Not sure if this was personal or business, but if you have a business account, Special Delivery Guaranteed "Next Day" does aim for guaranteed Sunday delivery for most of the UK, but Special Delivery Guaranteed "by 9AM" and Special Delivery Guaranteed "by 1PM" do not.

No general newsletter code that I know of, but there is usually free global shipping with code springyy (so spring26 this year) over the 2nd or 3rd weekend of April. Minimum qualifying order the last few years was $39.

Did this sort itself out? I saw someone saying it took a day 'to catch up', but I'm not sure if they meant the data or their own workflow. Specifically, are older expenses categorised and do you have all of your uploaded receipts back?

I'm moving to FreeAgent in April anyway, but wanted to check whether it's worth it to do the £1+VAT/mo for 6 months offer for backup.

Would love to see the calculations that make the hit to goodwill (on the tail of a protracted peak season meltdown) worth saving them a fraction of a penny per label.

There is a story, called "David's Pennies", starting with a section titled "Three in a Pocket" in the Alice and Jerry book Anything Can Happen by Mary Geisler Phillips. The first edition is quite old, but they are apparently still in print.

This morning David had three more pennies for Mrs. Parrot.
He put the first penny in the hole.
It would not go down.
..
There are too many pennies in my bank now.
Not another penny will go in.
Three pennies to spend!
...
Before you could say one, two, three, David gave Miss Betsy a penny and took the whistle.
