My father works for Royal Mail and it has now been confirmed that next day deliveries have now been cancelled as they cannot cope with the sheer backlog (over 1 billion items of mail undelivered due to the snow). Also there is no guarantee anything ordered online over the last week to 10 days will arrive in time for Christmas! They just can't cope with the backlog of undelivered mail!
Has anybody seen an official statement by Royal Mail that confirms this.

I know they had suspended special delivery last week because they couldn't guarantee next day delivery, website still says they can't guarantee it.
How original, considering the volume of mail that gets delivered and the logistic problems they have there will be problems.
A lot of the other companies have their problems but they're on a smaller scale.
I work for Royal Mail,I wish you could see inside our mail centre before posting crap like that!
Spot on,there's four hours overtime on top of your eight hour shift every day if you want it,and I even went in yesterday on my day off.
Only just read this comment. A week late, just like anything else posted by royal mail.
Run up to Xmas they put on Sunday deliveries, not sure if same happens with Parcel Force but when I worked there a few years back we delivered on Sundays as well.
There's a few problems at my depot at the moment as not only is their the bad weather, some idiots have decided to carry out an experiment with the way the mail is delivered. I think instead of bikes the posties get dropped off on the routes and have to do it a certain way, what doesn't get done then rolls over to the next day.
They started this end of November, it was probably dreamt up by a few graduates with no experience of the job.
