So doing some research and found that listings with 1st class post take the same time, according to eBay, as 2nd class.
Looking at some sellers who offer 2nd class post with a 2-3 day estimate, against 1st class post and you can see from the attached image, 3 different sellers, offering different postage but 1st class post, according to eBay, takes the same time as 2nd class postage.
Before anyone says that this is may be because of the cut off times for dispatch, look at the 3rd seller on the image which shows 2nd class post as standard, but delivery estimated between the 8th & 10th and the same listing option of 1st class post - is exactly the same estimate between the 8th & 10th.
So what is the point in having any estimates if they are as messed up as this?
Even next day guaranteed deliveries are all over the place - parcelforce 24 - monday, yet Royal Mail 24 is the same as 2nd class post, the 8th to the 10th.
Every single postage option, 1st class, 2nd class, 24 Tracked, 24 non tracked is all the same, with the exception of Parcelforce 24 which is guaranteed next day and even that is wrong.
What really is the point in any of these estimates?
