Speedway Star Deliveries

[bellevueace]

I was just wondering if anyone else who subscribes has had delivery problems? I have always received my copy thursday mornings for years, since august its been arriving 6 days late, its not the publishers who despatch it as usual. Thought about postal strikes but for 4 months? Anyway after years of subscribing i wont be renewing its better now to just go to Sainsburys thursday morning as its always on the shelf or order it from the local newsagents. Royal Mail cant be relied upon.

Afraid I did the same, for the same reason!

A lot of most royal mail depots only deliver mail on certain days of the week and not at weekends, unless it's a parcel, so may explain a slight delay to the star delivery

TBH it's late most weeks, sometimes very late.  I asked the postwoman, was told they deliver 1st class letter post in my area every other day, alternate weeks i.e. "one week it's Monday, Wednesday & Friday, the next it's Tuesday, Thursday & maybe a Saturday".  Nice of them to bother🤔.  Used to be on time every Thursday, even during lockdown, delivery issues really started when they used clear plastic bags, been getting ever worse since....

Newsagents are the best source of supply

Normally arrives either on a Thursday or a Friday for me. On the odd occasion and it can go into the following week, mainly on a Monday but that is down to Royal Mail’s unpredictability.

I get all other mail without problems but instead of the regular postman we have different ones all the time and delivery times can be from 10am to 1600 seems to be all over the place

We are the same regarding irregular delivery times. For years are regular postie would deliver between 8.30am - 9am. Then when he relocated we have had several different ones who all now deliver between 11.30am to 2pm.
