RM IT muppets

Post by POSTMAN »

Received an email yesterday as she who must be obeyed has ordered something over the internet,it has a 'track your order' link in it,like millions around the UK no doubt.
Link worked fine yesterday and i could see where my order was as it goes straight into the track & trace bit with the tracking number,today the link does not work and it just goes to the tracking page on the RM website.

'I' know how to find my tracking number,which i have done but many wont. :neutral:

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.

It's always going down that site,loads of complaints on consumer forums about it,must be the same muppets who installed the PDA software.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

I checked it last night and it worked ok.
Checked it this morning and it got redirected to that RM page they use when the site is fecked.
Checked it now and it's like i said it just goes to the track & trace home page.

It's just so wrong.

You mean PDAs have software does it work well? Or does it freeze, do the batteries last for an hour and then refuse to work, does some idiot enable the phone and then can't get out of it, do people actually spell their own name wrong and then complain it won't let them log on, do the straps continually break and you spend 10 minutes getting through to IT for a replacement because they refuse to let us fix our own.

Some of ours are two years old and continually fail, especially the batteries which again they won't send a replacement battery you need to send the whole unit and then wait a week for the replacement to arrive.

We have a firm that used to send out about 500 specials a day but they went to TNT Express instead because our tracking is so crap and made it so difficult for them to see if things had been delivered or not. Now all we get is about half a dozen items going to Northern Ireland, Jersey etc because TNT charge more for these.
