Bloody useless, if its not posted south of london it takes forever to get here. Two small packets sent to me yesterday first class tracked, one turns up the other nowhere to be seen, makes the seller look bad, when its not their fault, rant over

OI!! 

I'll mention a couple of next day parcels of mine that ended up at Plymouth sorting office.

We all have to suffer the Royal Mailishness

You could live on my nans estate, post a few times a week via postmen in pairs, inter flora now refuse to deliver because their florist guys keep getting mugged as soon as they step out the van.

It's a pretty place with jail bars all over windows...

Trouble is for small packets and letters we don't have anyone else to use unless you want to pay shed loads more for a courier larger packets I always send by courier as its cheaper.

Met someone in the post office the other day sending large parcels cost him £17.00 per parcel, told him a courier would have been half that,

Waiting on something sent at weekend first class post and not here, I sent two parcels Friday and one was received today not sure on other one as I haven't heard anything yet,.

Royal Mail were better before they were privatised used to get post by 11 now lucky uf it arrives by 4 pm

Whitechapel, it's a dead end road with a little park one side to hide in and tower blocks/masonites for the exit to the other side, easy pickings for the little s*ts. Is it quite typical round there to have bars on your windows and doors, especially so on the ground floor.

Inter flora stopped delivering birthday flowers a few years ago for me because they couldn't find a florist to do it but I managed to find one, for now..

Plenty of places like that down here, delivery drivers need eyes In the back of their heads,

RM another classic example of business privatised and customer service goes out the window! Some may recall i bought a SX350 Mini M class a few weeks ago (going great so far) it took RM Special Delivery 3 days to deliver the item which to me was absolutely shocking! ok the vendor did miss the cut off time for sending on the day by 30 mins, but still no reason or explanation for the other two days.

I am afraid the more the public allow these prats in Government to fleece everyone through their little chummy wealth creating dealings, the more your going to suffer crap service, and colossal price rises!

Rant over.

Was very Involved in the anti privatisation campaign, my missus is branch secretary for the cwu down here, you just know as soon as its sold the shareholder is the important thing and the customer goes way down the pecking order.
