Spoke to the reporter on Friday after my package didn't turn up and I spoke to the postman who informed em of all the problems they're having, then we had no delivery on Saturday, no delivery today. I'm waiting for 5 packages now, this sucks.
I don't understand, as the new system clearly isn't working, why they aren't going back to the old one that worked!
With Christmas coming up, why not use the old system until January and then perhaps start experimenting with new deliveries.


Thats to sensible and Royal Fail does'nt do sensible. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

Welcome to the site Lucaj. If you spend a bit of time reading through the threads on here you will find the service is being ruined nationwide. The powers that be can't see it though :roll:
Since that post I looked at a couple more threads and realised that!
It's ridiculous how management, with no idea of the reality of how deliveries work, can sit in an office and decide the most efficient way to do deliveries! They obviously have no idea of the logistics involved.
I find in all businesses those 'higher up' have an assumed sense of better understanding, that they can advise those underneath them how better to do their job. From what I gather no one who's 'on the ground' was asked by the management if they thought the new system would work.
It sucks I haven't got my packages, but I feel most sorry for all the staff in the sorting offices, and postmen on their rounds who have to deal with managements f**k-ups.
Thanks for the welcome!
Welcome to the world of Royal Mail Lucaj, great aint it ? :roll:

When you know your way around a sheltered housing block they are easy.
The first time you go in it is exactly like the picture.
Do they do this to confuse the residents, so they have an excuse to medicate them?
And why is there always a bloke sitting on a bench reading the newspaper, watching, while you wander round trying to figure out why the doors are not in any sensible numerical order?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
