Mine was about 4 weeks after the "security checks passed" came up. (In June this year) If i remmber correctly, they text you a number to ring up that will tell you where your induction is, and start date is the day after. But it seems to be different everywhere...

The thing is I will probably have to give two weeks notice at work.do I wait or hand in my resignation sooner rather than later?

DON'T hand your notice in!
Is there a way to contact them and tell them the problem.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

No there is no contact number attached to emails and when they rang me the number was blocked.so I guess I will have to wait .when I received my phone call from royal mail they did ask me how much notice did I need to give and I told him 2weeks.

I checked the website every day after I had the phone call about security checks and someone phoned me the day after the site changed to say I'd passed the checks, to offer the job officially and give me a start date etc, so I imagine you'll find out soon. Guess everywhere will be different but I was offered the job on 20oct and my induction is this Monday (14nov) so I've had a while to wait. Still don't have a contract yet even though it should have been sent by now right enough.

My start date was about 3 weeks after official job offer. It all depends on where the training day is taking place and how many numbers they have
