Never had delays before but they do say to allow one or two extra days due to the weather. Had an order despatched last Tuesday with an estimated delivery date of 4th, Saturday. Usually have them on the 2nd or 3rd day after despatch. Even allowing for the extra days I should have had it today. Anyone else had items dispatched last Tuesday and still waiting?

The snow where I am is bad though - we had another 7 inches yesterday!
Slough is London. I didn't think the weather was bad on the 29th though so I would personally be chasing that one
Me! :cool: I made sure that it was something small that it could be send via Royal Mail and put through the letterbox if need be, but still not received it. But it's not that urgent, I'll only worry if my account shows that it has been received by me when it hasn't!!
(I'm aware this hasn't been the most exciting post.
They were delivering across the North East on Sunday gone (but I believe that was mainly because there'd been no postal deliveries all week)
I've had no post since 12 days ago, can't wait for when Royal Mail eventually get off their arses
And yesterday's weather will not have helped either. In the last 2 weeks we've only had 3 days of post.
Did you miss the bit about the letters posted within my own town? 2nd class posted on the 30th, arrived today. 1st class posted on the 3rd, arrived today. Royal Mail are rubbish.
The first class delivery was technically within Royal Mail's usual delivery estimates-since Sunday is not a working day, if you posted it after the last collection on Friday 3rd it would not have been collected until saturday morning arrived until Monday at the earliest and would still have only taken a day from collection to delivery. As it was, it took two. If you posted it in time for Friday's last collection, it took three. First class post can take 1-3 working days. Second class post tends not to be highly prioritized when there's a backlog caused by a period of bad weather and can usually take 3-5 working days anyway, as advertised. There is nothing wrong with the service you have received.
Just checked the order status though and 1 has been dispatched, 15 are dispatching soon and 1 isn't doing a great deal yet. So I'm feeling a little better, and hopefully will arrive by the 25th!!!
Coolboy lives in Scotland which has been fairly badly hit with snow, so the delivery is likely stuck halfway up the country.
I've never had an experience like that when buying from Amazon themselves. Was your book bought from Amazon or just off Amazon and from a private seller using their system?

The snow has gone here now, but in some parts it's still going on! So it's not about where it is going to or even where it's coming from, it can even be a problem in between!
