Your figures prove 'jack sh*t' and show some serious flaws or creative accountancy.
Have a go again without the obvious errors. :cuppa

Now now play nicely please!

I've always wondered what RM charge for the delivery of D2D but have been unable to find out. I regularly see people on my walk doing d2d for private companies..... saves me doing it :dance

Had none for the past 2 weeks and only 1 for next week. :whistle

And the cost of the staff in the D2D bundling centres.
The cost of the staff chasing the contracts?
The cost of the transport?
The compensation when we fail to meet the contract?

1st little error, you state £2505 for 3 d2d & times that by 4 for 4 d2d.
2nd little error, Vast majority of FT only get £8 approx in reality for d2d in BT2010
Your figures have no base in facts, so therefore prove nothing

The only part he got right gb was that it didn't take a rocket scientist to work it out and for that i am grateful otherwise Neil Armstrong would still be sitting on the launch pad as the scientists wound the rubber band.

Which just goes to prove that Royal mail make £10 million pounds for each item you don't deliver. Fact.

D2D pricing 2011 May.jpg
Sorry, I should have added that the prices are per 1000.

In truth i can handle 2-4 d2d's as long as the mail is not really heavy that week. Its when we get 5-6 that it becomes really hard work esp if you get a couple of bulky contracts like charity bags etc. Its a bloody draining feeling when you come back off a delivery on a fri only to see boxes of the stuff on your frame :cry

Would i cross a picket line. Totally not as i have not done so in 24 years and iam not about to start now.
