    I don't know but post at 8am is better than post after 3.

    lol. So answer me this.
    if someone works in an office and works 9-5
    is the work done at 4.30 of a lesser quality than that done at 9?
  • Depends on the office. If its a call centre then yes it will be.

    But as I said on my other reply. How does it feel being Royal Mails puppet?

    lol,why would it matter in a call centre?
    So whats your answer? only have 2 hour shifts?
  • Why would it matter? Its an office... Like calling a royal mail centre an office.

    My answer. Royal Mail get the delivery teams out earlier.

    right so how?
    The trucks have had their speed cut(EU reg)
    people want to be able to post at 5pm and items still be processed
    duties are now longer
    when a delivery is 4.5 hours+ long,you would need them on the street for 8am to even make it for 'lunchtime'
    machine sorting,whilst cheaper takes longer than manual

    I leave for work at 7.15, so I makes no odds to me what time my post arrives up until about 5pm, and I imagine mostof the uk are in the same position.

    I send around 50 items per day using Royal Mail and about 99% get there when they should and the customers are happy with the speed and service.

    Someone on this thread has a bee in their Bonnet about RM, which they're entitled to have, but the service is in no way as universally bad as is being presented, otherwise I'd be out of a job as the 1000 customers I have per month wouldn't stand for the service.

    It's a shame this poster has received poor service, but suggesting the network needs changing according to his requirements is not going to happen.
  • To my requirements? I'm sorry if my "Deliver the letter and get signature as requested" You know the service I paid for is a bit much for royal mail. Oh and deliver my parcels instead of posting a red card and expecting me to go to the sorting depot to collect it.

    Royal Mail in general is poor.

    I've made my case to the contrary based on what I see posting items day in, day out. Sorry if your experience is different.
  • Using couriers maybe more expensive but at least I know the item gets there

    So nothing ever goes missing or is delayed by couriers?
    you must share this 100% service
