We like things delivered. Why would we want to schlepp all the way with a parcel to a post office?
Take the effort out of sending parcels With Parcel Collect, we'll pick up your parcels from your home, safeplace or work.
We'll even bring your labels too.
You don't have have leave your own house to have the likes of dpd etc pick up from home....The RM are on strike more than they work and are a total waste of space plus being more expensive option. It's what you get from unionised labour. The bigger the union the more it is the case. I mean it was the unions combined with shit management who between then destroyed the British car industry. |

Our post is stuffed up I know we are not getting all of it, it is frustrating.
I think they have increased round size and not upped wages so they are working longer and want a rise.

You probably have a duff postie. I had times like that but I contacted them about it and eventually the problem disappeared for good. |

That is why the Royal Mail CEO was hauled before parliament. They are prioritising the delivery of parcels over letters. It is so bad now that if your postman goes on holiday you literally get no letters till he is back. |

You should live down here the ordinary postman does dot take parcels and we get a parcel delivery if we are lucky every two days. And the useless RM uses Amazon to drop of their parcels over the weekend. |

Always a massive queue at local office. Some post gets through like financial statements i guess coming from Surrey yet post from London not so good, sporadic. Another resonantly close area they go asnd collect their own mail. Now with arbitration looks grim. |

Another resonantly close area they go asnd collect their own mail. Now with arbitration looks grim. I think the market could segment vertically. You have various specific areas of expertise in delivering stuff, like the inter-city freight is one area and then there is the last mile which is considered one of the costliest parts of it. This is where one firm could go house to house in one area and deliver the lot, and possibly even read your meters as well. The trick is to free up the market so more firms can bid for parts of the service. |

They do not deliver sundays and use Amazon on the weekend to deliver parcels..... They used Amazon to break the strikes, but it is quite the opposite normally. Royal Mail delivers a huge amount of Amazon parcels... basically the stuff that will fit through the letterbox. Depending where you live there can be deals on who does the final mile, but that is normally Royal Mail doing it as they have the largest network. Royal Mail delivers on Saturday and specials on Sunday. BTW I drive a truck for for Royal Mail. |

Like anything that infested with bone idle union members the service will be appalling, Royal Mail, NHS, Teaching, all failing miserably.........Privatisation of state owned companies has been a disaster. Well apart from from the investors. Proof that Royal Mail no longer delivers a first-class service: From the price of a stamp rising to £1.10 from today to letters taking six days to arrive to no post at all Only six out of 28 letters arrived on time at one address in Glasgow, Scotland One posted from London to Kent took 2x as long to arrive as one sent to Scotland Today, the price of a first-class stamp rises to £1.10 — a 15p increase, up from 95p, that represents a 64 per cent hike in just five years. But although the thought of shelling out the extra on stamps might have you dragging your feet, now more than ever you should hurry to the postbox.  Under rules known as the universal service obligation (USO), Royal Mail has to offer its customers a six-day-a-week, 'one-price-goes-anywhere' service. In practice, that requires it to deliver letters to any address in the UK, Monday to Saturday, at a uniform price. It is obliged to hit certain delivery targets — a minimum of 93 per cent of first-class letters should reach their destination the next working day after they have been posted. That is the theory. But the reality is very different. Of almost 150 letters posted from five locations across Britain over the course of a week by a team of Mail reporters this month (on a week when there were no strikes), almost a third were delivered 'late'. At one address in Glasgow, only six out of 28 letters arrived on time. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11930969/Proof-Royal-Mail-no-longer-delivers-class-service.html |

Top work from the Mail... next week they will be reporting that "man has landed on the moon" lol. |
