Royal Mail - Fee to pay

Blulu

Custardy I would be so interested in your take on the privatisation thing. Do you have an idea how it will affect you guys, and also how it will affect the service?

who knows
staff will be cut
the service has declined and will continue to do so
in the short term you wont see much difference
long term the service will change dramatically

Horrible. Really hope that doesn't come your way :mad:

There was talk about striking a while back. Wonder what the union is doing.

Good afternoon my lovelies,

Just received a card in the post from Royal Mail stating that the sender didn't pay the full postage (9p) and that I have to pay a handling fee of £1 plus the 9p to collect the item.
Anyone else get a card like this today? will be tapping the sender on the wrist once I find out who they are! unless of course its a huge cheque x

Did you find out what it was in the end?
This happened to me last year, I paid the fee at the PO and then found it was a bl**dy Christmas card from my brother, he'd put a normal 1st class stamp on a too-large envelope! :mad::mad::mad:

personally I dont see the point in striking over this
its coming
There will be some financial carrot(on top of shares),an agreement to retain T&Cs for X time
then its dame over
so losing wages seems a waste of effort

Just a little update, I didn't take this any further as I didn't know who the dvd was from, however this morning the company have sent another dvd (different) as a way of apology, how nice is that! x

Lovely outcome. Thanks for updating. Did they pay the right postage for the second DVD?
