End-to-end competition in the postal sector:TNT

Post by POSTMAN »

Ofcom has today published an update on its position on end-to-end competition in the postal sector. This follows TNT’s launch of a trial of end-to-end delivery of letters in West London earlier this year and plans for a broader roll out of the service should it consider the trial a success. Ofcom has gathered evidence to examine TNT’s plans in detail and assess their likely impact on the provision of the universal service. Ofcom’s update, following assessment of this evidence, can be found here...

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.

TNT Post is no threat to UK universal service for now, says Ofcom.

Royal Mail’s request to UK regulators to impose extra conditions on its rival TNT Post UK, as the company continues its trials of end-to-end mail delivery services, has been rejected...

"Access competition, by contrast, is where the operator collects mail from the customer, and transports it to
an Inward Mail Centre, but relies upon Royal Mail’s delivery network in order for it to
reach the recipient. To date, access competition has been the prevalent form of
postal competition in the UK for letters. The impact on Royal Mail’s revenues of endto-
end competition is greater than access, as it retains 85-90% of the total revenue
for the access item but is not involved in the value chain for items processed and
delivered end-to-end by another operator. " :shock:
I've seen that 85-90% figure before. Does that mean that if Royal Mail is paid 14p by the DSA company that DSA company charges businesses 15½p to 16½p per item and gets it to our Inward Mail Centres for about 1½p to 2½p ? :crazy:
