Royal Mail - Christmas 2010 {sarcastic}

Mr_Oink

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Royal Mail and Postal Staff for their efforts over Christmas.

This year we only lost £90 worth of stuff in the mail, a vast improvement on 2009 where over £400 worth of purchases and presents went missing.

This year our losses were:
1: 4 (out of 8) cards with £10 notes in - 3 of which were sent 'signed for' £40
2: Necklace from H Samuel online £25
3:Sylvanian Families figures (Amazon) £14
4: and, ironically, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" (Amazon) on blu ray (£11.00)

May I also congratulate God for disrupting Postal Rounds with snow - forcing part of the opportunistic and dishonest Royal Mail staff component to chuck sickies. This stroke of genius limited their access to steal the goods in transit bought by hard working people up and down the land.

Finally, it warms the heart that such efforts were made by postal workers to keep up the delivery of door-to-door Domino Pizza and double glazing type leaflets in such adverse weather. It would have been nice if they had made as much effort with the paying public's mail, but I guess that does not pay a bonus.

Happy New Year Royal Mail Staff. May the hands of those that thieve from the mail become painfully severed in 2011.

Cash is not covered for loss unless sent Special delivery. This is clearly stated in Royal mails T&C's.

2: Necklace from H Samuel online £25
3:Sylvanian Families figures (Amazon) £14
4: and, ironically, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" (Amazon) on blu ray (£11.00)
As none of the companies shown above can show that the goods were delivered, you will be able to get a full refund from them.
Therefore they are not your losses.

So in effect the only losses you will have incurred were from people sending cash by an inappropriate service.

Ah, that makes their thieving OK them. Stupid me. Personally I feel.......

CUT OF THE HANDS OF THESE SCUMBAGS....

but I don't think that aligns with your take on it.....

Posting in giant red letters won't help though. Using the correct postal service will though.

Sure, posting money in cards is stupid given so many postal staff are genetically programmed to steal.

But in the other cases you neglect the fact that the correct postal service was used by two different companies. Perhaps cutting off of hands WOULD help It would sure stop them doing it again.....

I must remember in future that I have to pay extra to post items of minimal value (despite them being under the maximum value where you need to do so) because a notable percentage of Royal Mail workers are thieves.

Thanks for clearing that up.....

Don't you just love the people who think it's your fault when someone steals from you.

Don't you just love the people who justify theft and can't read properly? They are probably worse than thieves themselves because without the receivers, their would, apparently, be no thieves......

I can't see where anyone has stated it is the OPs fault that the money was stolen, but that doesn't detract from the fact that the people who posted the cards containing cash chose to use the wrong service.

I know. It's almost as bad as the people who can't write properly.
