they apparently posted it Friday of last week...
Perhaps they haven't posted it yet.
Cross-posted. I think it should have been with you by now. Give them a ring and ask if they've sent it.

i spoke with them friday and they said it had gone in the post that day.
It takes longer than two days with all the covid restrictions. First class takes longer too, at least it does in my neck of the woods.
//Second-class letters and cards in the UK are regarded as less urgent mail, and can take up to two to three working days for delivery.//

as i said they told me it was posted Friday, i am worried that its got lost. Its important because its about H/B and they want the info back asap.

this is London to London.... i will give it another day and if not phone them for a second copy....
It usually takes between 3-4 days now. I posted my Grandsons birthday card and it took 4 days to get to him 2nd class
Ring them today and ask for second copy. Probably put into wrong letterbox and you will never get it.
How do they send the non important ones?
Pony and trap?
Mind you sounds like it would be quicker
Question Author
i have known their letters to take ten days, this one is important re housing benefit, they want my bank statments and other documentation so i need to get the stuff back to them before too long.
I have always allowed 5 days when posting 2nd class.
Question Author
counting friday, that;s 5 days already.
As said above by Dannyk is the official Post Office line on it :-

that should read counting saturday, if posted friday should be here already,
Question Author
i wouldn't worry so much but they are the ones requesting my info, before i reach retirement age. they have given me 4 weeks, so should be plenty of time, but they send return envelopes that are second class too.
I posted about the Royal Mail earlier this month emmie. A card took 8 days to arrive 2nd class to me.

thanks basel. will wait for todays post, if nothing will ring them up. its a shame we can't do this electronically.
You don't have to use their return envelope. Use your own envelope and put a first class stamp on it.
