For me, Royal Mail parcels works every time.
No idea why a business uses anything else.

It's hard to phone the banks these days because they understaff their phone lines in the hope that you will use online chat which they have also understaffed 😉

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.
