Royal mail

[to v or not to v]

is it just me or are they going to shit?
performance has gone noticeably down hill in my area the last couple of months with things like mail arriving a week or two late, no deliveries for several days then a mass drop.
its saddening seeing such an historic institution being destroyed.

Not noticed, don't get much post these days, all Amazon and Evri

Yes, we probably get 3, maybe 4 deliverys a week and on random days as well. Parcels via Royal mail have become a nightmare for guessing how long they take.

My service is pretty good but I live in a town with a Royal Mail depot.

I was about to say "the pressures of competition will drive down prices and/or improve services" but Royal Mail is something different - the clue's in the name - mail is delivered by divine mandate

I am currently fighting with a vendor, I paid extra for Royal Mail next day delivery and it took Royal Mail four days to actually deliver. Vendor tells me they ain't responsible for Royal Mail, which is fine: they ain't but they breached our contract nonetheless by not delivering it within the stated time and in turn Royal Mail potentially breached their contract with them.

All I want is the delivery cost refunded because I never got the service I contracted into paying for. They always do it the hard way

Private courier companies can fiddle the tax system have self-employed drivers and don't have the hassle of dealing with unions.

Nothing to do with RM but I ordered something from China which when it arrived turned out to be crap so sent it back on 21 10 22. Applied to PayPal and got a refund maybe a month later.

About 3 weeks ago it was re delivered to my door, the box looking like it had been used as the ball in a game of rugby. No idea where it has been in the intervening 11 months.

Last two bulky items from China: ordered Sept 11th, arrived Oct 2nd - went via Holland for some reason! 2nd one ordered on Oct 8th apparently being delivered today

The difference? Former is via courier, latter is via Roya Mail
