Seems to be only the UK involved so may be the Russian Sanctions reply to the UK aggression + Skipral possibly This has been the norm for several years now, any parcels from the UK to me are sent only by Royal Mail Int signed for, never had a problem receiving anything yet, "touch wood", had a book arrive last week, 2 weeks these days, massive improvement on time to deliver a few years back.... |

  Location: South Oxfordshire | How old is this? I can't find a date on it anywhere. As Mel says, there seem to be no problems sending parcels with Royal Mail. Nadya sends 8 or 10 a year probably with them and touch wood, i think only one or two have failed to arrive in 10 years or more. They take about two to three weeks to arrive typically. |

      Location: In the Windmills of my mind... | A parcel was sent to me last Thursday from Scotland by Royal mail International signed for, I tracked it into Russia (Moscow) on the RM website, I then tracked it on the Russian postal service website directly to my (wooly wilds) local post office (a long way from Moscow), it arrived there yesterday evening, this morning I received the standard "come and collect your parcel" form in my post box (they don't deliver parcels), and popped along this afternoon to collect it, no problems and just about 1 week for delivery...
Well done RM & Russian postal service... |
