Dad has baby magazine delivered 19 years after ordering it
Paul Edwards said the magazine arrived with an apology note after Royal Mail delivered it 19 years after he ordered it.
- On Friday, Paul Edwards received a Mother and Baby magazine ordered in 2007, marking a 19-year delay. The parcel arrived in a damaged bag with a Royal Mail apology letter for the inconvenience caused.
- Edwards subscribed when his daughter was 18 months old and his son was due to arrive. He and his partner had not realized the magazine was missing due to the length of time that had passed.
- A post by Edwards about the incident garnered some 1.5 million views and nearly 60,000 likes on social media. Users replied by sharing their own experiences of late deliveries with the postal service.
- Data suggests nearly a quarter of first-class mail failed to reach its destination on time, prompting postal regulator Ofcom to launch an inquiry into Royal Mail's service standards. The incident underscores broader operational challenges the organisation faces.
