I'm about to buy something online from Back Market and the only delivery option is 'royal mail' .  I'm hoping once I buy it I'll get a message with tracking info but it doesn't specify, it just says arrives within 2 working days.

Mail delivery has still been terrible in our area (Lacon Road SE22) but a neighbour told me it's now better for parcels as they tend to prioritise them. Has anyone had parcels delivered either on time - or late??

I think delivery problems are chiefly for post, not parcel post, as regards delivery by Royal Mail. However do remember that large parcels are delivered, or not, by Parcel Force, which is a separate operating company from Royal Mail. But I think 'Royal Mail' should mean what it says, in which case parcel delivery is prioritised over normal letter post

Always had a good service from Royal Mail on deliveries. I also use 48 Tracked for sending small parcels, and only £3.39 when purchased online, very reliable and easy to follow updates. Some of the other "postal delivery services" tend to leave them in the front garden or doorstep and bugger off!

I received a LARGE parcel last week, definitely delivered by our usual RM van driver and not by Parcel Force and tracked on Royal Mail website.

I'm round the corner from Lacon Road and received two other smaller packages last week sent 48 hour tracking which arrived within the 48 hours- despite tracking showing they went from the Midlands via Aberdeen to East Dulwich.

    • Excited to welcome Banook to the neighbourhood. Love a good bagel.
    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
