New packet prices
With the new price for packets now in operation, has anyone seen a significant increase in the daily volumes.

Re: New packet prices
Easy for you in a mail centre,try cramming everything into a vauxhall combi and delivering it in your time.We had an increase in big packets ,probably 10 or 12 more than normal.wearewolves wrote:should be doing more tbh price wise

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: New packet prices
It's been strangely light on packets for a few weeks now on our walks. The odd bad day but certainly less then we usually get.

Re: New packet prices
Stupid idiots who thought up the new parcel/packet prices/sizes. When packaging stuff to send., (and I do quite a lot), you still have to waste time finding an appropriate size packet/box, measuring it, is it 1mm too thick, 1cm too long, is the item you have thinly wrapped in one layer of bubble, going to be damaged? It's so much easier using a courier. RM fannying around adjusting the sizes ain't gonna make a **** of difference.
