It's not a matter of hard questions to answer. There's been major disruptions to the delivery networks and some deliveries have gone astray. There isn't sufficient evidence in this thread to suggest that it's nationwide or even widespread. For sure, Scotland has taken a drubbing and mail has had to be sorted south of the border. Folk tend to broadcast failures and fail to mention successes.
Lateness is one think, total loss of goods is another. I suspect that there's few total losses when compared against late deliveries.
I don't disagree with what you say. It's 'one of those things' in as much as bad weather can affect anything. However, if I was a retailer, I'd certainly want to know whether anything could have been done better to deal with the delivery situation. Not to look into it is to miss the opportunity to improve the approach used next time.
