Question Parcel Force

How long should standard UK delivery take? Posted a parcel off 8 days ago and it has still not arrived. Should I be worried or is this normal for them. I am sure they said 3 working days, but I may need my ears cleaning

I posted a big 13KG package on Monday (Guildford to Telford) by their cheapest service. It was delivered today. So, yes I would have thought it should be there by now.

i sent an intercooler the other day

it was a friday and the woman said it would be £18 special delivery, guaranteed delivery on the monday by noon. Normal parcel delivery was £9 (same insurance as special delivery) and she said it would take up to 7 days.

I went for the £9 option.......the intercooler arrived at its destination on the monday morning

Go figure. £9 saved.

Perfectly normal. Parcel Farce steal about 60% of my mail, on average.

No, I'm not joking
