HAVING read the write up on the first class postal service (EA June 6) I wanted to tell you of my experience.
On Monday, June 2, I posted a 21st birthday card including a cheque from Wootton Bassett, I am sure it was in time to catch one of the collections on that day.
It had a first class stamp on it and the post code.
It didn't arrive at a Bedfordshire address until Friday, June 6, when I needed it to arrive by Wednesday, June 4.
On another occasion in June 2001 when I wanted a silver wedding card to arrive at the same address that was late by several days and that had also been posted in good time.
