It's a sad state of affairs that an EX postie feels the need to STILL defend the company.

I cannot fathom why there is any loyalty there whatsoever considering RM would not even remember this guys name. Its pathetic.

Hes a sad baby:rotfl:

Im in the phone and mailing preference service. it does not prevent the junk getting through.(we live in a secured entry building so i know its nto random leafletters). also RM are paid to deliver junk which will always get delivered despite your opting out./ signing up to the preference services:mad:

PS re the Royal mail threads.. you always get custardy turning up to vogiourously defend posties/RM etc... should we be asking why he is an EX postie???

now you have worked that one out
how about you now opt out
I know I have mentioned it but you seem to be struggling so i will assist you once more

I have been called a disgruntled ex employee
having issues with management
I deal in facts,given you seem to have little grasp of those I will elave you to research

The solution is surely to complain to Play.com etc about what happened. If enough people kick off then they will switch to another delivery system - e.g. courier delivering to the door.

The opt out system is a farce barely worth bothering with because Royal Mail deliberately make it harder than it needs to, and as ineffective as possible. For instance they claim that anything addressed to the occupier has to be delivered - I can accept that if it says "The Occupier, my house, my street etc) but just printing "The occupier" on a piece of junk doesn't mean its addressed.

What we need is a mass internet campaign to get everyone to opt out so that this nonsense is stopped. Once "direct mail" stops being a viable source of income for RM it will have to address the nonsense of sending posties round to every house every day despite the fact that very little that is that urgent is delivered by mail these days (and for those special delivery etc exists). I would be quite happy if delivery frequency for ordinary mail was cut to every two or three days.

Surely common sense says they shouldnt have to opt out. They should not receive junk anyway, you should be opting in if you want it.

Does not affect me anyway as I rarely get junk mail. Address the main issue though please regarding the clever staff not being able to post an item through a letterbox.

But the courier companies pass most of the smaller packages to Royal Mail for delivery as part of the "downstream access" agreement.

No they won't as they couldn't afford to use a courier for every order.

As I have said earlier in this debate, it would be nice if the postie would make sure that the post and/or junk mail is pushed through the letter box and not left hanging outside for any passing housebreaker to notice and conclude that there is no one at home. As to the junk mail it goes straight into the recycling bin anyway.

I think that is the point that Johnnyboyrebel was making.
“Does not affect me anyway as I rarely get junk mail. Address the main issue though please regarding the clever staff not being able to post an item through a letterbox”.

An attempted break in was made on my home because of this problem, luckily I arrived home just as the culprits were trying to wiggle through a window they had forced open.
