Last time we didn't deliver letters only parcels it was a shambles...just big parcels would be easy to deal with its the small packages that could normally be tied up within bundles of letters that will and was the problem..where will they draw the line as to what is a parcel? Wont be much of a time saver if all non letters/flats have to be delivered
"Royal Mail is to trial Sunday parcel deliveries for major retailers amid an online shopping boom."
It's a trial for retailers but i would expect this to be rolled out to Joe Public in the future although I would expect domestic Sunday parcel delivery to be a premium price as the cost to deliver will be more.

Sunday deliveries of parcels.
one less walking postman needed if there is no Saturday letter deliveries
The bigest saving will be a 5 day letter delivery with Saturday`s to clear all the packets up.
and the 1 in 6 posties taking up all the overtime and new products.
Sunday packet delivery will be the norm,With new entrants to be contracted five days over a seven day period.
Thats progress

Big efficiency savings are available on letters delivery if they can use the kit to defer delivery of second class items and DSA items so that they are only delivered every other day.
"Maybe they will use a better machine that will sort more of the letters".
They will use the original machines to save money.
Maybe they will use a better machine that will sort more of the letters...postman still have to sort a lot of letters by hand as we have always done...
Oli , can you think of the reasoning behind this ? Letter traffic still seems low to me , flats have increased massively though. Anything to do with the new DSA+5 product maybe ?
What happened to the SP this afternoon? Profit taking or something else? I read something yesterday about ordering hone testing COVID tests if I had kids at school. Only ordered them as I knew it was delivered by RM. 24 hour tracked. Think it was 185 grams or something like that. Is this being advertised? What would RM charge for that? Seems to be stuck around these levels for a while ( I’m being greedy I know). What’s going to move it?
So, hands up all of you that though letters were an irrelevant sideshow now, after all, nobody receives letters any more? Well it seems that we were all wrong as RM plan to bring most of it's mothballed fleet of sequencing machines back to launch a new initiative starting in July.
Will it make economic sense though?
