The only company currently on the LAT is Bloom and Wild. However plenty of other companies are in discussions. Remember the actual launch is October , it was introduced in July with one customer to iron out any problems in the pipeline or resourcing .

Thanks for clearing that up, i guess some people are getting confused because they are delivering 'normal' packets to bulk out the LAT duty at present

So this would be in line with the supposed decrease in jail year on year that the company bleat about no?
Now he's clarified it dingo means on the comparable time period to last year since GPDR came in this year - so basically 11% drop in
mail for the period from 25 May to now. Whether that translates into an ANNUAL decline of 11% can't be judged until the end of Royal Mail's
reporting year.
Personally I've seen mail from catalogue companies and the like start to come through addressed to 'The Occupier' rather than named person.

They are marked up on the york normally but with a gold star on the label when they come to our mail centre.
If it's only the york header card that is marked then the was returned back to the MC have probably got a good chance of ending up with the normal Tracked when they get returned back to the MC
I've been doing a full delivery in the afternoon if there aren't many LAT products. It's been exhausting in the late afternoon heat and everyone has their doors open so you don't know if they have a dog loose or not.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

No, I have delivered many Ted Baker items. Indeed, go to Ted Baker website and order a parcel (cancel before you have to buy!) and you will see exactly how it works.

@dingo, have you bothered reading through this thread? You'll see that Bloom and Wild isn't the only one using it
space - there is only one customer , look at the volumes . If there was more than one customer that Royal Mail would have communicated this to the media.
Look at Romford covering E1-18 , Romford and Ilford and they have 3 items ?
Lots of companies are interested and wait for the fanfare in October.

But the extras may not have been LAT - but padding for the duty from the DOM.
