Fears for Christmas trade as Royal Mail puts cap on collections

Post by TopperGas »

The full story is hidden behind pay wall but basically it seems that RM are going to limit retail customers to three times their normal deliveries at Christmas. It seems an odd move to basically try and stop them from using RM to deliver their packets and parcels at over Christmas?

If retail customers are forced to use an alternative delivery company over Christmas will they them move all their custom to the alternative supplies?

They'll probably just use DSA, then RM still has to deliver the same amount but gets less money for it.

They obviously realised how disastrous the new revisions will be and are trying to mitigate that somewhat, especially with parcel volumes already at ridiculous highs for this time of year.
