When Fedex or UPS informs me by email that a package has been delivered to 
the nearest Parcel Force depot, I can phone the depot quoting the tracking 
reference number and pay any charges by card also get the approximate time 
of delivery to me next day. Parcel Force nevertheless sends me their 
computer generated 2nd class letter ( on one occasion two!) which arrives 
here long after the package has been delivered here.

The last three items which I ordered from the States took on average 3 days 
from time of shipment to clear HMG Customs in England, and over a week to 
get from England to Scotland!
