Monday is a Bank Holiday in England and Wales (celebrating our pagan origins) so I will not be dispatching orders now until Tuesday. Better have them here than sitting in a Royal Mail warehouse for an extra day (not to mention Royal Mail&#8217;s well documented first in, last out policy for mail backlogs).<\/p>\n<p>Apologies for the lack of posts\/updates recently &#8211; there hasn&#8217;t been much to tell. It&#8217;s really just been a lot of chasing up suppliers for updates on delayed deliveries, that sort of thing. I&#8217;ve been doing a bit of work on the website writing new shipping modules &#8211; you may have noticed Royal Mail tracked 24 as an option now. While not a guaranteed service I&#8217;d estimate that 99% of the orders I&#8217;ve dispatched with this service since I started using it just before Christmas arrive the next day. A benefit is the ability for customers to designate a &#8220;safe place&#8221; for the postie to leave their package if they are out\/it is too big to fit through a letterbox, saving you a trip to the Sorting\/Post Office to collect.<\/p>\n<p>I hope I&#8217;ll be able to implement a new service for international neck orders over the weekend. I&#8217;ve spent a few hours on it today and hope to button it up and test it tonight\/tomorrow. Basically it will be Royal Mail Tracked and a few pounds cheaper than UPS\/Parcelforce to most locations in Europe (and a lot cheaper to some).<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the long weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, yes it is.
