In the past i have never had any problems (barring the odd parcel left in our bin as safe place!!!) with Guernsey post although the last few weeks problems have started to emerge with post taking 3-4 dyas longer than usual. Probably just an isolated problem as from time to time some items will take longer i expect Hello Mr Smillie

It's not the local post office that's to blame in all but a very small minority of cases. There should never have been a break up of services as instigated by the CICRA as both islands are too small for competition in certain areas, e.g. postal and telecoms. Plus now in Jersey, no tax is paid to the States by these foreign owned companies which is by the local ones. I'not sure how Guernsey is affected in this respect.

I know that if stuff from for example Amazon takes a day or two longer than I would have hoped, it is prob because of some delay in despatch rather than at the GPO. Mr Smillie,

I served on the board of GT in the final days of the company before it was given away. It seved the island exceptionally well and people had a much better deal then than they now get from the present tel col. GT cared more about service and was committed to Guernsey. Jack
