Ordered up some bike bits and they are being posted out First Class by Royal Mail...when I wur a lad, first class meant the next day...as I grew up and the world of electronics grew, I stopped sending letters/parcels/things in the post so was mightily unimpressed when I last went to post something to be told first class no longer meant next day - it meant they would try their best but more likely 2 days - I did ask the member of staff to clarify that and they said that there was no longer a guarantee that first class was next day so it was as soon as possible. Apparently second class is still within 3 days but first class is no longer next day.
Anyway, I'm waffling...I bought something on Saturday online, I got an email saying it had been dispatched to me at 13:15 today first class - how likely is it they will be with me tomorrow?

Your package will definitely arrive tomorrow, but 10% or what you ordered won't be in it.
