how long you recon it'll take for some company to say we will get mail to business's to you by 10am each morning ??? got a feeling this will happen sooner or later its bound to. and will then royal mail act and change the delivery times back to a reasonable time, if they don't i think they'll loose out in a big way, in our area it's been rumored delivery's will change from a 3pm finish to 4pm / 430pm due to the way the mail is processed, I for one will be out of pocket due to child care. council and our local hospital pluss a few other business's already pick there mail up from the callers office at 9am because it's not getting there till mid afternoon.

The service has been around for years with DX mail. However we are cheaper. :wink:

The public want there Mail early in the morning, not in the afternoon, anyone with half a brain knows that, except for the idiots who came up with the idea of doing away with 2 deliveries.
Also Royal Mail insist they asked members of the public if they had any problem of getting their mail later in the day, I don't know of anyone who was asked this question, do you?
They seem to forget we are members of the public too, but were we asked?

What difference would it make to a postman to get his mail at 8am?
I leave for work at 5.10am. Unless it arrived before that, I don't care if it comes at 10am or 2pm.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I reckon a lot of people aren't interested in their mail. I have to shoe-horn stuff into those stupid aluminium tins that are supposed to be letter boxes, because the mail has not been removed for days, and no, they are not on holiday. I have also seen stuff left on the mat. If they get their bills and other "important" stuff on-line, then why would they want the other crap we deliver (including direct mail from BT, Sky etc)
