does the royal mail, like the usps, get a lot of mail during this time around that can also cause delays on mails? i order stuff from a uk seller on ebay and still havent got them

I ordered something on Dec 1st and I still haven't gotten it. The guy is in Utah, I'm in NY. Shouldn't take 20 mother-effing days to get here. He's getting negative feedback if it doesn't come before Christmas.

Absolutely. You'll find that's the case in most countries, I'm not 100% on what it's like there now since I left in 2005 but my dad was a postie there and he was pretty much going into overtime everyday for weeks coming up to christmas. So yes, they do get very busy.
