    you shouldn’t be working for a delivery company if you can’t be arsed to deliver stuff smh

  2. That’s seriously concerning, I have to use Royal Mail to send letters people have paid for, if they don’t get there I loose money. I would happy use someone else but they have a monopoly on post boxes.

    Royal Mail for me have been very unreliable recently. Lots of letter now arrive in batch.

  4. I used to work for royal mail about 25 years ago. Stuff like this happened a lot more than one would think. One postie was caught with about 4 months worth of undelivered mail in his house, he didn’t do the round he just went straight home. Not sure what his long term plan was.

    At this point, I’m just going to start sending my letters in a box — as a small parcel via DPD.

  6. Most of my mail goes straight into the recycling without being opened. It’s from charities to which I gave what I could when I could and although I always say I don’t want snail mail, they insist on sending it. There are some that I’m quite sure spend more than I gave on mail I don’t want.

  7. Whats to investigate, they sold it off, the old career posties were phased out and now it’s the cheapest labour running as the absaloute lowest cost.

    It’s just Every but in red.
