So I replied again and sent an email to myapplication from my normal email account and asked them to confirm receipt. Of course they haven’t replied yet lol. I think as we all got our formal offers on the same day, we’ll all get the next emails on the same day. That seems to be how they work.

Yeh agreed. I’m the in the same position as well. Got my formal offer on the 12th June with a start date of the 2nd July. I replied that night with acceptance , bank details etc but heard nothing since and my status still says ‘offer’.

I've received confirmation that they have received my acceptance and details. Will be in touch again nearer the start date.

I didn't get an email

Just sent them an email from my normal account instead of the mimecast one asking them to confirm receipt.

That’s what I did and they confirmed, via mimecast

Hi, did any of you get the welcome email with the further info yet?

How strange I’ve just received the welcome email with the documents that you need to send off with contract when that comes!

Hello,

I'm looking to return to Royal Mail as a postie again ( Had to leave a year ago to look after my disabled mother)

I've had two interviews
1x Traffic sampler 20hrs on 26/06/18
1x Postie 20hrs 27/06/18

However another postie job has popped up closer to me for 30hrs. Just applied for it today.
This is the one I want however, if they do call to offer me the two other jobs, can I ask for a 'consideration deadline' to allow me to 'decide' while I wait and hope the 30hrs postie position gets offered to me?
I have no doubts I want to go back being a postie again.

Thank you for your advices.

From my experience of going through the application process recently, I think you would have to withdraw your application for the 20 hrs job to be considered for the 30 hrs one. You cannot have 2 applications for a postman role, even if they are at different offices.
Might be different for ex-employees though.
