well TNT can deliver to the whole of the country now
they choose not to because its far more profitable to get RM to deliver for them.
they dont want your mail
you realise meeting a regulator target(or exceeding) is for items delivered to customers?

I'm not sure how many times I can explain this in a different way. Maybe I could use a picture.

RM fail me, they fail my partner, frankly that means they fail full stop. I don't care if other people are happy with RM, they are most likely biased because it's got the word 'Royal' in it, some people probably think the queen does the deliveries.

Because RM have failed me, repeatedly, I do not support them. They are a huge, bureaucratic behemoth that needs deleting and reinstalling from scratch, if it needs TNT to do it - fair enough, otherwise come up with a better plan.

BTW, I'm all about running things that are services at a loss, operated by the govenment if needed, trains springs to mind, but if the RM haven't sorted themselves out on their own after all this time, they can go to hell

but then RM havent had their profits
the government took the profits and didnt allow RM to invest back in the business
this is why there has been no money to bring in walk sorting/sequencing machines,PDA's,packet sorting machines,A4/flat sorting machines etc etc
pretty much every modern postal service has had these for years

as for TNT.thats the TNT who have again delayed opening their own home market because they are not ready and recently had a massive goventment bailout payment?

If they make such awesome profits there's no reason not to privatise them under a 100% coverage mandate then is there? Then they would be free of all that nast interference. And maybe they wouldn't suck so badly.

i never said awsome profits.i said profit
the fact is they have had all the profits for many years creamed off at the detriment to the business
tell me,why do you feel privitisation will give an improvment?
the mail service will always be regualted
you realise the propositionj is for a 30% 'share' that mandelson thinks is the answer to RM's problems?
so if a public company makes profit & achives targets it is best privitised?

I give up - you win. As my picture of Jess the cat didn't stir enough childhood smiles - I'll leave you with this

Disappointing? But look at his FACE!

He's wearing exactly the same look my postie was wearing yesterday when I opened the front door whilst he was half way through posting a 'While You Were Out' card through the letterbox.
"Hello!" I said.
"Ah, you *are* in," he said, having not rung the doorbell.
It was a tense moment.

They *do* allow you to cancel the free trial, even after you've used the service. I, and lots of other people, have done just that.

What they do *not* allow is for you to use the service and then cancel *if you are not using a free trial*.

The original poster who said that they were not allowed to cancel did *not* say they were using the free trial - they said they "used Amazon Prime" for the delivery. I suspect that they did not use a free trial at all.
