royal mail behind by about 10/14days!!

Post by POSTMAN »

I received my item this morning it was a recorded delivered item and had taken about two weeks to arrive not the sellers fault but royal mail.
My husband is actually my delivery man for royal mail but had been of work for two weeks for holiday so didnt know how bad things were.
Im not sure how different area are but i know at the moment the se of london is about 10/14 days behind so if your waiting this is proberly why.

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.

We had a busy very easy Monday and Tuesday and it appeared that today we cleared most of the backlog (not that our office has much space to put a backlog in). Most of the mail did seem to be from Royal Mail - 1st,2nd and Mail Sort - with very little from TNT etc.

Still, it starts again tomorrow !

Strange we had a fair bit of the DSA stuff, perhaps they have just hidden it well at your office, or they are keeping it at your MC.

We've been getting through a right load in the last week or so, and I've noticed quite a lot of stamped mail is coming through very late, nearly a week sometimes
