Can some Customers really see beyond their own road.

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Although the vast majority of posts on various forums are praiseworthy of the hard work we all put in some comments really beggar belief.

Here are a few I have trawled from other sites.

The Student Room - (bet its nice and warm in there) http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthr ... ?t=1497041" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Royal Mail, stop being wimps and do your job

It seems like they are looking for any excuse to sit back and not do their job.

It's not even cold where I am, and most of the snow has melted, yet items I ordered over a fortnight ago still haven't arrived.

And all this while the price of postage continues to rise. For what, exactly?
All the replies though supported us :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

2. I have never seen a "Do you know who I am" complaint on the internet - but here is the closest. http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Business ... 71427.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Who manages the Royal Mail for complaints?
I send three parcels to the USA to my daughters over there, age 8 and 12, one week before the RM's suggested deadline. They did not arrive on time, i.e by yesterday.

Two disappointed girls and sorry, I do not find the weather conditions from the very start of December much of an excuse, indeed I calssify it as pathetic when one has spent nearly 30 quid on sending the three parcels..

Who is responsible for policing the RM as I am not going through their cr-p of customer service, which, at first sight on-line, has been designed to obsfurcate the process from the very outset. And they only serve to serve themselves.

later ------ and I will take it up with Vaughan Williams who was/is a RM director.....who was at biz school with me

even later -------- And I note Mark Higson, a fellow alumni. is MD of the RM. He has an e-mail accessible to my post grad school and we grads......so I shall raise this subject of (i) completely unacceptable service and (ii) the torturous route to cust complaints, with him directly
Again most answers were supportive. :left: :left:

its meant to fail, they want the public to be against postmen.
2011 will be an interesting year, with more delivery offices changing to park and loop.
I hope dsa is stopped.

owever, in her last year of tenure, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers marked her fourth anniversary with a report card, with the CUPW's President Denis Lemelin commenting: "If you compare the four years before Greene with the four years under Greene's management, the numbers show that injuries have gone up 15.4% and grievances have gone up 59.3%.
This is what happened to employees in Canada post.

This bloke has got his head stuck so far up his own arse that he can probably lick his tonsils from the inside.
