If an item is sent recorded on sat morning does that dat count as a working day?

And is due today?

*that

[ummmm]

If it's recorded you can usually track it.

I don't think weekends are classed as working days.

Ive tracked it on the site it says its in there system and they recieved it at 7am sat, just wondering if i should wait in because if they leave a card i have to go to the otherside of the city to collect it.

It's 50/50 I'm afraid! Same thing happened to me last week but the parcel travelled on Monday and actually arrived on Tuesday. Although they didn't have it by 7am on Saturday it was a fair bit later than that.

I'd stay put if you can. Sorry can't be certain.

[ummmm]

With Royal Mail you can arrange for redelivery if you miss it. They have the instructions on the back of the card they leave.

[ummmm]

You get to pick the day then.

It is Not compulsory to collect a package which couldn't be delivered to you. You can make arrangements by telephone or book 'on line' for the item to be re-delivered 'free of charge'.

I know, I have done it. Click the following for information about re-delivery:-

Recorded Delivery is not tracked - in detail. Just receipt and delivery IIRC

Special Delivery is

For items posted on a Saturday it depends on whether they get the last collection on the Saturday - at my local PO it can be as early as 0900 - as to how far and how quickly they get

So did it or didn't it arrive today Ronnie?
