email to letter

Post by post_bitch »

is there such a thing Email to letter form through RM website for say 10 pence.

youd write(type) a letter.. put in address ...press send hey presto RM prints a letter and delievers it for u . alot simpler than getting ..paper , pen , envelope , stamp . walking to postbox + and worrying about hand writing.

or is that just way to much for rm to considor

ps .. if this starts i want inventors fees ;)

you could also have all ranges and styles of paper and envelopes ....
you could even make it recorded .. without having to go down the post office standing in that BIG que !

(thansk to crozier for making ques unbearable for all since closing down local post offices) i take my hat off to you :Applause you bloody genius

this would defo catch on

i know alot of people would use it for a joke jsut to write to sumoen to tell them something silly
forgot mothers day post office closed?? no problem send thru royal imail and will be delivered next day printed and in trays by morning

ROYAL MAIL U LISTEN TO ME U TWAT
u want mail ill give u f***ing mail - by the f***ing BUCKET FULL
lemmie introduce u to a little idea


ive just done more than crozier EVER done apart from wanting to sack everyone to make money
what a stratedgy that was!

lets spend billions on machines so we need less staff and cars do they can double up to save money
LESS STAFF LESS STAFF LESS STAFF LESS POST OFFICES LESS POST OFFICES LESS MAIL LESS MAIL LESS MAIL :arrrghhh
f**k thinking of ways to actaully increase mail!

I know you havnt been a post person for very long ( like me) but having done a few walks no doubt in your months with RM have you not realised the days of the written and posted letter are well and truely over and will never return...If we relied on that type of mail each walk would take about 20 mins ( i,e not much more than the length of the route itself !! ) What you have suggested is pretty much an email by post,,,Dont think its going to happen..Be thankful we have D2D and DSA or else we would be delivering jack,,,, :sad: What we should really concern ourselves with is TNT and the like making massive profits on the back of our donkey works at RMs expense !!!

Given the weight of mail is increasing due to more and more marketing mail, I'd rather not have the weight of this service on top thanks, I'm opting out ;)

I prefer a system where the e-mail stays in e-mail form to be delivered in its weightless form, electronically!

I think Royal Mail should be moving all the D2D and other marketing to electronic form, setting up an official e-mail address for everyone in the country, charging companies a fee to let their ads filter through to the e-mail inboxes. If a household does not have a computer or internet, Royal Mail sells/rents basic forms of both, with staff employed to help anyone new to either bits of modern day life. It would mean a radical change to postie walk sizes, but their is a limit on how far we can walk in a shift during contract hours and the houses in our walk will still have parcels to deliver (so there is a limit on how much we could carry in a trolley)...

RM did do this but stopped it years ago because they couldn't make it work, the senior manager boy that used to come on here (I've forgotten his name :d'oh! ) commented about it. I'm sure Teebs or Postman can remember and find the thread.

Getting the message via Royal e-Mail

E-mails are printed out and sent by first-class post

Britain's Post Office has started a new service which allows you to send e-mails to anyone in the world - even if they do not have a computer.

In a joint venture with Microsoft called Relay One, the Royal Mail will print out e-mails and post them as a telegram.

TNT do this, it's called TranSend http://www.tntpost.co.uk/TranSend/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It would be an interesting idea if RM had a service where bulk mailers could have their mail printed at the inward MC rather than have it trucked all over the country :hmmmm

Yep apparently RM thought it wasn't viable and wouldn't catch on. :neutral:

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.
