Offices 'officially' in trouble?

[Richyc719]

Received a delivery today in WF6 which included important NHS letters posted 19 days ago. A delay of 19 days on a letter from a Yorkshire postcode to another Yorkshire postcode is simply unacceptable. RM is paid to deliver a service which is sadly lacking with deliveries from Whitwood DO.

Coming up to 10 weeks on the list now, absolutely disgraceful.

That can’t be right because ‘Royal Mail Spokesperson’ said that there were no issues and they weren’t prioritising anything and anything not delivered was delivered the very next day. THE VERY NEXT DAY! Not next fortnight.

Plus, a quick look on Robin and you’ll see managers bragging about how they’re clearing their offices ‘AGAIN’, so you’re all imagining delays.

You've a better chance of talking your neighbours far and wide out of ordering stuff online than getting

• Royal Mail
• Your elected representatives
• Ofcom
• The Government

to do anything about it.

This disaster did not spontaneously emerge.

Don’t forget if it gets really bad your local MP will say how disappointed they are to hear about the issues and will receive an allocated time and date when they can visit the depot to see if things are bad. And everything will magically be moved/hidden.

Might be a daft question but if you have trays of mail for the frame lying around but the frame is cleared, does that count as a cleared duty?

I think that's the lesser crime known as a 'workplan failure'.

The rep of the office should still be counting that as a fail though and then if that same mail is still sitting there the next day etc. and then they can use that info when their Lead Com is trying to claim there are no issues.

Having talked to my postie, it appears Londonderry is so bad they are trying to import staff from anywhere and put them up in hotels, must be a super-duper s**t-show. Nobody took up the offer in my old office.

Any item of mail or any packet can only ever fail once. Priority will be given (in theory at least) to newer mail and packets.

If they had paid near that to start with and made the jobs manageable, they wouldn't be in this mess. But hey, I'm only a postie, what do I know

Christ £22.50 and a day in lieu, i'd nearly come out of retirement for that....... nearly.
But is it the worst, is there somewhere lurking in the background even worse than this.

I offered to deliver the letters five days a week Monday to Saturday. It was met with silence, which is also code for 'prioritise the Tracked'.
