Title: Question for ukdane (and other European subscribers)
Post by: skull.ring on 30 May, 2006, 03:45:17 PM
Hi ukdane,

During the last few weeks I've noticed a significant deterioration in the quality of the postal service from the UK to The Netherlands.

Therefore I was just wondering which day of the week, on average, you usually receive your Prog ?

Are there any other European subscribers who have been experiences delays in receiving their weekly dose of Thrill Power ?

Cheers

Mark

Well my prog used to get to me here in Norway on Tuesdays (I'm sure, I think), but then Daney pointed out that his progs arrived on a Monday, so the Norwegian Postal Service obviously read that thread, decided they weren't going to be outdone by the bloody Danes, and started delivering my progs on Mondays.  It's the only explanation, except a few I'm saving for a Future Shock.

Anyway, deliveries on Mondays here.

Hi Ming,

Thanks for the info, over the last few weeks my Prog has been arriving on a Friday or a Saturday, so nearly a week behind.

Maybe I'll give Denise in subs a quick ring.....

Cheers

My prog arrives here in Germany mostly on Monday, sometimes a couple of days later which is a problem of our postal service I guess.

Normally delivery is on a Monday.

Once in a while, it does get delayed a few days though.

Sometimes I feel the effect of bank holiday post too, and it doesn't get delivered until later, even though the post was sent our long before the actual bank holiday.

I normally wait until Thursday before informing Denise that it hasn't arrived, so that she's aware of it. I don't request a new one until the following Monday (ie if the new prog arrives first).

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the info.

As I already ready mentioned, until aprrox. 4-6 weeks ago I too used to get my Prog on a Monday or Tuesday. Now I'm lucky if I receive it by Friday.

I will give Denise a call but I don't expect there's much she can do about it.......

Cheers
