Thousands of households will not receive deliveries until AFTER 6pm under new Royal Mail shake-up plans

I was referring to Greta Thunberg - the teenage climate spokesperson.

Yep, I vaguely recall. I expect all the SJW's have moved on to a new bellwether to raptly follow by now though.

In our office most finish between 3 and 4 with many finish later on heavy days. Some finish earlier but the majority don’t as most now are part timers coming in at 9 and not starting delivery until 11-1130, they just accept it and unfortunately it will come in everywhere later finish is inevitable. And let’s face it most people don’t care about letters it’s packets and tracked items. We will see massive changes in the next couple of years and I really don’t think the union will be able to stop it I’m afraid

Just remember everyone a fall in the dark and get your claim forms into the Union,they might have got away with it in the dark early mornings in the 70's but in the year 2022 under hand safety legislation they must do everything in their power to make your workplace safe and some of my delivery is hard to navigate in the daylight,just make sure you got your royal mail shoes on and your high viz £1000's are coming our way and time off too.

A note on, amazon prime. Some people like me have it for the main purpose of Prime Video, the next-day delivery etc is just a bonus. And I cancel it all the time and wait for a free offer or until the next season of The Boys is released.

I'll tell you something else about Prime - in case you haven't noticed. Some of the products on next delivery end up costing you more - even with the subscription. It's a bit of a scam imo.

Some things are sold by market place sellers, some of which pay Amazon to deal with the warehousing and dispatch of their items

[yellowbelly]

13.3million households in the UK currently subscribe to Amazon Prime next-day delivery.
In a recent large-scale survey of online shoppers, 62% said next-day delivery was an important factor in their decision to order.
55% of those surveyed said a delivery timeslot on the day was important.

A business can either modernise to keep up with the competition or it can become a relic of a bygone era.

Of course a majority of online shoppers are going to say 'next day' and 'delivery timeslots' are important - because
they're online shoppers and obviously biased.

A lot of people don't know that you can get Prime Video only for (currently) 5.99 a month.
I've found full prime 'Next day delivery' to NOT be 'Next day delivery' for many item now making it a bit of a waste of time.

There are options for annual or rolling monthly, they often do a deal for a week.

Prices go up on Friday I believe.
