Have you used the Christmas Causal Helpline and forward the email " Offer of Royal Mail Christmas Role" christmas_helpline@royalmail.com or telephoned 0845 600 1785 yet about start date error in your email.

The letter you got at recruitment day registration event with your start date and time will be ok.

You will also get in the post welcome letter of 4 pages I received it a few days ago.

All the best

The start date is def on the offer letter you got at the event, not sure about the 4-page welcome pack - still not received that, I've just been on a dummy run to the Middleton site, spoke to a security guy at the warehouse, he said just turn up before 6am with my letter ( free parking - bonus! ). :Very Happy

No the 4 page letter will not quote the your start date and time

The offer letter you got at recruitment day registration event in the correct start date and time.

All the best
