We can't be losing money anymore as we keep giving away free collections to customers

Lost a £Million on 20.000 misdelivered parcels. Expensive that for the crap we deliver.

How are they free? They are still paying postage and we get all of it, in comparison to if they take it to the post office where they take their own cut. Why posties continue to complain about services that pay their wages is beyond me.

Three out of four parcel collects I had today weren’t available when I got to the door. One took ages trying to find the parcel then rang her son twice who didn’t answer. One was a business who didn’t know where it was. One didn’t have a clue what I was on about. Total waste of time.

I have also never had a busier Monday for small packets. And we are supposed to be working less time next summer.

Because the collection part is the service they were paying for

Firms now cancelling evening collections so they don't have for and getting delivery staff to collect for free and it's only going to get worse heard on grapevine next collection revision all boxes back onto delivery staff and no more afternoon S/A

Surely they must be making millions a day now because they are receiving money off companies and not actually delivering it when they are suppose too,i wonder if they know Royal Mail are ripping them off nicking their money,plus the 1000's of staff gone and not replaced.

And so is knocking on someone’s door to deliver a parcel. The price they are paying for postage alone is worth it for RM. Especially when you consider how much cheaper it is to send items with our competitors.

The company made massive profits during the pandemic mainly due to:

Covid kits
Increased parcel traffic
Not delivering the mail everyday, particularly on Saturdays


Fast forward to 2023 and whilst we aren't delivering as many test kits, judging by the number of Yorks arriving through the doors, parcel traffic has not dropped off in our office. In fact, we are delivering even more parcels than ever per postie because they got rid of duties and have added 200-300 calls per frame. There are less staff and bigger duties and we are still not delivering the mail everyday even though they have ramped up postage prices. There are less vans as many have been de-commissioned. In addition to this there aren't as many staff going off sick with Covid as there were during the pandemic.

After the bonus payments have been made and when the seasonal variations and new sick policy kicks in I would be very surprised if we are not actually making over a million pounds a day.

Same old crap, we are losing a million £ compared to during covid figures, if we can't make money going by the number of parcels then give up. You aren't good enough, with poor management to steer the Titanic along the Amazon River to destruction.
