[#1571674]

Off to Scotland tomorrow morning, ordered a tyre from CRC Friday evening which is being delivered 48hr by Parcelforce. Now this may well be a daft question but who reckons it will come today?

Hang on I ordered it Thursday evening, not Friday (been a long weekend) so then in theory I am still in with a chance of receiving it today. Do parcelforce deliver all day long?

Irish airspace being shut may hamper things as well.

mrvear - do you have a tracking number from CRC? If so, check with there website, and if there's an entry on today's date saying 'out for delivery' then there's a good chance you'll get it today.

No my mate ordered it for me as I was skint until Saturday. In the pub on Saturday night he said he had received shipping confirmation from CRC so was hoping it would be here today. Went to my LBS for one before ordering but they only stock contys and maxis, really wanted a rear WTB velociraptor to go with my front one though plus they are only 12 squid on CRC

Never had anything to do with Parcelforce but from what I have heard should they be renamed Parcelfarce? Can't see what is so big and bulky about a folding tyre that it could not be sent through Royal Mail in the first place.
