You know when you purchase an item online - you are sometimes given a choice re postage
like £1.99, £3.99 etc
what actually happens does the sender refrain from sending quicker per se
I have tracked an online purchase and it has been sitting in north west RDC - is that an English post office or northern ireland from Monday 11 March - should it not have arrived by now - postman just gone.
....I had an item direct from Philips in The Netherlands. Ordered on Thursday morning......arrived Friday morning - less than 24 hours by DPD, and no carriage costs at all!
