Is a parcel being lost within Royal Mail and being delivered 18 months later a record? ....err no :)

Had one of life's *bleep*? moments today courtesy of Royal Mail so I thought I'd share it as a bit of light relief. This is actually something I bought rather than sold. The purchase was 23rd January 2024, and sent Tracked 24 - but seemed to get stuc...

Simple Delivery fallout.

Hi everyone, I have been a huge ebay fan and user since 2024. Due to simple delivery I have not sold a single item since 4th April 2025. I have listed a couple of items but no watchers or bids on them. It seems not only are people not listing stuff b...
