Justin Smith   10 #37 Posted February 10, 2007 I told you they`d push it as far as they could and try to reduce the service as much as possible...... I attempted to post a fairly urgent letter last night in 3 (three, three, three !) different boxes* which had 7.15PM collections - until just recently - and ALL of them have now been "retimed" forward to 6.30. Needless to say the letters intended recipient will now have to wait until Monday at the earliest to get the letter through his door.... I bloody hate the Royal Mail so much.

Rich   12 #39 Posted February 10, 2007 I recieved a package from Amazon last Monday, well actually I didn't, because the package was too big to fit through my letterbox, I had to trek all the way down the Pond St to fetch it!  I wouldn't mind but I have a busy week, I don't have time to faff about making unscheduled trips to Pond St post office!  PMSL! Faff about! I love that word! Mum uses it loads! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Justin Smith   10 #44 Posted March 29, 2007 Why didn't you go to the mail centre on Brightside Lane ? Or better still why didn't you post the letter earlier if it was so important?  Brightside lane is nowhere near where I was going. You could take this to the Nth degree and say why don`t I take it all the way myself..... I couldn`t post it earlier because I was in the shop till 5.30 and the SOBs now collect the mail from my local post boxes at that time. I could have made a special trip in the car (through rush hour traffic.....) but that`s hardly an efficient use of my time and it`s definately not environmentally friendly either. Quite apart from anything else, why the f**k should I have to due to the RM cutting their service ? I bloody hate the RM and the only thing that makes me feel better is the fact that about 30 to 40 people a week (that`s 1500 to 2000 per year) read this page ( http://aerialsandtv.com/whyilovetheroyalmailnot.html ) on my website !

Ned Ludd   10 #46 Posted March 29, 2007 Why didn't you go to the mail centre on Brightside Lane ? Or better still why didn't you post the letter earlier if it was so important? Why? The postbox at Broomhill used to have a last collection at 7.30pm 'til last summer then they sneakily altered the time to 5.30pm. Who wants to travel to Brightside Lane insead of dropping the letters in a box which is on the way home? We don't even have the option of a late collection in the city centre any longer. Why should we put up with this shoddy service? We are paying more for less. It's worse than in Victorian times. 24 hour city......you must be joking:rant:  It seems to me we live in an age where workers have to be very flexible to every demands of companies but on the other, companies do what they bloody want, putting up prices, cutting jobs and cutting services to maximise their profits and ignoring cutomers I wonder what whack Adam Crozier's awarded himself for these "efficiencies"?

Justin Smith   10 #47 Posted March 30, 2007 Were you bullied by a postman as a child or something? 1 I don`t actually blame the "posties" as the website page makes clear.  2 The reason I hate the RM so much is that (for the reasons given at the begining of this thread) they have increased the preasure and stress on me to a significant extent. We may only send out 4 or 5 packages a day but they are usually "time sensitive" and I hate letting down our customers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
