No problems, until very recently. ie last 7 days or so. Things seem to be taking an extra day or two to arrive. Presumably the "COVID Excuse" is applicable. ;)

Are you experiencing letters not arriving where you live?
They're all arriving as far as I know, but for a long while now I've had a problem with stuff being opened. It's usually important stuff like medical/legal. This is how my will arrived from the solicitor recently, so presumably every Tom Dick & Harry in town knows what's in it (NB. I've not torn any of that envelope, that's just how it came through the door):

I've had a few birthday cards arrive slit open and in a bag with a sticker apologising because it was "accidentally damaged". Yeah, right. My brother-in-law works at the local delivery centre and says some people try to get Christmas jobs just so they can nick stuff!

No problems where I am. Our mail never arrives before late afternoon and sometimes well into the evening but that is due to ferry problems usually.
Nothing has gone missing and often arrives before the projected date.
Even letters wrongly addressed {a software problem with the sender] arrive ok and letters to a business which shut down 15 years ago reach me. Local knowledge.

In other words first and second class don't mean a thing ^_^

Pre lockdown I was in the local Post Office sending a small parcel. The lady in front was being really obnoxious with the staff behind the counter, moaning about the coat of sending a small packet to someone in Scotland. I piped up and said something along the lines of “ if I give you three quid can you take my parcel and deliver it tomorrow?”
