Anyone else having problems with Royal Mail????

susi

I dont know if this is the right section to post this so feel free to move me if Im wrong lol!!!!
I am really dissillusioned with Royal Mail lately
I posted a package to someone over three weeks ago 1st class recorded, it hasnt arrived and when I track it all it says is
We have your item... Item no ........ has been accepted at........ (Post office address) on 13.02.2009, then nothing!!!!!
My daughter posted a parcel over a week ago again 1st class and nothing has arrived.
I am waiting for a parcel again posted almost a week ago 1st class recorded and the tracking is the same as the one I sent (obviosly a different post office)
What on earth is happening here?????

Have you tried phoning them and asking for it to be looked into?

Hello susi

I'll move your thread to the 'Praise, Vent & Warnings' board.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

Don't get me started on Royal Mail- complete ar53holes....

We posted a parcel which never arrived, sent a complaint form in just before Christmas and received 6 first class stamps, we had since found the proof of postage, sent that off to them in January and not heard anything since. We have lost a psp game which had sold for £8.50.
Complete waste of spaces.......

Never send anything by Royal Mail unless you don't care if it arrives or not.
I send stuff by tortoise now, it never gets there either, but I don't expect it too and he looks really cute with his little sack.

Our service is crap at at the moment too. They never keep the same person on the round for more than a few weeks. We've got a trainee now and she's useless - after she's been we all have to go round to neighbours' houses putting her mistakes right.

Apparently a while ago a lot of posties left and became PCSOs cos they like walking about on their own but want more hours.

well RM are pushing part time hours
theres a few rural offices just now where all the full time duties are being reduced to 35 hours
RM only employ part timers now. contracts can be for as low as 1 hour/week

they kept coming back with the letters still on and I had to go and deliver them myself--it was just as bad as the postman!!!!
tortoise is MUCH better, and they don't move too fast so I can keep up.

A parcel was sent to me a week ago and it's not shown up. Several parcels sent the same time or afterwards have shown up and the first one is really important - and of course most expensive! Not a happy bunny
