yeah at 1st the letters seemed to dip a lot,,,,even guess at up to a 3rd,,,,,,,nothing elsed changed because tnt a.k.a whistl only deliver letters in our area plus the graze food boxes....seen plenty of them on doorsteps since LOL

lately letters seem to be heavy again so at the moment I don't really see a dip anymore.

d2ds....we go up and down the streets following tnt postpeople and they only go to on average 1/2 the houses so I don't see them doing d2d....they only have a little bag on there shoulders soooo cant see them delivering much.

1 thing I do notice is any hard to deliver points,,,,or long driveways...or flats with buzzers we have to deliver there mail for them,,,it comes through with stickers covering there postmarks.....and lately theres a large amount,,,,seems there lazy or cant be bothered.

And presumably "any hard to deliver points,,,,or long driveways...or flats with buzzers" includes those not in proper built-up areas, semi-rural, nearby villages, etc.
