• Went to the sorting office, they have hugely cut down on their opening hours in response to the pandemic, so they were shut.

    I’ll go again tomorrow, where I predict there will be a massive queue as people who were normally served in six hours now have half that, so all cluster up together to fit in the narrow alley- just like the post office, with 20-30 people winding around a small waiting area.

  • All of which sound like good reasons not to go.

    Apart from which, without a "delivery attempted" card there's nothing they will do: even in normal circumstances they wouldn't search the place, on the off-chance it's there.

    Right now, only Special Delivery will be cuttingting through the backlog.
