My order of 8 items ( of £380) placed on 29 November 2020, was not posted till a whole 9 days later, thus meeting a greater backlog in the postal services. The result is that on 7th January 2021 ( 40 days after the order), these items are still in transit. Eight people did not get their Christmas gifts. I wish you had posted earlier and offered Courier delivery such as UPS or DHL at a cost greater than Royal Mail, but giving your international customers the choice to a) receive goods after they were needed at Royal Mail costs, or b) to pay extra postage and get them on time.
