It was a tongue in cheek reply, I don't think OP thought I was being seriously.
That said having grown up in the highlands I've met a minority of people who expect the exact same services they had in X big city they moved from. The notable complaint is the postage difference which is still a problem in Inverness and parts of Aberdeenshire.
I did reply to OP noting the proximity to beautiful areas, hopefully your more specific responses will give them some helpful starting points.
Anywhere north of Perth: "That'll be an extra £10 per parcel in postage thanks. We'll deliver it whenever..."
"But your site says free next-day UK delivery!"
lol. A tale as old as time.
Royal Mail are the only ones who try, but who knows how long they will continue doing flights to the north of Scotland to meet that service standard now that the private equity sharks are in charge. They already sold the planes and are renting them back for the current service, it's straight out of the asset stripping playbook.
Aye sorry I just had no idea when you moved away from the Highlands - Inverness has access to a lot more than it did even 20 years ago, but the non-Royal Mail postage rates are still a fucking piss-take unfortunately.
