Is this the new "MAIL VOLUMES ARE DROPPING"

Post by jockstrapp »

“As part of Royal Mail’s £2 billion investment in modernising its operations across the country, changes are being made at a number of delivery offices in this area. When any such major change is implemented, some disruption is possible as we adjust to new ways of working.”
Every time the newspapers report FAILING deliveries the same NEW excuse comes out, still it makes a change from "MAIL VOLUMES ARE FALLING" ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar ;liar

Mail volumes are dropping slightly i,e your average hand written letter, maybe so as people are able to send e-mails etc but the junk mail on the other hand just seems to have trebled, been in the job nearly 10 yr and i've never known it to be busier :sad:

With an empty frame and a box of sequenced mail I average about 35 items per minute and it takes me about 10 minutes per box, so that's about 350 items per box.
