Sir, - The service we are receiving at the hands of Royal Mail is turning into a farce and it is obvious Perth delivery office is in crisis.

For the last two weeks now the mail to our estate is being delivered as late as 6.30pm.

This is outrageous, but people waiting on DWP giro payments, who don't have access to bank or post office accounts like myself, are unable to cash the cheque until the next day. Also, people waiting on cheques cannot bank them until the next day.

When you phone customer services to complain you are given a whole lot of platitudes but no explanation and no promise of things ever improving.

The level of service has certainly not matched the excessive rise in prices.

The problem is of course there is no competition to deliver residential mail.

Royal Mail have the monopoly so they can treat their customers any way they want — and they do.

Perth is top of Scotland's DOs for first class service according to the propoganda screen in the canteen.
In the top 10 in the country along with Dundee and somewhere else that I forget.

To be fair it's even worse that that.
The propaganda says that The region is home to the top performing postcode in the UK, PH (Perth), who achieved a 97% performance rating of First Class Mail delivered on time, the next day after posting.

Perth is actually the top postcode in whole of the UK...fact.

How do they know they delivered 97% of first class mail the next day.
Is it those panellists again?

No, they couldn't have. Surely not, not again?
They wouldn't have, would they?
I feel bad for even thinking it.

You're a very cruel man CCR

The PH postcode extends as far as the Scottish Islands Rhum,Eigg and Canna.

“For the last two weeks now the mail to our estate is being delivered as late as 6.30pm. This is outrageous - - - ”

You’re f*cking right it’s outrageous! Who in their right minds wants to be out till that hour delivering your shite? You should be offering up prayers of thanks to whatever god you worship for the diligence and conscientiousness of your postie.

“People waiting on DWP giro payments, who don't have access to bank or post office accounts like myself, are unable to cash the cheque until the next day.”

Sorry but sympathy extends only so far. We promise to deliver on the day, not by a certain hour. There are numerous ways you could overcome this apparent dilemma, go figure

Straight4ward..you've gone all Daily Mail on his ass.
Bad day at the office?

[Straight4ward]

Yeah, bad day at the office.
Seriously bad day.

[POSTMAN]

Do we have to do the leeway thing cause he's had a bad day.

[fishtank]

Yeah, bad day at the office.
Seriously bad day.

I feel your pain.
Look on the bright side,tomorrow could be so bad that you end up looking back on today with genuine fondness.
That's my "glass is always being thrown at you" philosophy.

Do we have to do the leeway thing cause he's had a bad day.

You want to start now?
