Post by POSTMAN »

Was in a letter (reply) in the propaganda times,how did that happen then?

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.

I belive RML have a min/max figure and can charge what they like so long as they stay within that range.


Its a little bit more comple that that but it gives you a basic idea.

Pure Sophistry

10% on 13.5p is still only 1.3p meaning total cost 14.8p still less than 50% of what it would cost Granny Smith to send a letter or birthday card. :mad

You may term that sophistry, but your argument doesn't follow either.

RM have always given large discounts to bulk posters, and as DSA involves maybe only 40% of the "handling" Granny's card requires, the costs are proportionately reduced too.

That we should charge competitors more to utilise the RM network, is a different argument...

No my point was that 10% sounds a lot but based on the starting costs IIRTC it is not.
