I ordered goods from Tracytools around 10.pm last Thursday, arrived Monday lunchtime this week, by Royal mail.
Not wishing to detract from from our suppliers or their choice of couriers, but I do wonder if a good combination of time of day, which day of the week and their location combined with their customers location, leads to a quicker delivery.
In the above example, Tracytools would have found my order awaiting them as soon as they started work on Friday morning so could extract items from storage, pack ready for RM to collect same day. Probably on the truck from Devon overnight to Gatwick sorting office. Early Monday morning in Brighton sorting office then out for last leg of delivery to me in BN1 – central area.
