A very good family friend - sadly passed away.Used to work at the largest sorting office in the UK in London. Told us, that FIRST CLASS is the following day. And SECOND CLASS is THREE DAYS later.

There is a sorting office near me in Isleworth, and the posties that work there have told me that due to the poor management, the starting times have now been changed.

Posties used to start at 4am to sort mail. Thiss has not been changed to 6am.

This is WHY post is late.

I have had post delivered at 5pm. It used to be from 8am in the morning. and Second delivery at 12pm. This has now been scrapped.

This is why the Royal Mail is going down the plug hole

It is NOT next day. They will TRY to deliver next day but since the later sorting times and stopping the second deliveries then it may not always get there next day.

also many sorting offices and delivery offices were cut and reduced in number.
