Post early, we wouldn't then be delivering Christmas cards in January
onelongrunner, absolutely spot on. Okay so the customer isn't always getting the service that they paid for (with the exception of SD and Tracked) but The Regulator isn't giving RM any hassle and we are stuck in a situation that is difficult for everyone. At the end of the day, it's a win win for RM, even if we are delivering Christmas cards and presents in January.....
Beat
From the companies point of view, they’ve been paid regardless.
Onelongrunner, forgve me but how is it a good thing if you have paid with a promise (do we still actually have a quality measure for 1st and 2nd class?) for a company (us) to handle and deliver your item in the time frame specified? How is it a good thing that hospital appointments are missed because the patient didn't get the letter, or any other time sensitive item? In royal mail, I'm afraid unless it's 24/48 tracked, delivered scanned or special delivery, we turn a blind eye to the rest and deliver whenever we may get around to it. People think they send things signed for 1st class and think it'll get there next 2 days. In reality, it probably won't. Where are the fines Mr regulator? Sadly we now provide a shockingly bad service.
Good thing is, if its got postage on, its been paid for whether its suck in the system or not.
When they said 'its heavy' did you ask are you clearing the office daily? Pkts are piling up at ours mail going undelivered for days, managers in tears, 10% of workforce off sick . WE DON'T NEED ANY MORE WORK . We can't deliver what we are getting! Image an airline where the pilots are all knackered, every plane is full to the brim , people that have booked are held at the airport for days until they find a plane with pilot to take them, and still the management are drumming up even more business and they think it's a good thing! Christmas will not get delivered this yr, order very early and cross your fingers or better still actually get off your behind and go to a shop yourself, would be my best advice. Take care.
Sorry Heaving
Well my postman Andy says its heavy , onwards and upwards please £6 in new year
yes lokiloo i am looking for a christmas rally ,lol
Indeed. I too hope no further lockdowns are necessary.
South Africa has seen Covid cases rise from 300 to 3500 per day within two weeks & the new variant accounts for 3/4 of that. I'm thinking new restrictions will not be far off myself. Christmas deliveries anyone?
Volumes are way down compared to last Christmas, don't expect major profits like last year.
