wymberley Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 What an absolute farce this is. I think it's high time we reintroduced the position of Postmaster General and found one with some balls. Either that or get rid of the Royal Mail in its entirity and found an alternative.

Gordon R Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 It would be a start if the Post Office / Royal Mail stop employing people without a clue as to their real identity. Very, very common in large sorting offices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbob Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I stay in central fife and its as if i stay in the highlands packages take extra time to get here and if you try tracking them it tells you there nearly there when it takes a another week to get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Track and trace. ? Amazing. Loaded onto carrier. Parcel delivered. I mean I like things to be simple but come on. DPM track and trace are light years ahead, you can follow them by the drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hushpower Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 I have never had any problems with royal mail till a month ago, I odered a something from Australia tracked it to my local sorting office then it said it had been collected and sighed for not by me it hadn't. Saw the manager who said yep hes had it fobbed me off with a number to ring finally got through this morning sorry you will have to call back the systems down ...Legalised theft it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Quite often my POSTMAN has signed for my gear and just shoved it through the letterbox? I also find the special delivery service slipping too. Many items arriving well after 1pm. Edited August 6, 2018 by Lord Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I post a lot of PW things and you can get discounted stamps from collectors etc which was great for posting, but had a fairly regular stream of items that would never get delivered. Now do online postage for everything and an item hasn't been lost yet. Not sure where on the chain they were missing but I wouldn't go back to just stamps for anything other than letters and cards.

Gordon R Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 The staff in London Sorting Offices used to examine any mail passing through and guess the contents. Birthday cards with money in - were easy. Cheques, giros, DWP order books - all stolen on a regular basis. Never send anything of value via London.
