    I had Mrs Kodiak's Christmas Present delivered at 11.10 hrs this Morning by Royal Mail.

    Great service by Royal Mail as it was posted in Swansea on Thursday Evening at 17.30 hrs.

    To come From Swansea to Thurso in this weather in the time it did is what you call great service. Well done to Royal Mail.

    We had our post delivered at 7 pm last night - but then again, out in the sticks does not help..

    It was reported on the News yesterday that Royal Mail were delivering today, Sunday, to ease the backlog of deliveries.

    When I heard this I said to Mrs Kodiak, "That is great news, but I bet they don't deliver up here in Caithness" Just how wrong was I, Royal Mail were out in force today delivering all over Caithness, Well Done.

    I would be very careful stating what you just did, as posting things like that on a public forum could be looked on as Libel.

    Also Royal Mail's advice is to never send Money or Vouchers by Recorded Delivery, these items should be sent Special Delivery as that way they are fully insured.

    To be honest, Im not that bothered if someone has taken the contents of the letter - I just hope they needed it more than I did!

    Im hoping Dad will make it up Commore - the flight into and out of Wick has happened today, so there is hope for Wednesday.

    On the whole though, Royal Mail have been fantastic, and should my letter arrive at some point, then great! (Although it was a christmas present to be sent out again, so plan B came into operation yesterday!)
