Welcome to The ODS!
The Owl Delivery Service is the service the Malfoys employ for all their ingoing and outgoing letters. All Owls get delivered to the Malfoys' Post Room. You can choose to send your own owl to deliver the letter or let the ODS send it for you. Perhaps your owl is already on a long flight to deliver a letter - what happens if you need another letter sent? That's where we can help.
The ODS enables you to choose your delivery time. This means you can send a message to be delivered when you know you are not going to be around.
This is particular handy when you are off on your tasks, on holiday or whatever is keeping you away from the Manor and you know your recipient will be around.
It may seem obvious, but Owl post is not instant, the further away your letter has to travel, the longer it takes.
The Services
We have two services:
The Express Service is the faster of the two. We will aim to get your letter delivered within 6-24hrs. Messages posted in the morning are more likely to get delivered by the evening.
Any messages labelled 'Urgent' will take priorty.
The Standard Service will get your message delivered in a 2 to 3 day period.
We can also send parcels, we will need your item to collect and send for you along with your letter. We insure all valuable letters and parcels.
How to send your letter:
Send an e-owl to us:
Sent your letter to this account, via private message
Please quote EXPRESS or STANDARD in the subject area.
Clearly state your chosen recipient at the top of your message and make sure your own name is included.
If you'd like to request your own delivery time, or if it's urgent, please make sure it is clearly labelled at the top your message.
Failure to do any of these things can result in your message being delayed.
If you want to reply to a letter, please follow the same process, but quote 'REPLY TO (insert name of original sender)'
The ODS is NOT for holding conversations. This holds all our owls up.
Terms and Conditions
We pride ourselves on our excellent service and try to ensure all deliveries reach the recipients in the time requested. However, bad weather conditions, random Ministry security checks and excessive mailing can result in some delay.
Please note that if you are sending a highly private letter, please use the Private Owls and not the ODS as all letters have to be opened for security reasons.
The ODS is a service employed by the Malfoys. Therefore you can only use the ODS if YOU live at the manor, or if the person you are sending a letter/parcel to is a resident of the manor.
Thank you for choosing the ODS.
