What did you buy today?

    My Helikon-Tex Wolfhound in US Woodland arrived, and first impressions are good, a nice, lightweight synthetic insulated jacket! I also picked up a rather charming little Karrimor Jag 1 for about £6

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    This is a very common occurence where I live in South Wales where they are all terraced houses. Walk down the street during the day and you will likely see numerous parcels left on doorsteps.

    Open University.

    Thank you! It is just the first assessment which was not very difficult, although the first half were self reflection type questions which I usually find difficult, and I did consider that maybe they purposely score high to boost peoples confidence, but I'm happy anyway. I just need to figure...

    Open University.

    Just another little update, I handed in my first TMA (Teacher Marked Assessment) on 6th November which I scored 92% in. I have my second TMA to hand in in 2 weeks. I'm taking a massive liking to the law side of this module and even considering doing a degree in just law.

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    Amazon are usually really good although a few days ago I had coffee beans delivered whilst I was in work so they put them in a safe place, the safe place being hidden in the skip that was outside my house, which I thought was pretty risky seeing as the skip was full and waiting to be taken away!

    Unfortunately, my phone camera is not good enough to capture the writing of the brochure but I'll see if I can scan it when I get home from work.

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    I wonder if different locations have better or worse services with the different couriers. Although something I've noticed is that on Trustpilot, Evri has 4.1 stars, InPost has 4.7 stars, and Royal Mail has 1.5 stars!

    karrimor marathon 2 tent

    Looks great! If you'd like to learn the history of older gear of all sorts, Mike Parsons book 'Invisible on Everest is a good read.

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    I've had deliveries from Evri and InPost this week which were completely fine. But I don't even have an tracking update from RM yet on my parcel from Poland. I've never used lockers so have no experience with them, I have a small shop close to my house which takes InPost, no lockers.

    karrimor marathon 2 tent

    So cool. I have a rather large collection of Karrimor backpacks from the 70's, 80's and 90's and I have an original Karrimor Karrimat. Would love an old Karrimor tent to add to the collection.

    Why is Royal Mail so rubbish

    I buy and sell a fair bit on second hand sites like Vinted, Depop, eBay etc. and typically send or receive through either Royal Mail, Evri or InPost. I have to say that Evri and InPost are absolutely brilliant, they almost always hit their target delivery times, in fact I cannot remember the...

    Post pics of your old Karrimor back packs!

    I recently picked up this Karrimor Hot Earth. It's the same colour as my much bigger Aiguille Alpine Equipment backpack. I used this Hot Earth recently on a training day with mountain rescue and found it very comfortable. As I was concentrating on the activities at hand I forgot it was even on...
