Been ill for the past few days so feeling a bit groggy.

Paid for item on Sun 20th Dec, description said post 1st class within 2 days.

I was expecting item to be posted on the Tues/Wed before xmas and possibly delivered xmas eve.

Turned up today and showed a postal date of yesterday (29th).

Does this warrant ffedback other than positive or would this be a tad harsh?

I know everyone is busy over xmas but description did say postage within 2 days.

Cheers.

First stage is to contact the seller.

Theres also a good chance you would have received it the same time even if it was posted before Christmas

As the last post was 21st and it said within 2 days, you would being foolish giving a negative feed back, just as you were leaving it to the last minute to buy.

Last post collections were the 23rd I believe- but not obvioussly guarnteed unless Special Delivery.

email the seller and ask for postage costs back – if I was selling I'd probably have offered anyway.

Then you believe wrong
As for asking for postage cost back why ?
If posted in 2 days thats the 22nd,passed the last post date Christmas day boxing day sunday [no collection] collection 28th delivered 29th.
Pretty good
OP should be more organised and order earlier, obviously nothing important.

I'd assumed it was posted in a post office (rather than with stamps in a box), in which case it would show the date it was taken into the PO rather than the date it was processed, right?

More to worry about in life. Carry on

Dales_rider, I was almost corect- last collections were the 24th.

See here

Maybe if you just email the seller for future sales keep postal promises and say you're not giving them -ve feedback but others might.

You may feel a bit positive too.

Or have you been drinking too much xmas drinkies?

The small tramp speaks the truth.

For Christ's sake – you got your little bargain now – only a few days late

I really think you need to take stock, get some perspective

Thanks for the comments (and abuse :-))

Yes, 29th was date taken to post office (as shown on postage sticker on packaging).

I'll leave Pos and carry on feeling sorry for myself with this darn cold/sore throat!

Cheers all

Mark the feedback as positive but comment on the postage delay in the notes section. That would be the fairest way IMO.
