Postal crisis

I thought first world problems were for the Waitrose forums?

Announcement from parcelforce and royal mail that they have suspended sending parcels to Europe.
And dhl says they won't be shipping to the uk due to transport restrictions!
Ridiculous!!!

M&S short of reduced fat hummus again?

Aha, I was intending to sort myself some rims for a BMX project (I'm in Australia, they're in the UK) and noticed today they'd changed their shipping to UK only, did wonder what the story was. No matter, will try again when things settle a bit; people are priority one.

Regular Royal Mail & their onward partners - I'm finding Australia, USA & Canada giving me the longest delivery times at moment - 20+ days. Sweden switches between fast 6 days to 30 days plus. Rest of Europe, 4-10 days. UK no change until this last week which is to be expected.

The useless vacuous tat I've ordered has turned up surprisingly quick

Good to know! Although I'm in no hurry, as long as it arrives eventually I'm all good.

Re:

Looks like Rose bikes has stopped all trade with the UK now, not just premade bikes.
Go Brexit
(this isn't Covid related, sorry).

There has also been a lot* of theft by couriers and wrong address deliveries around here as well, just to add to the current joys of deliveries.


*a lot being more noticeable than normal.

Along with the things to dip into it, like celery and other vegetables.

As a confirmed meat devour'er I can't but help laugh my a$$ off at the predicament vegans are now facing :twisted:

If Mrs Ace can't get her vegan chocolate and Koko milk there will be hell to pay! Pitchforks and marching on Westminster levels of fury! She can't abide cruelty to animals but cruelty to humans . . . in those circumstances . . . For Boris, it's either head for a bunker or head on a spike methinks! :shock:
