I sent a parcel "guaranteed 24 hr delivery" last Friday. Finally turned up at its destination in the Midlands 6 days later. The whole service is farcical.

There is no guarantee just now. I know lots of people waiting on deliveries that were sent 'guaranteed' next day delivery and this is after 4, 5 and one a week of waiting. It's a small problem compared to what some people are experiencing just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the **** do people keep coming out with this pish like they're some sort of Seer capable of seeing things the rest of us mere mortals have no insight to. No-one is comparing a shite service from the Royal Mail to someones granny dying or a loved one lying in intensive care. I think its fair to say most people have a reasonably good angle on that. But despite "what some people are experiencing just now" whinging ones bollocks off about shite that in the grand scheme of life isnt that important hasnt, as yet, been banned. Nor does it have the slightest effect on "what some people are experiencing just now". So why not just gies peace with this sanctimonious pish and let folk moan eh?

Alex Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 If we're still not back in next season, it would be good if the club could look into getting a few boxes couriered to the club shop for sale. Apreciate that that won't help folk who aren't around the Edinburgh area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henryheart Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Not arrived yet, but I'm not surprised as I had mail that was posted first class 7 days ago arriving through my letterbox this lunchtime. Rather than putting the price of post up, Royal Mail should be compensating customers for its dismal performance. To blame on Covid (they have had 8 months to redesign how they work) and Christmas (it's not like we've never had one before) is rather lame.

Francis Albert Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 My double programme for the Ayr and Arbroath games arrived yesterday and impressively includes a double spread page on the final - admittedly just one sentence and one picture of the team lined up for the penalty shoot out. All programmes have arrived at latest on the morning of the game. So poor performance suffered by many is certainly down to the Post Office not Curtis Sport. They even sent me a Christmas Card!

will-i-am-a-jambo Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I've still not received the Cup Final programme which l ordered on 13th Dec. For those still waiting: l emailed them and their office is now shut until 4th January. Extremely poor service.

Yoda Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm still waiting on my Cup Final programme. I emailed the company yesterday and got a prompt response to say it was defo posted out and issues may be with the Royal Mail. I've been getting mail every day, so I can't blame my local post office. I did read that there had been a Covid breakout ( 40 people) at a large sorting office in Glasgow, so they may still be stuck there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleJambo Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 My one arrived yesterday in deepest South London. My son and daughter looked at it and said "Why did you get one when you couldn't go and after that result?" My response - "Just see what it will be worth in 20 years' time (£7.00?!) and imagine the stories if we had won." Piece of history regardless of the result.

Devorgilla Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Still no “names” cup final programme with me in Dumfries, as of 23/12. Regardless of COVID, it always seemed ambitious to send out programmes 8 days before Christmas and expect them to be delivered in a day or two. I would assume that it was all, or nearly all, written weeks ago so why leave printing and distribution to the last minute? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still no Cup Final programme, but based on my current experiences of the Royal Mail I'm not surprised. Maybe tomorrow.... or maybe not?

stuarty1874 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Picked up my Cup Final programme on Sat 19th having pre-ordered from GP Programmes in Bathgate. If you are based in West Lothian, George has a great wee shop to browse and is great for a blether (under normal conditions of course), but you can also do a click and collect from there during these tier 4 times. Cowdenbeath, Alloa and Arbroath aways were issued and George had them all. Great selection of non-league programmes from this season as well from many local clubs, Broxburn Athletic, Blackburn United, Stoneyburn, Edinburgh United, Penicuik and Leith Athletic. Broxburn Athletic programmes this season also available from myself, having taken over editorial duties this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
