For residential customers maybe. For business customers, its a no-no . If you look into "Access Headroom" and it will become clear.

goldfox royal mail has little control of competing on price. when they raise the price for dsa tnt moan their heads off and Ofcom investigate. when royal mail complain Ofcom tell them to shut up and just get on with it.

I think this "current agreement" will end around Christmas time.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I would expect Royal Mail would prefer to push the union into invalidating the current agreement rather than test its legal implications themselves. I think the MTSF agreement is up for review in January, I don't think it's covered specifically by the legal obligations. It will be interesting to see what's put on the table and what the union is willing to swallow to keep the charade going another few months....
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Good luck to any competitors, rm WASTE too much on managers who do very little, get 3k yearly bonus, yet put up prices EVERY year and service is getting worse because it's DELIVERERS are pushed too hard, until this changes they're going bust. Get me out , just pay me off!

Why doesnt rm promote its mailsort sevice to the big companies. Im no expert but say tnt have a contract with eon and they charge £2m. We could do it for say £1.75m. by using mailsort service at least we collect,sort and deliver the mail without tnt getting involved.

At the end of the day....they're not geared up to go the final mile...and they won't be for a while,were still delivering there TNT stamped downstream access for god sake....as long as were doin that I'm far from worried

In any case it's a well known fact that RM want a majority PT workforce ...so all them boys who've done serious time,will have to be paid off......I reckon VR's arnt far off either.....I'd have to seriously think of that if offered ,depending on the money

You're far from worried that TNT are robbing us of the most profitable part of the mail delivery process and leaving us with the least profitable (possibly even loss making) part??
