Yup, you guessed it, here we go again.
Well I need to get something to Eton College promptly next week and I am going to try Economy Delivery 24 – 72 Hours – £6.49 (£7.49 with VAT) from parcel2go.com for it. The customer paid £5 postage and I will gladly take the hit of £2.50 to get the item in on time. Who knows what would happen even if I sent it Special Delivery.
Will book on a collection Sunday and tell you all how it goes.

Edited to add: My experience with Parcel2go was flawless, and now the postal strikes have been announced:
