What's wrong with the post?


It is taking weeks for first class parcels to arrive, then when they do they arrive in the middle of the day when no one will be in!

Are there postal strikes going on or is Royal mail just officially apawling at the moment?

I origionally had the problem in Cheshire at home but am having the same problem at Uni in Reading

The company I work for outsourced its postal service - they collect the letters, sort them and deliver them to Royal Mail for delivery.

I can guarantee that anything I send takes at least a week to get where its going - the company did this to save 1p per letter.

Why - because they collect it and take it miles away to sort it, then they ship it back here for delivery, but usually they have missorted it so the RM send it back - they send a truck from miles away - collect it, re-sort it and then drive miles back to redeliver it to RM......

OMG thank god someone else has noticed!

Yep the post is really crap at the moment, and as far as I know there are no strikes at the moment - I am subscribed to Royal Mail who will e-mail me if there are strikes planned.

Either way its naff, and it gives a whole new dimension to 'the cheques in the post'!!!!!!

I know we get the same problem here. Infact on a more serious note many people i know including myself had had far too many parcels going astray over past year!

The British postal services stink

not aware of any strikes - where are you? Liverpool? Outer Hebrides?

I know it is terrible !

My post came at 1:30 this afternoon !

You`re lucky we don`t get our post until 3 p.m.
