Posted a small padded envelope to my landlord in Reading on the way to work and the counter lady had it weighed and sorted in two minutes. Tracking showed it arrived the next morning, so no complaints from me.

Read moreWent in to the post office with a small box for my brother in Newcastle and the thing that stood out was the tracking page, which updated almost every hour, so I knew when it hit the depot. Handed over at the counter on a Tuesday lunchtime and it was with him by Thursday morning. Couldn't ask for more really, just wish the counter queue had been shorter.

Sent a box of plants to my sister and compared it with a rival courier first, which was about a fiver cheaper for the same weight. The tracking here was clearer and the delivery was on time. Felt a bit overpriced for what it was, mind.
I needed to get a recorded delivery sent to a solicitor because the paperwork had to arrive with a signature. Queue at the counter was long and the lady behind the desk was rushed. It did arrive, but it took a day longer than the website had suggested.
