Had a message from Amazon to say delivery attempted yesterday, (Sunday) by Royal mail. It's only a strip of adhesive pads, easily would go through the letterbox.....I didn't think Royal Mail delivered on Sunday.
Is this another blatant lie?
jon laid this down on his screen :
Does it ask you to rearrange delivery, at an extra cost? Might be a phishing message.
They don't its bloody lucky these days if they bother on Saturday.

Yes, normally anything from amazon has links that will be obvious its really your order. Brian
Sometimes they do deliver on Sundays.
Quite possibly things on which they have undertaken a strict time limit - and would bust that if left until Monday.
But also it sometimes looks as if it is a catch up of Saturday deliveries when they might not have had sufficient staff - so probably someone doing overtime.
I had Sunday post before Christmas.
Or it could just be that someone is scanning off a load of parcels which didn't get scanned at some point.

we've certainly had mail delivered on a Sunday - more than once - during the lockdown.
No, Royal Mail have now got a Sunday delivery for "parcels". After many decades they suddenly realised they were losing business to their competitors.
only as a trial, and only for major customers.
I'd guess that Amazon is not considered to be an insignificant customer. BICBW
I saw one of our local mail men out on Sunday a few weeks ago; we exchanged greetings and I said I hoped he was getting double time for Sunday. He said it was much less then double time, and explained that they had set up a Sunday delivery round specifically for Covid-19 test kits. I think that was all they were delivering, but I'm not sure.

also it may have been in larger packaging, say an A4 cardboard "envelope"
Log in to your Amazon account directly by going to amazon.co.uk - do
*not* click any links in the message you got. Go to your order details page, any genuine delivery attempt should appear in the tracking section.
Its a blatant lie
Not only are they sending out bogus emails but they've managed to hack Google, BBC News, Sky News and numerous other sites
Its just as well you didn't type "Royal Mail Sunday deliveries" in Google otherwise you'd be led to wholly bogus stories from websites purporting to be the BBC
March 2021 Royal Mail is to trial Sunday parcel deliveries for major retailers amid an online shopping boom.
And numerous others. Or maybe Royal Mail who are just lying
.
Obviously every major newspaper and every major TV provider has had their sites hacked!
The bogus email messages doing the rounds are about RM requiring payment from customers to deliver packages
Well they must have been, mustn't they ?
Otherwise jon wouldn't need be asking whether the email saying they'd tried to deliver on a Sunday, was a blatant lie or not, would he ?
It was a valid question. Not everyone reads every trivia item in the news, nor would you search the Internet for an answer if for the past decades RM haven't had a Sunday delivery.
It's more normal with RM to actually cut services. There used to be multiple collections from post boxes in my area and now the last collection is 7am (yes am), a trip to the main sorting office (distribution centre) and it used to have a 10pm collection which is now
6pm.Although things are starting to get back to normal with RM deliveries during lockdown it was more normal to get a large batch of post and small parcels on a single day irrespective of time posted and little or nothing in between for 6 days. Things getting back to normal may depend on your postie. My regular postman seems to be during two shifts per day at the moment - one as his walking round and another in a van for larger packages.
It says delivery attempted 2nd May....which is a lie.
Added information on tracking page...Unfortunately, Royal Mail ran into an issue when attempting your delivery. They will try again.
Why didn't they just say no service on Sunday.
Because there may have been a service on a Sunday?
