The thread isnt about Shell though is it, its about Royal Mail.

I have to say that the PO ain't that great.

However, I'll forgive them in light of the "Shell company" (ie. a company which is a member of the Shell group), versus a "shell company" (a company which has no substance) misunderstanding.

I suspect 'shell company' doesn't mean what you think it means, OP.

anyhow, vote with your wallet - by all means pay a different supplier for a different service. Most couriers are significantly dearer, and don't have the same service obligations. And the Post Office and Royal Mail are not the same thing, just for reference

we use the post office because it more cost and time effective than taking a letter halfway across the country ourselves. we would need to take a day off work, be treated badly by shell staff and forced to eat a halal sandwich against our will (and legal rights) only to drive halfway across the country to deliver a letter to someone who would not be in, and then drive back home.

But you could always see if a Premier Inn will put you up and try again to deliver tomorrow........

Can I use my shell fuel save card to buy one stamps

Do you think the local subway close to the delivery location will give a free sample of meatballs?

I think I'd agree with that, paddyrg.
But 'shell company' certainly doesn't mean what Emz11 thinks it means either. :rotfl:

I notice she is continuing to refer to her 62 year old mother as 'elderly'.
