The competion can't compete because ther is no competition fit to lick the well worn boots of our posties. If you think you can give a better service than Her Magisty's Royal Mail, then go on punk, with your 39p, make my day.

Priceless isn't it!

Hermes couriers? That'd be the ones that stuck a card through my frontdoor telling me they'd thrown my parcel over the gate! Going to win lots of business doing that aren't you?

As for Amazon going to HDLN! Wow great move that Amazon you really couldn't give a monkeys about your customers could you because if you did you wouldn't use these cowboys! I wonder how many complaints Amazon will get over missing/non delivered/miss delivered/missing parcels now that HDNL are supposedly delivering for them?
The competition makes you quake in your cornflakes! 1st class Royal Mail letter 39p. Put it on a train from Newquay to the Scottish Highlands - a snip at £1002 or by courier for just £10 - £20. Primary school maths here.

Talking to a guy from DPD today, he was telling me that the Amazon contract that RM lost to HDNL has now been carved up between HDNL and DPD, basically because they can't cope on their own. expect your Amazon packets to be left on the doorstep, or with someone 24 doors away from you, half a mile down the street!
