Thought as much alright !

Just something important to be sent that i dont really want going missing !

Yeah, next day delivery, nationally, is the norm.

But does that really excuse the cost to our society? That's the real question here!

Down with this sort of thing.

If it's important then register the letter. Otherwise it might go missing.

As long as you've written 'important' on the envelope, that's the same as registering.

Rookie error.
If anyone sees that, they're gonna rip it open and see what valuable info / inserts await inside.
In future, always write 'Not Important' or 'CGAF' (Couldn't Give A Fiddlers) on it to ensure safe and prompt delivery.

The actual statistic is that 94% of items posted using standard post are delivered the next working day. That is also assuming that they are posted prior to the Last Time Of Posting (ie. when the postman empties the postbox or collects items from the post office). There is usually a sign on the postbox indicating when the items are collected. If you post it after the LTOP, add one working day to when it will be delivered.

Rookie error, yep.

Some postal guy is probably rubbing it on his beard as we speak!

Never write "important' on a letter.

You may as well write "cash inside."

Turtyturd · 03-09-2014 10:39am

How quick it will get there has no bearing on it getting there safely.

MistyCheese · 03-09-2014 10:39am

A guy in England liked to see how far he could push the postmen.

There is always a sign with the time. Unless some of them have a sign saying Guess what time this box is cleared??

Dave Gorman did an experiment on tv programme where he sent money through the post in iwindowed envelopes to see if they arrived and they all did.

Are you sure it didn't arrive just a few minutes ago?

The only morning post I ever saw in Galway was a stray copy of a South Chinese newspaper in Easons back in July 1997.
