I think its a way to sell it off ,shes goes on about the decline in letters and we want to be the best delivery company then increases the prices, they kept it all quite and then you notice the new parcel labels, top secret, run by con merchants.db wrote:We're all as perplexed as you are!bigal383 wrote:guys what are royal mail playing at increasing parcel fees we was doing brilliant for packages now they go and double the prices , i cant understand it at all , they trying to lose money or what! if this leads to job losses somethig needs doing

Re: parcel increase something needs doing
maybe our union should ask moya who was the culprit to put up the prices.and also why did she agree to this increase and if she did perhaps she should stand down and clear off to canada.i am sure royal mail would pay her removal fees AGAIN!
just hope someone mentions this at conferance instead of the union trying to see if the members still backing the cwu .

Re: parcel increase something needs doing
wouldn't be surprised if it was a cunning plan to get rid of staff and make the duties larger, less parcels=bigger rounds

It doesn't seem to have stopped the ridiculous amount of packets our office gets.

There is actually a government e-petition on the go about the price rises.

Re: parcel increase something needs doing
spoke to one of our managers and he said packets were down by 30% but RM had still made more profit from the higher prices . they are obviously playing a dangerous game, relying on people who cant be bothered to find a different alternative and just stump up the extra cash. if it works , its a great reason to cull the staff even further
